Hi Class- here are the two readings for this week, both 1-2 pages each. These were originally scheduled for next week, but I nixed the planned readings and moved these up, that way you can just concentrate on your project data next week.
Kareiva, P. 2014. New conservation: setting the record straight and finding common ground. Conservation Biology 28(3): 634-636
11/7 Debate
What should we do about certain issues in conservation?
Don’t need to do too much extra research- just learn what it is, find example, and use what you’ve read/learned to apply it to these scenarios:
Potential examples:
-Wolves in the west
-Coyotes in NYC
-Australia marsupial conservation
-Restoration in of plants in HI
-Galapagos
-Kangaroos
-Jamaica Bay restoration
-New Orleans
-De-extinction
Plan:
Groups will get 20 mins to come together, chat
Individual responses– up to 5-minute thoughts/argument and then those with same ideas get together as a panel and answer questions
-Overview of topic (together)
-One Example- explain it
-Strategy they would take
-Why
-What thought of conservation it falls under, or along the spectrum
Then give the audience 10 minutes to ask questions
