1. There are many different types of strategies and tools that people are using to help “conserve” the environment. Do you think that there are any types of conservation efforts that are actually poor, ineffective ways of helping/protecting nature in urban areas?
2. What conservation efforts do you think people in highly urbanized areas should practice?
3. How did you come up with the seven goals for conservation for your last chapter? Do you think there are now even more important goals that people should be focusing on?
4. How closely related do you think the relationship between natural disasters (e.g. droughts, hurricanes, etc) and changes in the environment (e.g. climate) is?
5. In your book, you discuss a lot about the past history of environmental changes and successions and influences. What kind of ecological changes do you think will take place within the next 100 years? Do you think they will be good changes or bad changes for nature?
