Propose a potential solution to the issue of wolf populations being so successful out West.
Procedure
- Do some online research about the topic. Read others opinions on it. Read the article Wolf Wars from National Geographic that is posted on our blog page. It will be a valuable resource for scientific data.
- Form an opinion on what you think should be done about wolves! Exterminate them? Hunt them? No management? You need to develop a solution that will appease all parties here: conservationists, cattle ranchers, government officials, and the general public.
- Finally, create your proposal. It can be an essay, a poster, a pamphlet, etc. There is no length requirement and I don’t care what form your proposal takes as long as the quality is there.
Grading
- This proposal will be out of 20 points. An “project would include the following:
- Background on the gray wolf and the justification for the 1995 reintroduction. It should be clear you understand how the YNP ecosystem changed with/without wolves.
- A proposed solution to the issue outlined in detail. It should be FEASIBLE! How will your idea be implemented? Who will pay for it? How will your idea satisfy all concerned parties? All of these questions should be addressed.
- More than anything, your proposal should be backed up by evidence as much as possible!!!! Do some research!!
