Please respond to all 6 of the question sets below with full paragraphs and original thoughts. Use short quotations from the text or any of the other course materials we have read so far to support your ideas and perspectives and make connections.

Sand Count Almanac Foreword

KEY CONCEPT: COMMUNITY

Leopold encouraged people to expand their vision of the world around them to include the natural world in their community as they would their neighbors. When people begin to look at plants, animals, soils, and waters in that context, they may consider them in a different way.

QUESTIONS

1. Compare your values with Leopolds: Is the ability to see geese more important to you than television or social media? Are you one who can live without wild things or one who cannot? How do various groups in American society currently determine the value of wild things? How is this demonstrated? How do disagreements about values play out in our government or society?

2. Leopold talks about the need to get the company back in step. Who is the company in this metaphor? What does Leopold suggest might be needed for the company to get back in step? Has the definition of conservation changed or stayed the same since Leopolds time? What does Leopold refer to when he talks about community?

Thinking Like a Mountain

KEY CONCEPT: HUMILITY

Leopolds own misdeeds led him to be very concerned about the impacts of those with good intentions, but incomplete information. According to Leopold, humanitys blind pursuit of success needs to be re-evaluated.

QUESTIONS

3. Politicians are often criticized for changing their minds or positions on issues. However, it is critical for scientists to be able to do just this, sometimes referred to as a paradigm shift. Can you think about a time when learning allowed you consciously to change your mind about something? Is this the goal of education?

4. This essay identifies many different perspectives, that of the wolf, the hunter, the rancher, and ultimately the mountain. Leopold is challenging the reader to re-read the natural order from the mountains perspective. What does that mean to you?

 5. Leopold describes the intense power of seeing the green fire die in the wolfs eye, but he didnt understand until many years later why his actions felt wrong. Have you ever done something environmentally related you thought was OK, but regretted it later once you became more aware? What made you realize you were mistaken?

6. At the end of the essay Leopold seems to be asking if complacency, or safety, will ultimately result in danger. Wildness reminds us that we cannot, or perhaps even should not, try to control everything. Do you agree? Why/why not?

marine study

/in /by

INSTRUCTIONS: You were recently hired by the Fish and Wildlife Service for the state of Waorca as a resource manager in charge of marine diversity (congratulations youre making the big bucks!). Two weeks into your job, the blue sea lion (Zalophus aqua; no this is not a real species) is designated as endangered in your region; the blue sea lion is found within Waorca and so this species is under your purview. As a result, you are charged with (1) assessing the status of the blue sea lion in Waorca, as well as (2) determining potential threats, and (3) the means of managing this sea lion.

Note that your answer to Question 3 relates back to Questions 1 and 2 so it makes sense to sketch out your answers in advance to make sure you are fully answering Question 3 (which is worth the most points!).

You need to write a scientific report that details these elements to present to the head of the Waorca Fish and Wildlife Service. Address the following three questions, each in its own paragraph you only need to write ONE PARAGRAPH for each of the three questions.

*You will be writing your answers in scientific writing ‘style’. Remember that you will be graded on both content and writing, so grammar, spelling and sentence structure count, as well as the quality of your scientific writing (*no references needed though obviously). Remember to write succinctly and precisely, and to include introductory and summary sentences for your paragraphs to give context to your writing.
