Document Summary
Mon nov 14- conservation assignment due: how to do conservation. Times new roman, double space) statement of what you think is the best conservation strategy and why (including references- don"t need too many, 3-4 is fine) *if you can"t make it to yours just show up to one. Morally burdened: decisions aren"t always based on logic, but rather based on what is right to do. Based in a cultural setting: have to think about how community will respond to different strategies/agencies: example: tried to force a switch from cattle to fish in a community in kibale. Built fish ponds to take advantage of local habitat, but did not consider that people did not like fish and they forgot to leave nets to catch the fish. How do we select a species: might want to save species with small population, small range to prevent extinction. If you do this you give up on mountain gorillas.
