Choose a wildlife species that is a target for conservation, in the United States and/or worldwide. Do some initial research into the
species’ current status. What are the key concerns (habitat, genetics, etc.)? What tools are being used to address these concerns
(designation of critical habitat, etc.)? When did the conservation effort begin and what triggered it? What are the successes, failures, or
data gaps so far? Who are the players (state and federal managers, landowners, grassroots nonprofits). Research and write about your
chosen species in the context of a contemporary practical issue or problem in the species’ conservation and include legal and policy
perspectives in addition to the science and management. Is this species listed as threatened or endangered under the ESA, IUCN, CITES?
When was that determination made, and why?
Use the following headings.
1. Research Question
2. Introduction
3. Background
4. Relevant Policy and Law and How They Apply to This Species
5. Detailed Analysis and Discussion
6. Conclusion
7. Recommendations (research, policy discussions, what are the next steps?)
