The purpose of this paper is to write a proposal to the World Health Organization about a species to protect or eliminate. The subject of this proposal will be to eradicate the oriental
cockroach (Blatta
orientalis), also known as the water bug. More instructions are down below.
1. Make a plan
Does your species qualify as being valuable to spend money on to save or eliminate? It should meet one of these criteria: Is your species on an endangered species list? Is your species valuable for medical research? Is your species invasive & threatening native ecosystems or crops? Is your species causing a dangerous disease? In addition, make sure you choose a single species (e.g. Malaria is distributed by more than one species of mosquito).
Why? What are the benefits of saving/eradicating this species? Why is this species important? What would happen in the best case if this species were saved/eliminated?
Why not? What are the environmental risks of saving/eliminating this species? What could happen in the worst case if this species was not saved/eliminated?
How? How feasible is it to save/eliminate this species? What actions are you proposing to save/eliminate this species and how safe are these actions?
Can you find any scientific study or data that help you make your argument?
2. Write the proposal
Summarize your findings in a proposal (pre-proposal minimum 700 words, final draft minimum 1000 words).
Structure your proposal according to the questions listed in the plan.
Use the rubric for a good proposal.
