Find a species .
Choose
A species is either
Worth saving (eg. listed as endangered )
Worth protecting (e.g. produces a medical component )
Worth eradicating (eg. invasive species threating crops; fatal disease)
Make a plan.
To write a strong proposal , address the following questions .
What species? Is your species on an endangered species list valuable for medical research? Is your
species invasive & threatening native ecosystems or ? Is your species causing a dangerous disease? Did
you choose a single species (e.g. Malaria is distributed by more than one species of mosquito)?
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? -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 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 data that help you make your
argument?
Write a proposal .
Summarize your findings in a pre-proposal (700-900 words).
