The grey wolf is considered a "success story" of the Endangered Species Act. It has been successfully reintroduced into areas where we had pushed/hunted it out. But will the wolf populations continue to be successful without federal protection? If their habitat is not protected and ranchers are allowed to kill wolves on their property, will the wolf survive?
This week, we're going to be holding a debate on this topic! For this debate, you will be taking on the role of a stakeholder, which is an individual or group with a vested interest in the outcome of an action. While pretending that you are a member of one of the groups of stakeholders, you will be debating whether or not to delist wolves from the Endangered Species List.
Here's what you need to do:
Step 1: Read this article to learn about our scenario: https://bc.instructure.com/courses/2062999/pages/for-wolves-a-recovery-may-not-be-the-blessing-it-seems
Step 2: Watch this video on wolves in Idaho: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mm5xKa9qNwU&feature=youtu.be
Step 3: Pick any one of the following stakeholders. It might be fun to pick one that you completely disagree with. In this exercise, we will not assume that the position you take is your own personal opinion.
