Overview
Your essay assignment is to write an analytical research essay on a salient human-environment interaction. Human impacts on the environment are widespread and can have significant implications for wildlife populations. Identify a threatened or endangered species in Canada and discuss their main threats. Make sure to discuss how these threats specifically affect your chosen species and what mitigation measures could be taken to help protect them. Are there aspects of the species ecology or life history that make them more vulnerable to human threats? Is it likely that mitigation measures will actually be put in place? and if not, why not?
