Discuss how these actions represent the changes in the field of conservation biology over time.

***video presentation, no need to film yourself or voice. Just be a powerpoint type video***

Consider this scenario for this assignment:

A local middle school science teacher is teaching students about the history and value of conservation biology. The class wants to learn about this by exploring different species of life and how they have been impacted by changes to the environment over time.

As a member of the community and a person interested in environmental science, you have volunteered to create a video presentation to share with the middle school science students to help them learn about these topics. Your presentation must be comprehensive and at the appropriate age level for your audience to understand. Keep in mind that middle school students are typically in grades 6, 7, or 8 and are 11–14 years old.

Refer to the video resources located in the “Video Resources” section below for assistance in creating a video.

Select 1 plant or animal species from The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ located on the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources’ (IUCN) website to use for this assignment. You will use the search bar at the top of the IUCN home page to enter and search for a species’ name or region. You can also select a species that’s featured on the website’s home page. You will use this information for every aspect of your video. Expand each information section that populates on the IUCN website for your selected species, so you can fully address each element you need to include for this assignment. When you get to the critique portion, you will be asked to explore a few additional sources.

Create a 3- to 4-minute video about how the field of conservation biology has impacted your selected plant or animal species.

Include the following components in your video: 

  • Identify the following about your chosen species:
  • Common name
  • Scientific name
  • Assessment and population trend information from The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 
  • Habitat and geographic range
  • Use and trade of the species to the geographic area
  • Summarize the threats to the species.
  • Explain the conservation actions that have been taken to support the species.
  • Explain the importance of presenting these issues to middle school students.
  • Critique the conservation actions taken to reduce the impact on species. Include the following:
  • Discuss any local regulations or policies that have been created in response to this challenge.
  • Discuss how these actions represent the changes in the field of conservation biology over time.
  • Support your critique by using at least 2 sources from reputable environmental groups, or government websites.

Cite sources to support your assignment.

Format citations and references according to APA guidelines.

How do you think learning about value determination within ecosystems will impact your future career in environmental science?

Reply to two prompts in 100 words each. No sites needed, these are just thoughts on the prompts.    (Original prompt for you consideration,  Think back to your previous experiences and prior knowledge with respect to ecosystem function.

  • What do you find most interesting about ecology and ecosystems?
  • What has been your experience with ecology and ecosystems?
  • How do you think the experiences you have described so far have impacted your knowledge and perceptions about ecology and ecosystems?
  • How do you think learning about value determination within ecosystems will impact your future career in environmental science?
  • As you think back on Weeks 1 and 2 of this course, how might your knowledge about biodiversity and ecosystem stability be related to ecosystem function? Use specific examples.)

Prompt 1: What I find most interesting about the study of the living and nonliving things around us is that, like most curious folks, is to understand the environment around me. But unlike most curious folks, I want to explore and research each component up close! For my experience with ecology and the ecosystem is that I can picture myself as a component in the environment as well. What I mean by that is that I also play my role in the ecosystem. I like to picture what I am doing is affecting the ecosystem and at the same time, this thought helps remind me to be the better person. When I think of how this awareness of the environment around me and how I understand its value for me and for future generations as well will help me in my role as a future environmentalist. How much of an impact will it play to my future career is still undetermined.

Prompt 2: I am interested in discovering how ecosystems can help our societies progress when we study them in more detail and better understand their importance to our planet and how they work. And how we can reflect on nature to create a more efficient modern ecosystem of our own. My experience with ecosystems in my daily is taking care of a garden on a daily bases. Besides that, just studying for now—my everyday adventures of just caring for a garden impact how I look at ecosystems. How I learn right now will determine how my career will grow and how and when I will start my career. Well understanding biodiversity and ecosystem stability of each level of an ecosystem, micro, and macro, will help determine what functions in the ecosystems as keystone species.
