Species Conservation Management Plan Report and Class Exercise

In this project, students work in pairs to become an expert in their assigned IUCN Red List endangered species. They are charged to create a well-researched, written conservation management plan. They must include all ecologically-relevant information for their species (including the socio-ecological system in which they reside), indicate current threats & propose a conservation plan. Students are asked to recognize which communities of humans are impacted by the decline of this species and make a case for whether this species should be saved and how feasible it would be. A class exercise is designed for the sharing of information to learn about other species and see trends through a “speed dating” activity.

在本项目中，学生们以双数分组，致力于成为其指定受国际自然保护联盟红色名录威胁物种的专家。他们被赋予制定一份经过深入研究的、书面形式的保护管理计划的职责。他们必须包括其物种所有生态相关的信息（包括其所居住的社会生态系统），指出当前的威胁并提议一项保护计划。学生们还被要求识别哪些人类社区受到该物种衰退的影响，并就是否应该挽救该物种及其可行性进行论证。一项课堂练习旨在通过‘快速约会’活动分享信息，以了解其他物种并洞察趋势。
