Title: Which species will live?
Author: Michelle Nijhuis
A:
-Focusing its far-flung efforts on a small number of animals.
-They spent months analyzing thousands of declining bird and mammal species around the world.
-They had chosen several hundred that could serve as cornerstones for the organization’s work.
-It was important to recognize the enormity of what we were doing—that we were confronting loss on a huge scale.
-As budgets shrink, environmental stresses grow, politicians and regulators increasingly favor helping the economy over helping the planet.
-The concept of conservation triage is based loosely on medical triage.
-All species are fundamentally equal, and everything can and should be saved, regardless of its importane to humans.
-Act is still considered the most powerful environmental law in the world. Stipulated eligibility for protection of all non pest species
-Conservationist pushing for explicit triage say they're bringing systematic thinking and transparency to practices that have been carried out implicitly.
-Alternative is evolution first favor most genetically unusual threatened species. Emphasizes preservation of genetic diversity.
-Norman Meyers proposed that his colleagues should try to protect the max# of the species by focusing on land areas that were full of plants and found nowhere else.
-Protected areas are hard to police and because climate change is already shifting specie ranges, and static boundaries may not offer the best long-term protection.
-Even though conversation about triage come a long way, conservationists remain uncomfortable taking responsibility for final, fateful decisions.

C:
Conservationists are reluctantly experimenting with three forms of triage to help them decide which species to try to save or not save. Each method has different priorities: "Function first" favors species that perform a unique job in nature. "Evolution first" seeks to preserve genetic diversity. "Hot spots" prefers ecosystems rich in species.All species are fundamentally equal, and everything can and should be saved, regardless of its importane to humans.Norman Meyers proposed that his colleagues should try to protect the max# of the species by focusing on land areas that were full of plants and found nowhere else.Protected areas are hard to police and because climate change is already shifting specie ranges, and static boundaries may not offer the best long-term protection.

Say Who?

What If...?
Each method has different priorities?
What Does This Remind Me Of?
Hotspots were thought to top priority lists, by combining function first and evolution first processes: protects ecological relations by focusing on the entire ecosystem, and protects genetic diversity by prioritizing endemic species.
