In what ways do you think species matter and it is important to protect species from extinction, or keep them flourishing? Is there something about species or biodiversity that makes it inherently to-be-valued?

In the study of human nature, what is the meaning of the acronym WEIRD? People who are Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic are the most cooperative people in the world. O People who are White, Elderly, Informed, Rich and Dead (like Marx, Darwin, and Kropotkin) have been among the most influential authors on the topic of human cooperation. O People who are Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich and from Democratic countries are NOT representative of all humanity, yet they are oversampled in studies of human behavior. People who are Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich and from Democratic countries hold most of the political power in the world, and so they are the least cooperative people.

The principle that species cannot occupy the same niche forever, one will eventually exclude the other is known as: O Zone of differentiation O Differential exclusion O Competition mediated exclusion O Character displacement O Competitive exclusion

What species is targeted for conservation? What are their primary social behaviors (Group size, lifestyle, foraging habits and diet, hierarchies, territorial habits)? Where are they located and what are potential human influences on their habitats? What are the specific conservation strategies proposed in the report? How do they make use of new technologies (like GPS tracking, drone survey etc if applicable)? Do you think the strategies are appropriate given the particular social behaviors of that species? Do the strategies appropriately address the needs of this species as well as local community well-being and the political context?
