In this task, you will assume the role of a wildlife biologist that must decide if reintroduction of cougars into the Eastern US is a feasible mitigation strategy for addressing white-tailed deer overpopulation. You will use scientific information from a variety of sources and what you learn in each learning cycle to support or challenge the reintroduction of cougars to the Eastern United States. Your position on the issue should be based on evidence related to the following factors: impact that the deer population is having on ecosystems • social and economic costs of the overpopulation of deer on various stakeholders • the habitat requirements of cougars, the availability of natural resources and carrying capacity of areas where they would be introduced • potential cougar impact on biodiversity, including on populations of coyote and white-tailed deer potential social and economic costs or benefits to stakeholders in areas where cougars are introduced
