Our аuthоr explаins biоdiversity lоss now requires "priority rаnkings"—we lack resources to save everything. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service uses threat magnitude and recovery likelihood. But our author notes other factors might matter: ecological value, economic value, aesthetic value, cultural significance, public support, native vs. invasive status, and species complexity.Consider a situation in which you are in the position to allocate $10 million in species preservation funding. You have these three options (you can fund only one):A: Florida bonneted bat—native, highly endangered, pollinator, moderate ecological value. Success probability: 60%. Limited public support.B: American burying beetle—native, highly endangered, decomposer, moderate ecological value. Success probability: 85%. Virtually no public support.C: Red wolf—native, critically endangered, keystone predator, major ecological value. Success probability: 30%. Ranchers (about 10% of the state's population) strongly oppose, but strong support from the non-ranching public.Which do you choose and why? Identify which priority criteria from our author matter most to your decision, explain why you're weighting those over others, and evaluate whether your reasoning is logically consistent.⚠️ Reminder: Submitting any part of this Learning Evaluation created in whole or part using AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, etc.) or AI-enhanced writing/translation platforms (e.g., Grammarly, QuillBot, DeepL, Google Translate, Wordtune, Microsoft Editor, etc.) is a violation of this course’s Academic Integrity policy (see Syllabus).Like other forms of plagiarism, it is considered academic misrepresentation or fraud—because you are submitting work generated by someone or something else as your own.
