Post a 200- to 300-word response to the following questions:
• What role, if any, do you think people should play in preserving those regions threatened by human encroachment?
• How should the interests of competing groups be balanced?
Example: Drilling in the Arctic-environmental groups oppose the plan on the grounds of the destruction to the habitat; those in favor argue that tapping into the oil there would be good for the economy and decrease reliance on foreign oil.
• What about when the habitat is not within the U.S. borders? Many international conservation groups are working to save the rainforest-what rights do people have to interfere with how another sovereign nation chooses to manage its lands?
