This was very difficult because I have never done one before and didn't know what to do. I hope that I did it right.

Annotated Bibliography
I will be writing an issues paper on the things being
done to preserve the world’s biodiversity, or the lack of things being done and
possible helps for better preserving this important part of our world. I will be writing to the general public, but
I will also be directing comments towards those in positions of power who are
capable of furthering the preservation of biodiversity on a larger scale.
As part of my preparation for my writing I have selected
several different sources that I would like to incorporate into the context of
my paper.
Weeks, Jennifer.
"Native Species Suffer When Invasives Thrive." CQ
Researcher 17
Feb. 2012. Print.
The
first article I have selected was written by Jennifer Weeks and addresses the
issue of invasive species. Invasive
species are any species that is non-native to a geographical location. It talks about how they can be destructive
and even wipe out entire populations of native species. I would like to use this article for
background information as well as for a different viewpoint on the topic of
things that can be done to preserve biodiversity.
Weeks, Jennifer.
"USDA Seeks New Farmers." CQ Researcher 10 Aug. 2012. Print.
I
chose to use this article as well because, even though it is from the same
author, it shows a different way that we can all be more active in preserving
biodiversity. I would like to use it as
part of my argument as evidence with benefits attached.
"Encouraging Anglers
to Keep Fish." Salt Lake Tribune 2 Oct. 2014. Print.
This was published by the “Utah
Division Of Natural Resources.” It
talks about the fisheries, or bodies of water in Utah where you can go fishing
and some of the problems that are arising from the lack of fishing. This article will give me some great evidence
as well as some background information as to things that have happened but have
simply become, “Things of the past”. I
will then use it to show things that can be re-implemented into our modern
society.
Sautner, Stephen, and John
Delaney. "Strange, Fanged Deer Persists in Afghanistan."Wildlife Conservation Society. 13
Oct. 2014. Web. 8 Nov. 2014.
<www.wcs.org/press/press-releases/strange-vampire-deer.aspx>.
It
talks about a rare breed of deer in Afghanistan that has made a comeback due to
conservation efforts. I will be using it
for some of my counter arguments.
At this point I only have one more article. "Mystery of the Vanishing
Pollinators." CQ Researcher 13 Jan. 2007. Print.
In his article he talks about a dramatic
decline in the United States’ honeybee population. He talks about the use for and necessity for
the bees and I feel that it will give me some evidence to help strengthen my paper.
