1 ASB Mission:Wolf Wolf Conservation and Sustainability Facilitators: Laura Beshilas Billy Morrison Faculty Advisor: Keith Mako Woodhouse Environmental Policy and Culture, History Class Time and Place: Class meets every Monday from 6-9 P.M. Classroom is to be determined. Goal & Objectives: This course is roughly divided into three sections: Predator Control in the United States, Conservation and Sustainability, and Human Society and Wolves. Through these sections, participants will gain a greater understanding of the history of predators and predator control in the United States, of conservation, ecology, and sustainability, and the role of wolves in the environment. The course will also explore the concepts of environmental policy, wolf behavior and social structure, and the relationship between humans and wolves. The course aims to prepare students for a one week trip to Mission:Wolf in Colorado, in order to make the experience more meaningful. By the end of the course, participants should be able to: Explain a brief history of wolves in the US, including their near-extinction and more recent debates. Define keystone species, and relate the concept to wolves and their ecosystems. Identify the inaccuracies in the portrayals of wolves in popular fiction and in the media. Discuss the pros and cons of certain sustainability initiatives, including solar power and the recycling movement. Relatedly, gain an introduction to Mission Wolf s use of sustainable technologies Understand Mission Wolf s objectives, and the problems that arise when attempting to domesticate a wolf-dog hybrid. Course Outline:
2 Part One: Predator Control in the United States This section of the course will look at the political and societal aspects behind predator extermination in the United States in the 19th and 20th centuries. Part Two: Conservation and Sustainability Students will learn about climate change and the role that humans play in the changing ecosystems. This section will focus on sustainability and conservation, and how these practices relate to the well-being of wolves and the overall world ecology. Part Three: Human Society and Wolves In this part of the course, students will explore how the view of wolves has evolved throughout the history of human society, and question how the media shapes opinions on wolves in the general public. Expectations: Class participants are expected to attend the ASB trip to Mission:Wolf and to complete all requisite readings and assignments for each class meeting. Attendance at each class in mandatory and active participation is expected of everyone. Failure to uphold these requirements and to demonstrate commitment to the trip and its mission may result in dismissal from the class. If any concerns should arise, please the student facilitators. Grades will be determined based on participation (40%), weekly assignments (20%), a group presentation (20%), and a final presentation (20%). You will receive one credit through SESP, and this class must be taken pass/fail. All written assignments are to be ed to each of the facilitators before the beginning of class. Assignments should be double-spaced with one-inch margins. Participation The participation grade will be based on attendance, attentiveness, preparation, and meaningful contribution to discussion. Presentations Each week, a pair of students will present a topic relating to the course material for about 15 minutes. Required components: A biography slide from each presenter to introduce themselves General background information on the topic Images throughout the presentation Video relating to the topic if relevant Three discussion questions (that should prompt at least another ten minutes of discussion)
