Chapter 11, Problem 11.1CTDQ

To determine

The emphasis that would lie down while designing conversation strategy.

Answer to Problem 11.1CTDQ

An individual would lie emphasis on protecting entire ecosystem while designing conversation strategy.

Explanation of Solution

Endangered species are those species which are in danger of extinction. Examples are whooping cranes and Florida panther.

Flagships species are those species which are interesting or attractive and can motivate people to preserve biodiversity and contribute their efforts for conservation. Examples are giant panda and killer whales.

An individual emphasizes on fact that no species is more important and all are equally important in an ecosystem.

An individual would side with the ecologists that are concentrating on protecting whole ecosystem or communities rather than put efforts to protect flagships species.

This is because every individual or species is dependent on each other to live in an ecosystem. All have the same right to live equally and nobody is at the top positions in an ecosystem.

So, an individual will lie emphasizes on protecting the entire ecosystem while designing conversation strategy.
