Discussion:
Review the occurrences at Easter Island and use this situation as a case study of poor stewardship that resulted in lack of sustainability.
Define stewardship and define sustainability. Then, select either the Amazon Rainforest (deforestation is the issue) or Bridger Teton National Forest located in Western Wyoming (possible oil drilling).
Discuss stewardship and sustainable resource use. Describe the issues or potential problems. What are the environmental implications of deforestation of the Amazon? What are the ramifications of drilling for oil in Bridger Teton National Forest if this is your topic selection?
Can either area be conserved through wise use or should segments be preserved without any use?
