Reading for Monday, November 17

Please read the article titled "Can the World Really Set Aside Half of the Planet for Wildlife?" Link below. Be prepared to discuss the following two questions, as well as any additional ideas or insights you have while reading:

1) What is the answer to the central question? Can the world do this? Why or why not?

2) Should the world do this? Why or why not?

Class will begin at the normal place on Monday, but one student will be chosen to lead us to a favorite outdoor space on campus. If you arrive late, please be sure to communicate with a classmate to find out where to find us.
