Note this should take 6 to 8 hours to complete. <\/span>If at any point you have a question about the assignment, please let me know ASAP so we can<\/span> schedule a Zoom discussion.<\/span>
For this assignment, you are to complete the following 3 parts, that build on one another:<\/span>
1)<\/span> <\/span>Observe an animal, or animals, that is\/are in captivity with you observing them for a minimum<\/span> of 2 hours. Here you can go to a zoo, a pet store, a sanctuary, an aquarium, or watch an animal<\/span> via a livestream from multiple zoos around the world\u2014note companion animals do not count<\/span> for this, nor animals in the wild or in a park\u2014<\/span>they have to be in captivity<\/span>.<\/span><\/div>\n

a.<\/span> <\/span>For this, turn in a summary of observed behaviors based on an animal ethogram (to be<\/span>
covered in Canvas video, and see pptx on animal ethograms on Canvas);<\/span><\/div>\n

i.<\/span> <\/span>For this you *must* use an online program that can help you turn your<\/span>
observations into a chart\/graph\/graphic, to visually represent your data. Label<\/span>
your charts for the various categories of behavior you observed over the 2-hour<\/span>
period. (<\/span>10 points<\/span>)<\/span><\/div>\n

b.<\/span> <\/span>First, explain in one paragraph your methods of observation; (<\/span>10 points<\/span>)<\/span><\/div>\n

c.<\/span> <\/span>In another paragraph, share and explain the results of your observations, referencing<\/span>
the chart as needed; (<\/span>10 points<\/span>)<\/span><\/div>\n

d.<\/span> <\/span>And in a final paragraph, the conclusions of your observations, regarding what you think<\/span> the health and well-being of the animal may be. (<\/span>10 points<\/span>)<\/span><\/div>\n

2)<\/span> <\/span>After you have reported the above, provide a detailed paragraph or two of how the animals you<\/span> have observed will be impacted by human caused climate change by the year 2100 in their<\/span> original, native habitat, and what their habitat needs will be in order to remain a genetically<\/span> viable species. Extrapolate and apply here your findings from #1, to think through how the<\/span> observed behaviors may or may not be met in 2100 on a 2C warmer planet. Here you must use<\/span> two scientific studies\/reports in your analysis on the animal\u2019s habitat, and then the<\/span> Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change\u2019s April 2022 report to talk about climate predictions<\/span> (<\/span>5 points per use of sources, for 15 points; 15 points for overall discussion, for 30 points<\/span>).<\/span><\/div>\n

a.<\/span> <\/span>As you report on suggested habitat\/ecosystem needs from science and the 2<\/span>
reports\/studies you cite, use language and share some of the steps from the below<\/span>
graphics, to help analyze and discuss how those habitat needs and climate change<\/span>
impacts were hypothesized by scientific methods and findings: (10 points)<\/span>

3)<\/span> <\/span>Lastly, interrogate and share what the scientific method as articulated in #2, may be missing in<\/span> helping to understand the habitat needs of the animals you observed. i.e. what may science be<\/span> missing, to help humans understand the habitat needs of the animal\/s in question, and for<\/span> humans to protect those animals during climate change. Think here of I=PATV (Impact =<\/span> Population x Affluence x Technology x Values) and some of the cultural values around<\/span> conservation, of ethically valuing animals, and other cultural views of animals\/ecosystems we<\/span> have encountered in this course. Here you should utilize a minimum of 2 readings, videos,<\/span> documentaries, and\/or discussion prompts we covered throughout this course, that may be<\/span> needed to help protect these animals and that mechanistic science and the scientific method<\/span> are not able to address. Here you should also reference the above graphics on the scientific<\/span> method in your analysis of what is specifically missing from them\/the scientific method as you<\/span> answer this part.
