Environmental Issues
  1. Examine the politics of CITES listing and reservations process
  2. With other students examine a particular species for which one or more states have submitted reservations using a site such as Species+ (https://www.speciesplus.net/). Create a class wiki that presents your findings. Is there a pattern to the reservations?
  3. Research instances of reservations or pullouts from international environmental protection regimes like the Kyoto Protocol. Choose a country and explain why they took such a position. Prepare a multimedia presentation to share with your classmates.
