<\/a><\/p>\nWolves are an excellent subject for biological study as well as a useful tool for examining the intricate relationship between humans and the environment.\u00a0 Though there are dozens of misconceptions about wolves, I have learned (as will you) that some of the most diverse perspectives on the wolf debate are entirely valid.\u00a0 Being able to understand the perspectives of all sides of an issue will greatly enhance the ability for you to make educated decisions on their future actions.<\/p>\n
Human beings have the greatest impact on their environment out of any other species on the planet.\u00a0 It is essential for your generation to understand how your actions and decisions are affecting the world around you.\u00a0 Ecological, social, economic, political, and environmental implications are seen in the largest and smallest decisions in our daily lives.\u00a0 Pairing this wildlife module with a service volunteer project with the Coalition for the Upper South Platte will place you directly into a habitat where many wildlife species currently live, and some, such as the wolf, once lived and could one day return.\u00a0 The activity you participate in will help to show you first-hand the extent human decisions and mentalities have on the environment.\u00a0 You will be led closer to making personal opinions about whether or not human actions on the environment are positive, negative, or somewhere in between.<\/p>\n
