Post a 200- to 300-word response to the following problems: 

• What role, if any, do you think people should play in preserving those regions threatened by human encroachment? 
• How should the interests of competing groups be balanced? 

ex: Drilling in the Arctic-environmental groups oppose the plan on the grounds of the destruction to the habitat; those in favor argue that tapping into the oil there would be good for the economy and decrease reliance on foreign oil. 

• What about when the habitat is not within the U.S. borders? Many international conservation groups are working to save the rainforest-what rights do people have to interfere with how another sovereign nation chooses to manage its lands?
