Respond to E. O. Wilson's proposed priorities for protecting the world's remaining ecosystems and species. Do they seem appropriate and possible? Should they be put in place? Who should be in charge of overseeing their implementation?
What will be an ideal response?
Wilson's proposal seems reasonable and doable until one considers who would be put in charge of accomplishing the tasks. There seems to be considerable distrust of and disillusionment with government. This may well be intensified by the idea of some supra-governmental agency, as from the United Nations. The result may be an acceptance of the proposals without any notion of how to get them accomplished. The intent, then, is to begin the process of thinking how that might come to pass.
