Middle Schoolers at the JGEMS charter school in Salem, OR are seeking feedback from conservation biologists and managers on management plans they are writing on threatened and endangered species. They are looking for people who can comment on 4 species: red pandas, hawksbill sea turtles, pangolins and orcas. If you have expertise with any of these species, their ecosystems, or similar species and would be willing to donate a couple hours of your time reviewing these students' work, please contact me at brouw...@gmail.com <mailto:brouw...@gmail.com>
Below is additional information on the project and school. JGEMS (https://sites.google.com/a/salkeiz.k12.or.us/jgems/about; The Jane Goodall Environmental Middle School) is an environment- and conservation-focused charter Middle School in Salem Oregon. In 8th grade the students' capstone project is to research and write a conservation management plan for a threatened or endangered species. As part of the process students submit their work for review by conservation scientists and managers. The time commitment should be relatively small. My niece went to this school and my brother served on their board. Last year I read my niece's report, which was about 10 pages, provided comments on the document, and sent an email with feedback. I'd be happy to provide more information and send an example of what the students produce. Nathan L.
