Biomes and Diversity

As you have learned in the readings, extinction is a natural selection process. You have also read that humans are often responsible for accelerating this process. Using at least two scholarly or reputable resources and your textbook, address whether or not we as humans should be concerned with the extinction rate. Additionally, discuss whether or not humans should strive to preserve representative samples of all biomes on the planet. Before beginning your discussion, watch the video “How to find scholarly articles,” which defines the difference between scholarly, reputable, and non-reputable resources.

Your initial post should be at least 200 or more words in length
