The topic of my research paper will be on biodiversity. Biodiversity is the diverse environment in which the animals, plants, and species live in as one. I will cover why it is important, who is affected by it, the extinction of species, and what can be done to protect it. This paper will be addressed to everyone and anyone. People will be able to understand the importance of this topic and will hopefully be encouraged to take action.
A few of my sources are listed below
Sources:
1) Conservation International: This site gives a brief explanation on the issues of biodiversity. They tell you how you can act toward helping the environment and even allows you to talk to their scientists. They also have petitions you can sign and accept donations. You can also receive the latest news on these issues and the efforts that are being used to help stop them. Here are some of their related links, that I will be using: Biodiversity Hotspots: This site lists many biodiversity hotspots from all around the world. They list what the area is known for, the human impact on the area, the plants and animals that are being threatened there, and a list of protected areas. Investigate biodiversity: This site tells you how you can help and how to apply for a career with them.
2) US Aid: This site talks about what biodiversity is and the importance of conserving it. They talk about climate change, pollution, and other environmental issues. They also list the locations of their work and their programs, as well as how to obtain a career with them.
3) The UNDP: The UNDP gives a detailed explanation as to what biodiversity is. They also explain why it is important and who is affected by it. They talk about the crisis of biodiversity and contain useful resources as well. They also share their practices and cover biotechnology and conservations.

Hey Emily,
Seems like you have done sufficient research thus far to cover a 10-12 paper research project. The sources that you are considering using appear to have plenty of useful information that you will need for a good paper.
I do however, have one suggestion....you might want to give us readers to your blog a little more information about what exactly is biodiversity. I know you're doing a paper on it, but I really have no clue as to what biodiversity is and reading your blog this week I still have no clue as to what it actually is.
All in all, it looks like you're on the right track to a very interesting and informative paper.
Emily I think that the topic you chose is a huge topic but you have managed to specify what is exactly you want to write about. For me, this topic is really important to write about since there are persons who do not know anything about biodiversity and how they are being affected. I think this topic brings you a lot of information and you can make an interesting, and nice paper out of this topic. There are alot of links where you can get informataion from. The links you chose are very very good. I like the first one since it explain in more detail everything about your topic and what your focusing in. The other links are aslo good because they have information such as what we can do to help and explain more about the issue. I really enjoy your topic and the links you have. NICE WORK!!
I think the topic you chose is great. Due to forest fires, ice caps melting, and such, biodiversity is decreasing, and it's important to point out the species at risk.
You've also picked some fantastic websites that I really think will help you write your paper.
Good Luck :]
Can't do the whole of biodiversity--way too big a topic. decide on a hotspot/community and focus on that.
