Fragile Wilderness: Attention Year 13!

Generalisation that this is based upon:
Wilderness environments contain landforms & ecosystems of outstanding global importance, and sometimes unique indigenous lifestyles. Such features may be fragile & be venerable to exploitation and, possibly irreparable damage.
The key questions are:
What is the significance of wilderness areas?
To what extent do these areas present features that are worth protecting?
The boards guidance to students in compiling a research file is:
Identify current rates of destruction of wilderness areas e.g. Indonesian forests, to what extent might these represent features worth protecting & why? Whose value systems might promote their protection or destruction?
Identify physical significance and ecological value of some wilderness areas e.g. glaciated landscapes, Antarctic ice caps, hot deserts and ecology.
Identify indigenous lifestyles in wilderness areas, assessing their value.

Its time to get serious about this! You have SOME stuff on all of this, however it now needs to be developed in more depth, developing a sense of research in readiness for your exam.This is where, if you look back a year, the value of students being able to post to the blog & share some of their research, really shows.On Friday can we agree to contribute a specific research area to the blog? I pledge a case study of indigenous people! By next Friday at the VERY latest! Please publish your pledge on the blog by the end of Friday 11th Jan!
