Sample Essays 1. Discuss 3 points made by David Suzuki in the video we watched. 2. What would you say to someone who feels all the coyotes that live near their home should be shot? Support your answer by defining a "keystone predator (species)". Use Michael Soule's research on the importance of coyotes to chaparral and coastal sage scrub as an example (how they shape community structure). 3. What are the main points of the movie “America’s Endangered Species, Don’t Say Goodbye.” !ti si sihT
