You and your boss (the mayor of a city with about 300,000 residents) have just attended a lecture on endangered species protection and invasive species management in urban areas. After leaving the lectures, the Mayor turns to you and says, “I’ve got a speech to the city council next week, and I’ve been asked to talk about our parks and wilderness programs. I want you to give me a memo of policy ideas that I can use in my talk. All I need is about 2 pages – you know, some bullet points that explain the problems we could really affect, suggest some alternative ways we could intervene, and maybe pick a preferred intervention.” To write the memo you should use lectures and readings from your other Environmental Conservation classes, your personal knowledge, and any other outside sources you want. Since you have just been reading Bardach’s Practical Guide to Policy Analysis, you have some sense of how to proceed. There is a 1000-word absolute limit on this memo, which is about 2 single-spaced pages. To the degree possible your recommendations must be grounded in evidence, data, and well accepted theory, rather than opinion. It will also be guided by the values you and the mayor share. Document your sources in citations, if necessary. Citations do not count against your 1000-word limit. Be sure to format your paper in a way that makes your recommendations clear (e.g. – bullet points, tables, headings, etc.).
