Bat Conservation International's My White Paper

Improved Essays
Introduction
In fulfillment of my classroom commitments, I am offering to write a white paper to Cullen Geiselman of Bat Conservation International in regards to a technology discovered in 2013. This white paper will be written under the guidelines of my English 3302 studies along with Technical Communications by Paul Anderson. The technology chosen would aid the organization in many of its goals regarding bat conservation. A volatile organic chemical (VOC) derived from bacteria is found to hinder white-nose syndrome fungus growth in bat colonies across America. These VOCs will be the main focus of my white paper. This technology must be introduced to the organization I chose because they are best fit to utilize it. The Bat Conservation International’s

Geiselman with in-depth research of the helpful volatile organic chemicals she would otherwise not be able to do herself as a high-ranking official in many organizations and committees related to bats. The research I will do in Tarleton’s library will use as many resources as possible to provide a spectrum of information to the white paper’s audience. The white paper will also discuss how the technology has helped researchers in their own goals, and how implementing their research will help Dr. Geiselman’s organization fulfill its goals. The discovery of this technology is new and tests are still underway to analyze the best way to spread the VOCs. The white paper strives to educate the Bat Conservation International on this recent technology. Bat survival depends on research, knowledge and implementation of beneficial technology. It can be difficult to know what VOCs are and what they are capable of without taking the time to research them beforehand. A similar problem is that individual research is too lengthy for neither Dr. Geiselman nor I. I plan to serve as the intermediary between the scientists conducting research and Bat Conservation International. In analyzing the potential of the technology, I am providing Dr. Geiselman with all the information she needs to know to come to a conclusion on her decision to use the technology for her organization’s

    I chose to investigate the environmental impact of gypsy moths because I have personally had experience cleaning up after these pests in northern Ohio and I know that they are becoming an issue in other parts of Ohio as well. I was able to witness some of the damage they have done while removing defoliated trees in Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Gypsy moths are a non-native, invasive species that, over the past decade, have been coming into the state from Pennsylvania and Michigan. The moth undergoes a complete metamorphosis and while a caterpillar it has the ability to feed on over three hundred species of trees and shrubs and cause serious damage and defoliation. The moth’s preference for oak, make the oak tree particularly at risk because the caterpillars favor it and a tree can typically only withstand two years of defoliation before the damage is permanent or results in the death of the tree.…

    The Wildlife Services has been around for a very long time, death has been following them for over 100 years. “Animal Damage Control [now Wildlife Services] began in 1886… it began killing predators in 1914 and has continued to do so ever since” (“USDA’s War”).

    Michelle tries to enlighten the reader about these issues happening but also tries to persuade the readers to become active in fixing this world-wide issue occurring. It is said from Tim Male, vice president of at Defenders of Wildlife: “Politically controversial species attract more funding, as do species in heavily studied places: ‘We live in a world of unconscious triage.” Most animals we see today will end up disappearing just because of the accomplishment of not being able to pay for certain developments. Since each method favors certain priorities, when the computer method became about, it made more sense due to all of these methods not working for all species. These methods were working and capable of doing its job, but did not work for every specie roaming the earth.…
