Communicating with various stakeholders is a critical component of managing a disease outbreak. Ineffectual communication between stakeholders and the outbreak management team can have severe consequences that can influence the success of the outbreak management strategy. For example, when CWD was discovered in 2002 in Wisconsin poor communication between the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and stakeholders greatly hindered the disease management efforts and had lasting negative…

of course, it doesn’t come right out and say it. I think the second passage, “Wolf Family Values” is the article I am picking that has more information about the wolves. Why? You may ask is because, the first article, “Scared to Death” has about the elk and what happens when the wolf population came back. The second text is more about the wolves, and they are all about. “Once upon a time, folklore shaped our thinking about wolves. It was only in the past two decades that biologists have started…

social life is not necessarily having a conversation with a friend or two. It is getting out of the house and having fun, being active, and being creative with other people you enjoy being around. For my agency paper I visited the Senior Center of Elk Grove. Although it was stated in the prompt that it was my job to sit in the waiting room and observe for 15 minutes, I instead took a tour. Unfortunately all of the events held that day were over so there was no activity going on in the center.…

to the Pacific Ocean. They first spotted the Pacific Ocean on November 7, 1805, and they arrived two weeks later. The Corps faced a bitter winter for the second time. Lack of food for the winter was a major problem as the elk was their main food source but unfortunately the elk had retreated to the mountains. The crew was also too poor to purchase food from the neighboring tribes. On November 4, 1805, the crew voted whether or not to camp near the south side of the Columbia River for the…

Reading the entire path I can honestly say that I like most of them, but the one catches my interest is “The Path of Jesus of Nazareth” because out of them all, he’s unique, mysterious. He was the only one who never wrote down his teaching. His followers document his wisdom, stories, and healing practices in a collection known as the Holy Bible. The Path of Carl Jung: Carl Jung believed that modern men and women’s inability to get in touch with their inner selves provided fertile ground for…

Company in the 1800s. The park is located in the Eastern slopes of the Rockies, in Western Alberta. Jasper has very diverse ecosystems and landforms, consisting of valleys, mountains, glaciers, forests, alpine meadows and wild rivers. Populations of elk, bighorn sheep, mule deer and other predators can be seen roaming throughout the park, as you explore the region. Being a large park, Jasper has one of the largest trail systems in Canada, with around 1000 km of biking and multi-use trails. As…

Keystone species are the main primary driver for diversity. Keystone species are species on which other species in an ecosystem largely depend, such that if it were removed the ecosystem would change drastically. They cause biodiversity for 3 reasons. First, the keystone species causes the different animals from all around that area to come to where the keystone species is located because the keystone species has what the other species need to survive, a working ecosystem . These animals then…

John says. As they head deep into the forest hours go by and they all get bored out of there minds. As they walk up this rough shagged mountain they encounter they see some elk. These elk are within 30 feet and they don’t look happy. “Hey let's go this way” Henry whispers. Pointing left of the elk. As they walk away the elk slowly fade away. They then get to the top of the mountain where the see the beautiful…

How would someone describe the snowy mountains of Yellowstone National Park, Montana? Everything is covered in snow, the white frosted ground crunching underneath the boots of people. Every tree is covered in layers of snow, an avalanche happening every time the branches slightly swayed. Buffalo would roam around like cattle would on a farm. Everything is frozen, turning the fingers and faces of young and old a bright red. The hot springs and geysers showering mist on the nearby flora covering…

prey on species everything will be perfect in the ecosystem. However, Edwin Wollert in his article on the eradication of wolves proves that this is false. One example is that people like seeing the elk and bison, so park managers kill off wolves and other animals that prey on elk and bison. But then the elk increased in such high numbers, due to not being hunted by wolves, that they consumed all the vegetation they could reach, including the trees used by beavers. The beavers were the ones…
