Write two letters to the editor of your local newspaper.
The first letter must be from the standpoint of a conservationist and the second one must be from the standpoint of a preservationist.
Include in one of the letters a description of how the four steps of environmental risk assessment might be used to evaluate the risks of development of your resource.
Each letter must be 350- to 700-words each.

Dear local newspaper editor,
I am writing you this letter to inform you of a gigantic dilemma we as human beings living on earth have to face.

Humans that is how, there is a movement to turn that land into spots for drilling and mining oils and other natural resources that if we act upon will bring upon the destruction of one of the country’s last true eco systems. The wild animals that roam, hunt, and live there are at risk as well as all the vegetative life. If you look at the four steps of environmental risk assessment you will find that in no way we should develop on this land to acquire natural resources. There is just too much to lose, how can we bring it to ourselves to destroy such a beautiful and untouched piece of nature when there are
