A: List the major ideas, concepts or key points- point by point
C: Write a reaction paragraph to the article stating your own thoughts on the topic, using specific citations from the article to support your views Before reading this article I had the conception that everyone in the planet or at least the U.S. knew what biodiversity meant. However after reading this article, I learned that only about 30% of Americans actually know the definition for the word biodiversity. Knowing biodiversity and conservation, I can see how hotly debated this issue is. Economically conservation of biodiversity can lead to an increase economy from tourism. Certain ecosystems can also protect humans from harm from things such as hurricanes.
