2/5 Homework Response A

Braun, D. (2010, Nov 18). Can a thousand breeding females stave off tiger extinction in the wild?. Retrieved from http://newswatch.nationalgeographic.com/2010/11/18/tiger_extinction_staved_off_by_last_thousand_
females/
Summarize: The main point of this article is to show how people are trying to figure out a way for people to help save tigers using the females left of the species to breed. It also provides people with facts that they should know about tigers and different organisations effort's to help save them.
Asses: This source is very useful because it provides the basic information i will need to know about tigers without going in to too much detail and will help provide a start for better research. Some might say that it could be biased but i don't think it is to the point were it won't be useful. National Geographic has been around for a very long time helping to inform people of what is going on with the environment. This specific article states that tigers are being "over-hunted" realizing that of course animals will be hunted but it comes to a point where it needs to stop.
Reflect: I will use this source for my project because it has been very helpful in my decision to where i should start research and gave me more information on the topic. It has also given me different ideas as to where my research my lead and ways i can make my project more in depth and detailed.

Summarize: The main point about this article is how Siberian tigers, one of the most endangered subspecies, are found more in captivity than in the wild for entertainment purposes and how important it is to be able to breed these tigers and draw them farther away from extinction. 
Asses: I feel again that this is a reliable source because it again comes from a magazine that's purpose is to inform its audience about problems in our world affecting the environment. This article seems to be a little biased though but i feel for my topic a little bias in the right direction can be more useful than it is harmful. .
Reflect: I may use this as an article for my project but i am not fully sure yet. It is helpful because it provides information on a specific subspecies and will help me better narrow down my topic where it needs to be.
