Beyond Words, Chapter "Ebony and Ivory" Reflection
In a few words (no more than two sentences), summarize Safina's overall message in this passage.
Who seems to be Safina's intended audience? Based on what evidence (quote from the text)? How would you describe the intended audience's attitude toward Safina's message?
To whom is Safina's message not intended? Based on what evidence (quote from the text)?
Who would disagree with Safina's message but still care about the survival of the African elephant? In other words, who would disagree with his approach but sympathize with the cause?
IMPORTANT: The purpose of this exercise is to think critically about those who would disagree with Safina's argument other than the "obvious" opponents (that is, those who antagonize animals). Two groups of people may care about the survival of the African elephant, but they may disagree on the best method/approach to procure the conservation of this species.
Do research to provide specific examples! Go online, find out which are the varying perspectives on this topic. What are the alternative methods/approaches proposed by wildlife conservationists? Safina's proposed solution is quite extreme, would others agree with him
