Pine Beetle Infestation in Colorado.
Lack of Awareness and Resolution
Ecological Restoration is the primary job that I would like to have one day. I chose Ecological Restoration and the continuing Pine Beetle Infestation in Colorado because this issue literally effects everyone, and everything directly, or indirectly. I also chose this topic because being in the outdoors is my true passion, and it's what I thrive off of. I love to help the environment, including all of the species of animals, and plants in any way that I can. Growing up I knew that my dream job, or career would include the Environment being my office.
Ecological Restoration is where people "restore" the environment. The Pine Beetle Epidemic in Colorado is being called one of the biggest issues in the West. Pine Beetles are rapidly killing off thousands upon thousands of Pine trees at a time. The restoration part of this comes in and tries to slow down this growing problem ,and restore damaged trees or replace dead ones with new baby trees. Not only can you restore the environment around you, but are protecting and preserving it as well. The growing problem is the lack of awareness, and the lack of support needed to help resolve this problem.
I understand what the topic is, and the general idea of what ill be doing, but only to an extent. I would like to stop scratching the surface of this issue, and dig deep into it to help resolve the Pine Beetle issue, and lack of awareness. I would like to learn how I can get more involved by volunteering, or actually finding a job where I can help the environment, and help resolve this issue.
