Debate fever!

To the 108 and 308 intakes, this is the post you've all been waiting for. Your debate topic is:

Haha...not as dramatic as you expected it to be huh? Ok, so here are some of the links that I thought might just help you prepare. Feel free to use other resources but make sure all your facts are substantiated with evidence. All the best and happy preparing!

Endangered Species Lists

Here are the links of the 2 important websites that we talked about in class for the Application topic. The most interesting parts of the websites would be to actually look at the pictures of the different species.

http://www.cites.org/ (This is where you get the CITES Listings. Go to the photo gallery link on the right and you'll end up with an index with all the different species that are on the list. My favorite picture is the one below.)

http://www.iucnredlist.org/ (This is the link for the IUCN Red List. Click on Photo Gallery on the menu and you'll be able to access photos from the lists of previous years as well.)

Common name: Tomato Frog

Scientific name: Dyscophus antongilii

CITES listing: Appendix I (22/10/1987)
