The first stage in writing your paper is to make a list of questions that will enable you to research the topic. Your paper should answer these questions: What is the current genetic diversity of koalas?
How will this genetic diversity affect their long-term survival?
How many koalas currently exist in the wild?
How has the geographic range of koalas changed over time?
What do koalas need to survive (food, shelter, etc.)?
What adaptations do koalas have?
How do koalas reproduce?
How often do koalas mate, and how many offspring do they produce?
How do the reproductive habits of koalas affect their genetic diversity?
What factors should scientists consider when creating a plan to conserve the species?
Write down two additional questions you have about koalas that will help support your argument.
