This project involves researching and writing a scholarly essay on environmental history between 1500 to 2000 words. The essay should provide an overview of how the environment and human interaction with the natural world has changed over time. It needs to demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the topic drawing from credible academic sources. Key themes to cover include major environmental impacts from industrialization and urbanization, the conservation movement, impacts of agriculture and key periods of environmental policy development. Strong research and referencing skills are required to back up any arguments or assertions made. The writing must be of a high academic standard with a clear thesis statement, well-structured paragraphs and a formal writing style using complex vocabulary appropriately. An engaging introduction and conclusion should bookend the main discussion. Upon completion, the draft will be edited and may require revisions based on feedback before a final version is delivered.
