This assignment calls on you to:

- Explain how the problem arose, alluding to the drivers and pressures that impaired the natural capital’s sustainability and how that impairment impacts society;
- Note the solution(s) formulated or contemplated to solve the problem;
- Briefly summarize whether/how the solution seems to be succeeding or is likely succeed (this needs to be an issue where the problem-solver, e.g., local, state, federal entity has provided information); and,
