Hello, my name is Mariana Schenck. I am a returning student at Santa Rosa Junior College. Currently, I am taking courses to supplement my skill set. I am taking this class because I am unfamiliar with web development, which is a beneficial skill set. My knowledge about computer programs is limited, but through this class, I learned to cut videos and have slowly been trying to gain familiarity with phoenix code editor. The lost challenging element of the class has been CSS style sheets and using new computer programs. My reasons for picking the beaver originated from reading about the fur industry. I wanted to include limited information on the fur industry's impacts on beavers and early relocation efforts. The most fascinating thing I learned about the animal was the beaver repopulation drops that occurred through the 20s-40s.
Most of the information comes directly from the Wikipedia article “The North American beaver. “All images except for the logo are sourced from two Wikipedia articles, one titled “Beaver.” And the other 'The North American beaver.” On the index page, the information provided by the header Early Threats of Extinction and Beaver Relocation and Reintroduction comes from The Occidental Arts and Ecology Center WATER Institute, The Historic Range of Beaver in the North Coast of California: A Review of the Evidence, (Occidental, CA: The Occidental Arts and Ecology Center WATER Institute, 2013), 5, https://oaec.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Historic-Range-Of-Beaver-N-Coast-CA.pdf. “Passing Of The Beaver The Industrious Little Animal Is Now Almost Extinct” Los Angeles Herald, October 26,1901.
