Option 1

Article title Deforestation in Central America
Article Evaluation: This is an article that has been pretty well developed, but seems to be missing information in a few key areas. My plan is to provide further details and information about logging and deforestation in general. Currently, there is a big section on deforestation as it is related to narcotics. However, I would like to add information about deforestation for other purposes like farming.

Option 2

Article title Geography of Costa Rica
Article Evaluation: This article provides a decent overview of the geography of Costa Rica. However, it is lacking in a lot of places. I would like to further develop its natural resources section. Right now, it only talks about hydropower, but I know that Costa Rica has other natural resources. I want to provide a better overview of the resources the country has.

Option 3

Article title Water resources management in Colombia
Article Evaluation: This article provides a broad overview of the way water resources are managed in Colombia. One section that could use some additional information is the one focused on hydropower. There are no citations listed for this section which makes it hard to back up the information that is provided. I would like to go through and add strong citations to some of the ideas that have been mentioned throughout the section.
