Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I choose this article because I find a lot of interest in the environment and what going on with the environment. Mostly when it comes to protecting the environment is where I really care. I think most people should educate themselves on how we can protect the world/environment we live in.

The lead section does a good job at describing to main topic of environmental protection. It also has a brief overview of what caused the need for protection in the first place. The lead is missing some of the information that gives an overview of the major sections of the article. As far as content goes, the article has good relevant topics and doesn't focus too much on one topic more than others. Some of the content does need to be updated. For tone and balance the article is fairly neutral and wasn't bias. It was balanced fairly between topics as well. I took a look at a few of the sources and they seem reliable, they are somewhat resent and are peer reviewed. The organization the article is very well done. The writing is always professional and on topic. The imaging in the article are relevant and I like the only the author picked out, yet they are a little unorganized. Some picture represent countries yet they are in the wrong section of the article and don't correspond with the section being talked about. Something that stuck out to me on the talk page was a review by other person, they didn't like as though the article was fully on topic or relevant some of the time. Which was helpful to me because I was able to look back again and understand the prospective they were coming from. Overall the article is well written and they are a few things that could be fixed or even updated.
