Using the resources provided, https://www.worldwildlife.org/species/directory?direction=desc&sort=extinction_status , your textbook, or other online resources, the students will investigate causes of endangerment and efforts being taken to conserve species and create an essay.

Your work should contain the following information.  

1. What is the common and scientific name of the animal?

2. Where does it live, and what is its natural habitat?

3. What does it eat? What is its role in the ecosystem?

4. Describe the features of the animal, and include a photo. Remember to give credit if you attach a photo to the location of the original photo (such as Wikipedia)

5. Describe the causes of endangerment.

6. Propose ways that the animal can be helped, include any laws or projects that are already in existence to help the animal.

Imagine that you want to convince others to donate to the cause or help the animal in some way. Treat it like a persuasive essay, your goal is to get people interested and to get them involved.
