Endangered / Extinct Species



Endangered Species Info----“Help save the …..”

You are a wildlife activist creating an NGO to voice your concern for a species or (group of sub species if applicable). It can be any plant or animal that is either on the IUCN Red List or US Fish and Wildlife endangered or threatened species list. Check the board to make sure there are no duplicates.

You are to make a professional table top presentation board displaying information to educate others.

These are due Wednesday Oct 26th and will be presented Friday October 28th during lunches.

Things you must have on display:

1. Species’ (or sub species’ ) common name(s) and scientific name(s)

2. Create an NGO name, mission, slogan and a logo. --Example[pic]Protecting species contributes to a thriving, healthy planet. Saving wildlife is at the core of WWF’s mission.

3. Brief information on its biology – feeding, breeding (number of offspring), and special living habits.

4. Historical and current population numbers

5. Maps of historical range and current range

6. Habitat description and locations

7. Describe threats or causes that are driving the population to extinction - HIPPCO

8. Give simple explanation of the Endangered Species Act or CITES or both if needed.

9. Explain how the average person can help

10. Pictures to sell your cause – good pics on animal and sad pics to show effects of threats to extinction, within habitat

11. Create a petition to gather at least 20 signatures and possible money collection to donate funds. The team that gathers the most signatures and /or the most money will receive an award. The key is how will you stand out from the others. Props, handouts, rewards, skits, ??? (within reason).

12. Document at least 4 sources on back of board.

13. Qr code – link to real NGO that helps your organism

Be familiar enough with your species that you could discuss questions from others. This is a lot of info, so most important info to help preserve the organism should have the greatest attention and standout the most on your display.
