AND EFFECTS OF
ANIMALS BECOMING
ENDANGERED?
BY: The Animal Saviors
(Gianna, Alexis, Colin, Joshua)
CONJECTURE
We think most animals are becoming endangered
because people are overhunting them for their skin,
fur, and meat also there are lots of predators that
could kill and eat them
THE 3 MAIN REASONS OF ANIMALS
BECOMING ENDANGERED
• Over hunting: killing to much of that species
• Deforestation: cutting down trees witch causes loss of animal habitat
• Pollution (littering): throwing trash into places like, oceans, woods, etc.
SEA TURTLE
• Pollution can weaken a sea turtles immune system
• Their habitat is destroyed by costal development (sea floor and beach)
• Eggs are poached by people for food or oil
• They get stuck in fishing nets commonly
• Their over hunted by mostly fishermen
RED WOLF
• 75-100 left in the wild in the year 2000
• Farmers and ranchers almost eliminated the red wolf
• The cause of their endangered stage is overhunting
• In the 1980s fewer than 20 red wolves were put to breed in captivity
• Now there are more than 100 red wolves in the wild!
FLORIDA PANTHER
• Florida panthers had to move from state to state because there habitats
were being destroyed by loggers
• There are only 100-160 Florida panthers left in the wild
• They live in the swamps and forests of Florida
• Males live alone (except when mating)
PANDA
• There’s only about 1,000 – 2,000 Pandas living in the wild
• People are destroying their habitat
• Pandas are being hunted for their silky fur and more
• A deadly virus is threating Pandas with extinction
• Their losing access to their food, bamboo
THIS IS OUR ENDANGERD ANIMAL VIDEO
WE LEARNED…
Most endangered animals are protected by laws. We also found out the
animals we thought that were not endangered are endangered. Our
animals even had surprising tactics to help them survive. That is what all of
us have learned from our research.
CONCLUSION
To conclude, endangered animals are being overhunted or other causes.
New laws are being set to help the endangered animals to survive and
repopulate and just be free!
