Endangered Species Fish and Wildlife Resources

 Give students a few minutes to list endangered/threatened/extinct species in North America and/or Idaho  Ask students: Are most of these species fish, reptiles, birds or mammals? How about plants? What kinds of species seem to get the most attention? Why might that be? Teacher-Led Activity— Endangered Species

Students will be able to…  Define wildlife and related terms  Discuss various endangered species

What is Wildlife?

What is wildlife?  Endangered Species Act (1966): Any member of the Animal Kingdom.  Generally, “wildlife” includes mammals, birds, and fish.  Is wildlife a renewable resource?

 Passenger pigeon—extinct in 1914  Carolina parakeet—extinct in 1918  Extinction—Complete disappearance of a species from earth. What are the differences between extinct, endangered, and threatened species of wildlife?

 Functionally extinct Very few breeding pairs population cannot sustain itself South China tiger— < 20 individuals in wild Ivory-billed woodpecker?? What are the differences between extinct, endangered, and threatened species of wildlife?

 Sockeye salmon—endangered in ID, threatened in WA  Endangered A species with very few individuals May soon go extinct What are the differences between extinct, endangered, and threatened species of wildlife?

 Canada lynx—threatened  Threatened A species abundant in most of its natural range With declining numbers it may be vulnerable to extinction What are the differences between extinct, endangered, and threatened species of wildlife?

 Bald eagle—delisted in 2007, threatened in some areas  Gray wolf—delisted in 2009, threatened in MN  Delisted—removal from the Endangered Species List Different populations of a species can have different statuses What are delisted species of wildlife?

Review  Can you define wildlife?  Please explain differences between extinct, threatened, and endangered species of wildlife.  Can you discuss various endangered species?

 Read “The Endangered Species Act—Protecting Marine Resources” factsheet  Answer the following questions What is the purpose of the ESA? How many species are listed under the ESA? What is a “take?” Who enforces the ESA? What is a “sentinel” species? Homework: What is the ESA?
