What is an Endangered Species?

A species that is at risk of extinction A species with a small or declining population, or a very small range. What is an endangered species? Thylacine

What is a Conservation Status? The thylacine is Extinct Least Endangered Most Endangered (Extinct) The little spotted kiwi is Near Threatened The African elephant is Vulnerable The green turtle is Endangered The black rhino is Critically Endangered

Why are species endangered? African penguinsSiamangGolden-crowned sifaka HuntingOver-fishingInvasive species Cape fox Southern bluefin tunaKakapo PollutionPet tradeHabitat loss

Where are they found?

NOW! When is it happening?

What is being done? Scientists study species in the wild using –Radio tracking collars –Ringing AardvarkKemp’s ridley turtleNorthern harrier

What is being done? Protect remaining populations Inform the public Black rhino Greater bilby Black-necked crane

What is being done? Captive breeding programmes Reintroductions to the wild Giant pandaScimitar-horned oryx Wattled crane

A Success Story!! This is the Antiguan racer. It was once thought to be the most endangered snake in the world. Thanks to captive breeding, re-introductions and the removal of rats, numbers are now increasing again.

How can you help? Be careful with your litter –litter pick your playground Recycle –recycling one tonne of paper can save 17 trees! Spread the word & Get involved!! –volunteer to take part in a local wildlife survey Magellanic oystercatcher Green turtle White stork

Activity Sorting Endangered Species Everyone will be given an Endangered Species card. Read through your card and decide what is the biggest threat to your species (habitat destruction, hunting etc). Place your species in the right ‘threat group’ then compare your card with the others in the same group.
