Extinct species A species of plant or animal that is no longer living

Endangered Species Can act as warning signs for us about problems in our environment If we look at the signs we may be able to fix it before we loose too much

Ways they become endangered Habitat loss Illegal killing/ Invasive Species Population and Resources Pollution/ Pesticides Climate Change Overexploitation

All living things, from mammals to plants, are connected and depend on each other for survival This means that not all endangered species are the big animals we think of It had been estimated that a disappearing plant can take with it up to 30 other species

Endangered species show is that our world may not be as healthy as we think

So why the change The use of DDT was noticed Caused bald eagles egg shells to thin out and brake DDT was used on farms as a pesticide

Who helps U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Manages over 500 refuges 90 million acres Conversation of endangered species, ecosystems, and natural diversity

What is being done 1973 the Endangered Species Act was passed Protect disappearing plant and animals from our ecosystems

More than 900 species of plant and animals in the U.S. are protected It is illegal to import, export, or sell animals and plants on the list

How can you help Visit and volunteer at local wildlife refuge or nature center Don’t buy illegally taken species Don’t by products made from threatened or endangered species
