What animals will live in the next millennium?

Currently, there are over 24,000 species that are endangered or threatened by human activities. Unless we do something quickly, they will disappear forever. Without them, Earth’s ecosystem may very well crumble.

We are going to visit the website ES2000 Endangered Species of the Next Millennium.  This website is going to provide you with links to information about definition, causes, laws, and images.

Your task, explore the website with the following questions in mind:

• What is today’s current situation with endangered animals?  How can it affect you?  What can you do?

• Why are animals becoming endangered?  Why is this happening directly and indirectly?

• How can we help?  How is the government and other organizations trying to help?

Write a comment in the space provided below including details from the websites you visited through the links above.  Make sure you include facts, not only your opinions.
