Main Causes of Animal Endangerment

We are 4th & 5th graders at Edwards School in Vancouver, Canada. We are looking for a site we lost called “Endangered Animals around the World” and the BBC makes it.

Can you:
·  find this site
·  read the information about the eight animals AND
·  send us this site’s website address

Post:
· the main reasons why animals become endangered
· what kids can do to help

We’ll put your ideas on our website for other kids to read.

Thanks for your information!

    The website I found is
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/find_out/guides/endangered_animals_world
    I do not know how animals become endangered but the site says that you can help by supporting conservation organizations and adopt an animal at your local zoo which would pay for its keep.

    Their are many endangered animals.Like monkeys and other exotic animals.Cutting down trees and destroying wildlife is one of the main causes of animal endangerment , because if we destroy an animals home they will have no where to live. So people should conserve wildlife. And that would help a lot of animal species.

    the site I found was http://library.thinkquest.org/J0113216/ .The 8 endangered animals are Panda,Tiger,Asian Elephant,Gorillas,Polar Bear,Crocodile,Sea Turtle and,Snowy Owl.

    on the site I found had a link that said” What Can You Do To Help?”
    So I pressed the link and it gave me this 1. Educate yourself about endangered animals. Read books, check out web sites, watch videos, pay attention in science class,…

    2. Write letters to your state representatives or senators or the president to let them know you care about what happens to endangered animals.

    3. Teach other people about endangered animals.

    4. Don’t buy or wear wild animal products.

    5. Write to organizations to gain more information or to help support them. Here are a few of the organizations’ addresses:

    TO HELP YOU CAN RECYCLE, ADOPT A ANIMAL, DON’T BUY STUFF MADE FROM REAL ANIMAL SKINS OR FUR…Pollution,is one of the main reasons, were chopping down trees in the rain forests and the animals have no where togo.

    Dear 4th & 5th graders at Edwards School in Vancouver, Canada,
    Hay! guys, I think that I know now the site that you guys lost. It’s about the eight animals-right. Well, of what I found there was just only seven animals and they are endangered too. It’s about the facts of those seven animals that their kind of animals that their population are going down the people were killing them to use their skins for making expensive backpacks, shoes, and some people such as the Chinese people use the tiger’s skin for their traditional Chinese medicine. Also it’s not just for that there are more, to find out more just click this site. http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/static/guides/animals/animals.stm

    Sincerely,
    Jorge.

    The site is
    http://gorp.away.com/gorp/resource/us_national_park/ut_capit.htm.
    The main reasons why these animals are endangered animals is that people hunt them and people have taken up their land.
    what we can do to help is
    1. Educate yourself about endangered animals. Read books, check out web sites, watch videos, pay attention in science class,…

    2. Write letters to your state representatives or senators or the president to let them know you care about what happens to endangered animals.

    3. Teach other people about endangered animals.

    4. Don’t buy or wear wild animal products.

    5. Write to organizations to gain more information or to help support them. Here are a few of the organizations’ addresses:

    American Association of Zoological Parks & Aquariums

    This is the site address and the main reason animals are getting extinct is because people are killing them for making clothes and what we can do to help is recycle and try not to buy clothes that are made of animal skin.
