Endangered Species
   
 

As the world's human population continues to grow, available habitats and resources continue to dwindle for wildlife. According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, there are over 1,200 animals on the Endangered Species List. The good news is, there are many concerned and proactive individuals, like you, making minor adjustments to their daily routines to help protect global environments and save endangered species! In this issue, we'll learn about some endangered species and ways we can contribute to their continued survival.
