Endangered AnimalsBy: Frankie D, Margie D and Allison R

Human Impact is bigger than you think...

As humans, the dominant species on earth, we often take little time to think about the thousands of others species we share the earth with. Human industry has a huge impact on the environment, and on the organisms living around us.

So let's take a look at some affected animals...

Everyday we carelessly endanger defenseless animals

Why It Matters!Personally, I love animals. And I think

they should be rewarded for not being people. I hate people.

The CauseThe cause of endangered animals is loss

of habitat, loss of genetic variation, vulnerable species (population reduction and geographic range), population unable to expand and population size.

The ProblemThe problem that we are dealing with are

endangered animals. They are becoming endangered because we are taking away their natural environment to expand ours.

Endangered Animal List for 2013• Mountain Gorilla• Leatherback Sea Turtle• Northern White Rhinoceros• California Condor• Brown Spider Monkey• Red Wolf• Chinese Alligator• Snow Leopard• Giant Panda• Blue Whale• Tasmanian Devil• Bonobo• These are just some of the many animals that are

endangered

world)

Environmental ImpactWe depend on the cycle of life. Like trees

making oxygen for us, and us making carbon for trees. Human impact is affecting the survival of certain species that are important to keep the circle of life going!

Possible Outcomes...• One is that the endangered

animals/species become extinct. • The second possible outcome is that

the species survives.

Other human interferencesHuman actions such as deforestation,

construction, and development are part of what hurts endangered animals.

It's not only things like hunting animals, we can endanger them by destroying their habitats.

Ways we can help...• Donating money to organizations who are

dedicated to help animals• Protect natural habitats such as national

parks, natural reserves, and build homes for animals

• Conserve water• Compost all food to decrease the use of

chemical fertilizers• Carpool or ride bike• Recycle• Buy organic foods

Impact on Biogeochemical CyclesThe problem of endangered animals

impacts biogeochemical cycles because animals are usually a key part in these cycles, they transport the key component, for example water, to various locations, thus spreading out the cycle and the nutrients needed, without this spreading of nutrients, ecosystems will not get the supplies and support needed to survive and will die out, leaving the earth a barren, lifeless, wasteland floating through space.
