• An endangered animal is an animal under the threat of extinction

• Coral reefs are home to one quarter of marine life. They are killed by pollution and fertilizer

• There are only about 300 Siberian tigers left in the wild

• Polar bears are getting sick and dying because of warm weather

• More than half the rain forests have been cleared for timber, farmland, and also homes

I learned that there are more than 1,000 endangered animals on earth. I also learned humans caused the extinction of some animals like the giant lemur. The next thing I learned is Hawaii is the state with the most endangered plants and animals. Something else I learned is that its illegal to kill, harm, or take an endangered animal out of its habitat. Lastly I learned in 1973 they passed the endangered species act.

I can spread the word by putting ads in newspapers. I also can spread the word by putting signs in my neighborhood. Lastly I can spread the word by making a video on YouTube.

I pledge to only look not touch an animal. I also pledge to help an animal if its hurt or out of its habitat. The last thing I pledge to do is try my best to help all animals feel safe and secure.
