Many people are not aware there is a problem.  You can help by becoming  more knowledgeable of  the issues, and informing others. You can make a difference!  Your task is to become an expert on one of the animals on the Endangered Species List, by doing some research on the Web .  You will then use your expertise to inform others of this problem by either Writing a report or doing an Oral Presentation.  Good luck and good researching!
