The document discusses endangered animals and the causes of their endangerment, including hunting, poaching, and loss of habitat. Poachers like Waitimu hunt endangered animals because it provides income and feeds their families, as there is little other work. Solutions proposed include bans on harmful practices, captive breeding programs, ecotourism, habitat protection, and limits on hunting and fishing. The author argues that people need to stop overhunting to allow populations to recover.

1. Endangered Animals
By: Dahnae

2. Summary
My project will open the eyes of people
who think it wont matter if there's no more
exotic or extraordinary animals left in the
world. It will also shed a new a light on the
subject and show every one what its about
and how it can be stopped.

3. Cause
People who don’t care about the animals
and just keep hunting them, not really
noticing that its their fault that the animal is
going extinct.

4. Effect
If all endangered animals die off children
of the future will never see them. The
problem occurs when people get money
hungry and poach the animals for their
hide or natural resources.

5. Poacher’s point of view
Meet Waitimu which
means born of the
spear, he is a wildlife
hunter in Africa. He
poaches because it
makes good money
and he has to feed his
family. There is little
work in his village so
he has to do what he
has to do.

6. Solution
Bans on harmful chemicals and lead shot;
captive breeding programs; ecotourism to
promote people's awareness of living
animals; controls on noise pollution, limits
on over-fishing and over-hunting; limits on
exotic pet collecting; protection of habitats
from overdevelopment and misuse,
protection of food supplies, creation of
reserves.

7. My Solution
My solution to endangered species is
people need to take a brake on hunting
them and give them some time to
repopulate.

8. Timeline
• 1977-First plant species are listed as
endangered, San Clemente Island
broom
• 1979 Endangered Species Committee
meets in January
• 1979 In September, Congress passes
an appropriations bill
• 1981 Black-footed ferrets
rediscovered near Meeteetse,
Wyoming, ending fear that the
species was extinct.

9. North Europe
America Asia
Koala
Ibex

South

Giant Panda
Australia
Scarlet
Macaw
White Rhino

10. Personal Connection
This affects me because I love animals
and I HATE to see them die in vain. And
animals have no defense against humans
with guns except woods for cover. So if
you think about it people are murdering
defenseless animals.

11. Impact people
This issue doesn't have much impact on
people, except people of the future wont
be able to see the animals extinct. And
people who love animals will miss them.

12. Aid Organizations
Species Survival Plan (SSP) programs
have helped bring several endangered
species back from the brink, including
black-footed ferrets, California condors
and red wolves.

13. Conclusion
My project conclusion is you’ve seen both
sides of the story. Why the hunter hunted
and why the animal is endangered. You’ve
seen the solution to it all and yet people
still do it because they fail to listen and
under stand the concept.
