This document provides an overview of a unit on endangered species. It discusses how over 200 years, many Australian species have gone extinct due to human activity such as habitat destruction. Currently around 40 mammal species and hundreds of plant species are endangered. Students will learn about threatened local species and what can be done to protect them. The unit aims to understand how species become endangered and conservation strategies. Assessments include reflecting on a video about saving wildlife, creating an online poster about a species, and developing an audio story predicting an animal's future. The purpose is to educate students on protecting disappearing wildlife.
