There are many reasons animals are endanged, most of the reasons is destruction of habitat. 2. Distruction of habitat would be like polluted habitats 3. We can protect endanged species by NOT distroying their habitat 4. Also deforestation, farming, over-grazing and changing the habitat's in general are ways we make animals endanged 5.we can also recycle and conserve some things to help 6. pat attention and slow down when driving 7.To help some of the endanged species people can make room for them by building some shelter and protecting there habitat's 8.other reasons the animals are disapering is because some people hunt them 9. recently there was a man that was sentenced to a week in jail because he had shot a Lynx. he thought he was "shooting a coyote" 10. some stricter punishments that i think should happen are more time in jail, helping to make the animal that was hunted's habitat better, having hunting license taken away for a couple of mounths and no hunting in that spot for a couple of years 11. There are losing more than 5000 species a year and maybe more to extiction, some people say that we are losing 20 or so species a day. 12. some people also say that we are losing about three species per hour but they are unable to offer evidence on this statment. 13. There is also canned hunting, which is illegal, canned hunting is hunting semi tame animals. If this is illegel then i think that hunting or shooting endangered animals should also be illegal. 14.why protect endangered species? well some of the endangered species help us, believe it or not. Some help with medication. 15. 40% of most medication contains some help from the endanged species. 16. These endangered species also help agricultural because some plants are endangered. 17. There are an estimated 80,000 edible plants in the world 18. humans depend on 20 of these including corn and wheat to make food 19.they help ecological because plants and animals are the foundation of our ecosystem's, humans depend on ecosystems such as coastal estuaries, prairie grasslands, and ancient forests to purify their air, clean their water, and supply them with food 20. When species become endangered, it shows that the health of these vital ecosystems are beginning to unravel.**

" protecting endangered species." //htpp//:www.tc.umn.edu/~devo0028/laws.htm //12/07/09: Print//. **1.There are penalties for killing certain wild life and endanged animals, some of which include 2. __The Migratory Bird Treaty Act__- passed in 1918, provides protection for migratory birds. Feathers or other parts, nests, eggs, and products made from migratory birds are also covered by the Act 3. some of the punishments for killing these birds are being fined up to $5,000 and $10,000 respectively, and may face up to six months imprisonment for misdemeanor violations of the Act.Which may result in fines of up to $250,000 for individuals, $500,000 for organizations, and up to two years imprisonment. __4. The Endangered Species Act__- Passed in 1973, relooked at in 1988, (ESA) regulates a wide range of activities affecting plants and animals designated as endangered or threatened. 5. some punishments for the people who hunt, trap, kill, or injure would be fines of up to $100,000 and one year imprisonment, Organizations found in violation may be fined up to $200,000. 6. Alot of people already know about the eagle, it is so endangered that it had to have an act. __7. The Eagle Protection Act__- began in 1940 with the passage of the Eagle Protection Act. 8. which was later amended to include the Golden Eagle, the Act makes it unlawful to import, export, take, sell, purchase, or barter any Bald Eagle or Golden Eagle, their parts, products, nests, or eggs. 9. some punishments for those who harm any eagle would be; fines of up to $100,000 for individuals and $200,000 for organizations and one year's imprisonment. Fines of up to $250,000 and $500,000 for individuals and organizations, respectively, may result from felony violations. __10.11. The Wild Bird Conservation Act__- law prohibited the import of all CITES-listed-birds except for those that were approved on a list either by country of origin or wild-caught birds or by specific captive breeding facilities. 12. punishments for those who harm the wild birds would be; Criminal violations- be fined, or imprisoned for not more than two years, or both. Civil violations- be fined not more than $25,000 13. The eagle act must have been very important because they had two make an addition to that chart, they had the Bald Eagle they had to add the Golden Eagle 14. There should be a seperate act for wolves, this should be because they population of wolves has decreased majorly. Pups(baby wolves) are also dying with the populetion of wolves in general 15. there should also be a seperate act for Lynx because more and more people has killed Lynx, they are on the endangered act but they should have their own act 16. all bears should have one too. hunter's when they are scared of being killed because they have trustpassed the animals territory want to kill that animal and that happens to many times with bears. 17. punishments for killing bears should be fined a certain amount of money and a certain amount of time in jail 18. punishments for killing wolves should be alittle stricier like paying a fine, time in jail and going to parks and mountains to help the wolves habitat 19. the rocky mountain wolf's population from last year and 2007 was 1,545. This year the estimate is 1,455, which means there was a decrease of ninty**

[] **20. this year 400 pups were expected to survive into adulthood, but that's not happening. In greater yellowstone area's, pups are dying at a high rate. The FWS say's the cause to the dealths of the pups is suspected to be distimper contacted for domestic dogs. Last year with 186 wolves killed in the three states they say now (This year) FWS estimates the number will be as many as 250.**

[] **8.**** we can protect all of these species by trying not to waste natural resources, Recycle, if you can, your garbage. By recycling, we're helping to save many trees from being cut down for paper. the trees that were save can then remain standing and become a nice home for the animals that live in tree's. Don't pollute the environment, this can prevent any accidental death of animals or plants. Don't buy anything like leather belt, fur coat, or any other products that come from animals. By buying these products you are supporting the hunters, manufacturers, and the idea of killing animals so you can look pretty or handsome, for the men. last but certaintly not lest contribute to organizations that help to protect wildlife. by doing this ypu are helping PROTECT the endanged and wild animals. then the group of foundation can buy certain things to hepl save that animlas habitat 9. learn about the ctreatures that are endangered!! get to know these animals better and want to help them! by doing this we can protect them and their habitat. 10. we need to try and save/ protect these beautiful creatures and plant's because when someting becomes endangered it means in jeopardy of being lost or dissapearing, if all of the endanged species dissapear than there would be alot of animals and plants that are gone. there would be hole of nature missing, education would be lost on all of those animals. 11. children whould not be able to enjoy zoo's as much as we would right now because of the loss of amazing animals and plants. 18. people in the future wont be able to enjoy the presence and value of the animals if they disapear soon. 19. education wont be as strong on studying animals because a large amount of animals population has gone down 20. The next generation to come, if this endangered species list gets any longer or the same endangered species are hopefuly still surviving, will not know much about the most known animals right now. the future does not look good with some of the endangered species such as the canadian Lynx, flordia Panther and the Grey wolves/timber wolves.  **
