Summary

Imagine you are a polar bear and you have begun on a journey searching for food and you have travel far and wide. Now you are able of swim an amazing distance, but you have begun to grow really tired. You have reached a max distance of about 30 miles and you require a break. You look out and you see nothing but open waters. Failing to find food and land to rest, you have to continue your travels. Swimming for a while, you notice that everything continues to look the same. What do you do? Well problems like becoming really hungry, and becoming really tired happens to the polar bears far too many times. Polar bears even die floating among floating blocks of ice. Polar bears have become endangered in the past years and are on the verge of being no more, but the polar bears are among many animals whom may have the same problems or have it worse. Endangered means to become close to dyeing and never being seen again. The word species is just another word for a bunch of animals. Sadly there are more than just one type of endangered species that are placed in many different categories.

 Animals have been disappearing for a long time now. There has been so many animals that has started to disappear that there are now categories of them. Categories are the grouping of certain animals so people like you may know who they are. Supporting these animals continues to be very important at this time. If the animals are not protected now there will not be many left. It is the actions of everyone to protect these helpless creatures so that they may one day be on their own again. Clearing land for farms and towns, lumbering, mining, building dams, and draining wetlands all have an effect on the environment. With the human population requiring food, shelter, and clothing and constantly demanding more energy using devices, the temptation to use the land for human use without regard for consequences is big. We can make a difference but only if we all come together and donate little money at a time. Anything is possible with team work and support from others, but we need to remember that animals like us has a heartbeat, feelings, and the desire to live on. It is the survival of the fittest and only the strong will survive even with help.

 When watching the video, listen to how they introduce ideas on how the law works and how everything is trying to help all endangered species. The video will explain how the endangered species are being protected under the endangered species act. It also explains how people are finfing ways around it. I hope you enjoy.
