Research four different species: one that is extinct, one that is critically endangered, one that is endangered and one that is (Threatened) Vulnerable. One species must be a Plant or Fungus, the three remaining species each must be from a different Animal category (Avian, Amphibian, Reptile, Mammal, or Aquatic/Ocean).

Slide 1: Title Slide Student Name, Course Title, and Date

Slide 2: Introduction Topics to be covered in outline form

Slide 3: Extinct Species Research an extinct species. Include an image of this species. Discuss the following questions: Where does this species live (biome, niche, environment, country)? What is its status on the food chain? When did it go extinct? What was the major cause of its demise?

Slide 4: Critically Endangered Species Research a critically endangered species. Include an image of this species. Discuss the following questions: Approximately how many are left? When is the estimated time they will become extinct? What is the major cause of their future demise?

Slide 5: Endangered Species Research an endangered species. Include an image of this species. Discuss the following questions: Approximately how many are left? When is the estimated time they will become extinct? What is the major cause of their future demise?

Slide 6: Vulnerable Species Research a vulnerable (threatened) species. Include an image of this species. How many are there left or have reappeared? What is being done to help them come back? What was the cause of their decline or demise?

Slide 7: Ecological Impacts Discuss what will happen or has happened because of the loss of these species you researched to their environment? (What does it mean to be a keystone/indicator species?) What are the ecological ramifications on the community or habitat of other species in the environment as a result of the decline or loss of these species you researched?

Slide 8: Human Intervention What are we as a human species doing to stop the loss of these vulnerable species or what did we try to do for those species that became extinct? (Discuss examples such as organization/agency involvement and/or government involvement/education).

Slide 9: Conclusion Summarize your project findings.
