Endangered Species

Mission: To work to reduce the number of endangered species by correcting human impacts that have caused the threat to many species around the world.
Founder: Nicole sorochan, Victoria
Description: An endangered species is a population of organisms which is at risk of becoming extinct because it is either few in numbers, or threatened by changing environmental or predation parameters.

The most important factor leading to the endangerment of the majority of wildlife in the world is the human impact on the species and their environment. “As human use of resources, energy, and space intensified over the past few centuries, the diversity of life has been substantially diminished in most parts of the world” (Ishwaran & Erdelen, 2006, p.179). Basically, as the human impact on the environment increases, the diversity of life decreases. Humans are constantly using the resources and space of other species for themselves, negatively impacting the survival rate of many creatures.

Details: A list of current endangered species is here: http://www.earthsendangered.com/list.asp
