Endangered Species
Written by Michael Redmond, Gr. 8
There are six hundred and thirty one endangered species in Canada
White-headed Woodpecker
Sage Thrasher
There are only 7 to 36 of these birds left in Canada Canada
Atlantic Salmon
This popular salmon used for farming has suffered declines. In fact, there are so few that in Lake Ontario
Dolly Varden
The Dolly Varden trout is becoming extinct due to the effects of climate change. This has hugely impacted fisherman because it is a very popular fish.
Scientists believe that the loss of endangered species is greater now than in any time in history. Animals face extinction due to humans 75% of the time.
Think about what you can do to help. Check out Hinterland Who’s Who at http://www.hww.ca/index_e.asp to find out how.
Great story!
ReplyDeleteyou can't be serious right? on average, 25 living creatures that are on the planet today, will be extinct tomorrow. and you have the nerve to think that we will somehow change something badly enough? things move on, so how about you move on from this boring topic
ReplyDeleteI understand what you are saying, but the point is we will reduce the effect that we (as a species) have on the other animals who live here. Even if we can reduce the creatures from 25 to 24, will it not be worth it? If you think about it, the topic isn't really boring at all. It's a goal we should strive towards.
ReplyDeleteI think it is very important to let people know which creatures are becoming extinct,as people are still hunting and fishing alot.Unless we do something to stop hunting certain animals they will literally die off.
ReplyDeletei cant help but notice how mean anonymous #2 and #3 are being hes just a kid who is researching on a certain topic about endangered species and that there arnt many left and if you think that basically any species could be exstinct by tommorow thats basically your fault (and all of ours) so also why bother reading this if you thing its boring hes trying to say ways to help this bird and other creatures. So if you dont like it keep it to yourself!
ReplyDeleteHey! Anonymous #3 here. I was DEFENDING Micheal. My comment was a reply to the anonymous before my own.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous is mad at Anonymous for anonymously defending Anonymous.
ReplyDeleteYo dawg we heard you like anonymous so we put anonymous in yo anonymous so that you can anonymous while you anonymous to anonymous.
ReplyDelete^Haha. Yet another Anonymous here to add to the confusion.
ReplyDeleteThe first Anonymous said, "...you have the nerve to think that we will somehow change something badly enough?" I mean, aside from being a grammatical train wreck, that's very narrow-minded of you to say. Do you think that anyone who has made a difference in the world, whether environmentally or in another way, thinks like that? Just because you see the glass as half empty doesn't mean that no one else can try to educate people about important issues . Just like someone already said, if we can make an attempt to help save even one of those species, is it not worth it? I think it's awesome that Michael cares about the issue of endangered species enough to write this about it. It's people like him that make a diffrence in the world. And even if you don't agree with him, didn't anyone ever tell you that is you can't say anything nice, you shouldn't say anything at all? Sheesh.
