Biodiversity Status of Species
Research – from academic/scholarly sources – their biodiversity status in the original habitat in which you have observed them, completing a 1-page write-up (double-spaced) for each species. Consider these questions during your research:
What is their current biodiversity status? (Threatened? Endangered? Thriving?)
What are their historical trends for changing biodiversity? (if known)
What sources of threat exist to them? (Natural predators? Humans? Human practices/processes?)
What are some possible consequences to their ecosystems if this species were to go extinct, or greatly diminished in population? (endangered)
What efforts (if any) are currently happening to help preserve this species?
