The Not So Fortunate Ones

Hi kiddos!
As you know, we're studying how human actions, like pollution and habitat destruction, have led animal and plant species to endangerment and even extinction. Here I present to you just a few of the animal species that are now on the IUCN (World Conservation Union) Red list. I'll leave the IUCN link so you can see the rest of them. They are a lot! Sad, isn' it? And alarming too!

The good news is that we still can help them come out of that list. Let's all work together to find out ways to preserve these amazing species. After all, we're all live in this magnificent blue planet,and share the same future.
