Question

The International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (usually
referred to by its truncated acronym “IUCN”) catalogs endangered and threatened plant
and animal species worldwide on its “Red List.” Research and write about three species that
are listed as either “critically endangered” or “endangered” on the IUCN “Red List.” (The
IUCN Red List is on the web at www.iucnredlist.org.) For each species, write/describe:
1. a basic description of the plant or animal species;
2. where it lives: include both (a) its preferred type of habitat as well as (b) where, geographically on Earth, the species lives (you are encouraged to add a map for each
species);
3. the threats to the species (e.g., habitat loss, pollution, overhunting, etc.).
