Five Year Review – your species probably has a five year review document in this section of its FWS web page. Be sure to check out those documents to learn more about population information, threats and conservation efforts for your species.

About habitat conservation plans (HCP):  https://www.fws.gov/endangered/what-we-do/learn-more.html


May 30 assignment – begin research on the rest of the topics for your report:

1.Begin by researching the information provided for your species on the  Endangered Species Act website

2. Find more information on other science websites. A few examples are listed below. ALSO you can Google your animal’s name and find information that way. Make sure your list all sites that you use in your bibliography.

YOU MAY NOT USE WIKIPEDIA FOR THIS RESEARCH (ONLY ALLOWED FOR TAXONOMY)

Good site for birds:  https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/search

Good site for reptiles and amphibians:  http://www.herpedia.com/index.html

General site for many other species:  http://explorer.natureserve.org/

Finding information on the taxonomy and “order” for your species. Wikipedia can be a good source for this – see this example for the northern bobwhite.  On the right-side of the webpage the taxonomy is displayed. You can click on its order and find out more about it. If Wikipedia does not have information, then just Google the order and use a reputable science source.
