Endangered Animals and What We Can Do to Protect Them! Pets 4 People Presentation 2-7-2020 Endangered Animals And what we can do to protect them! Prepared for Jessica Vance ROUND ROCK ISD What Is the Difference Between Threatened and Endangered Species? An endangered species is a species of wild animal or plant that is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range. A species is considered threatened if it is likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future. "Endangered" refers to a species that is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range. "Threatened" refers to a species that is likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range. On the International Union for Conservation of Nature or IUCN Red List, "threatened" is a grouping of 3 categories: Critically Endangered - Endangered - Vulnerable How Does a Species Become Listed as Endangered? An endangered species is a type of organism that is threatened by extinction. Species become endangered for two main reasons: loss of habitat and loss of genetic variation. A loss of habitat can happen naturally - Development can eliminate habitat and native species directly Extinct (EX) - No individuals remaining. Extinct in the Wild (EW) - Known only to survive in captivity, or as a naturalized population outside its historic range. Critically Endangered (CR) - Extremely high risk of extinction in the wild. Endangered (EN) - High risk of extinction in the wild. Vulnerable (VU) - High risk of endangerment in the wild. Near Threatened (NT) - Likely to become endangered in the near future. Least Concern (LC) - Lowest risk. Does not qualify for a more at-risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category. Data Deficient (DD) - Not enough data to assess its risk of extinction. Not Evaluated (NE) - Has not yet been evaluated against the criteria. BEST FOR You 3 ORGANICS COMPANY Our Promise to the Animals & what we can do to protect them 1) Learn about endangered species in your area: Teach your friends and family about the wonderful wildlife, birds, fish and plants that live near you. The first step to protecting endangered species is learning about how interesting and important they are. 2. Visit a national wildlife refuge, park or other open space: These protected lands provide habitat to many native wildlife, birds, fish and plants. Scientists tell us the best way to protect endangered species is to protect the places where they live. Get involved by volunteering at your local nature center or wildlife refuge. 3. Make your home wildlife friendly. Secure garbage in shelters or cans with locking lids, feed pets indoors and lock pet doors at night to avoid attracting wild animals into your home. BEST FOR You 4 ORGANICS COMPANY 4. Native plants provide food and shelter for native wildlife. Attracting native insects like bees and butterflies can help pollinate your plants. Find out what plants you can plant that will attract insects native to your area – A Nursery or Garden shop is a great place to get this info. 5. Herbicides and pesticides may keep yards looking nice but they are in fact hazardous pollutants that affect wildlife at many levels. Many herbicides and pesticides take a long time to degrade and build up in the soils or throughout the food chain. Predators such as hawks, owls and coyotes can be harmed if they eat poisoned animals. Some groups of animals such as amphibians are particularly vulnerable to these chemical pollutants and suffer greatly as a result of the high levels of herbicides and pesticides in their habitat. 6. Slow down when driving. Many animals live in developed areas! one of the biggest obstacles to wildlife living in developed areas is roads. Roads divide habitat and present a constant hazard to any animal attempting to cross from one side to the other. So when you’re out and about, slow down and keep an eye out for wildlife. 7. Recycle and buy sustainable products. Buy recycled paper, sustainable products like bamboo and Forest Stewardship Council wood products to protect forest species. Never buy furniture made from wood from rainforests. Recycle your cell phones, because a mineral used in cell phones and other electronics is mined in gorilla habitat. Minimize your use of palm oil because forests where tigers live are being cut down to plant palm plantations. 8. Never purchase products made from threatened or endangered species. Overseas trips can be exciting and fun, and everyone wants a souvenir. But sometimes the souvenirs are made from species nearing extinction. Avoid supporting the market in illegal wildlife including: tortoise-shell, ivory, coral. Also, be careful of products including fur from tigers, polar bears, sea otters and other endangered wildlife, crocodile skin, live monkeys or apes, most live birds including parrots, macaws, cockatoos and finches, some live snakes, turtles and lizards, some orchids, cacti and cycads, medicinal products made from rhinos, tiger or Asiatic black bear. 9. Harassing wildlife is cruel and illegal. Shooting, trapping, or forcing a threatened or endangered animal into captivity is also illegal and can lead to their extinction. Don’t participate in this activity, and report it as soon as you see it to your local state or federal wildlife enforcement office. You can find a list of state wildlife departments at 10. Protect wildlife habitat. Perhaps the greatest threat that faces many species is the widespread destruction of habitat. Scientists tell us the best way to protect endangered species is to protect the special places where they live. Wildlife must have places to find food, shelter and raise their young. Logging, oil and gas drilling, over-grazing and development all result habitat destruction. Endangered species habitat should be protected and these impacts minimized. BEST FOR You 5 ORGANICS COMPANY Things we can do to help our oceans and animal habitats: 1. Use Less Plastic One way to make a positive impact on the environment is to use less plastic! When thrown away, plastic eventually breaks down into smaller bits called microplastics which continue to affect the environment for decades. Single-use plastics such as plastic bags, bottles, straws, and takeout containers are some of the biggest culprits, so avoiding these in your daily life can make an impact When you do use plastic, remember to recycle. The more plastic we reuse, the less is tossed into our oceans. 2. Eat Less Seafood and Meat Seafood’s popularity has led to dangerous overfishing of the world’s seafood stocks. Limiting your intake of seafood and supporting responsible fishing practices can help. When you do purchase seafood, think purposefully about where you buy it from. 3. Support Ocean-Related Causes Many efforts are already in place to help protect oceans and marine life. Take steps towards supporting a nonprofit’s efforts and volunteering your time. BEST FOR You 6 ORGANICS COMPANY BEST FOR You 7 ORGANICS COMPANY Some animals, like koalas and kangaroos, are primarily killed directly by the fires -- for instance, by being incinerated in flames or choking on smoke. ... Wombats have also been hit hard -- they don't cope well with heat or stress, and panic at the smell of smoke. Images of burned koalas prompted people to support a Gofundme Page for Australia’s Port Macquarie Koala Hospital. The hospital has received more than $2 million in donations since September but is still struggling to treat injured koalas. BEST FOR You 8 ORGANICS COMPANY Australia’s top 10 most endangered species Australia is home to some unique critters, but it also has one of the highest extinction rates in the world. 1. Southern corroboree frog IUCN listing: Critically Endangered 2. Margaret River burrowing crayfish IUCN listing: Critically Endangered 3. Lord Howe Island phasmid IUCN listing: Critically Endangered 4. Bornemissza’s stag beetle EPBC listing: critically endangered 5. Derwent River sea star EPBC listing: critically endangered 6.

Red-finned blue-eye fish IUCN listing: Critically Endangered 10. Armoured mist frog IUCN listing: Critically Endangered BEST FOR You 9 ORGANICS COMPANY Animal Habitats & Diets All living things need to eat to survive, so food sources are a critical component of wildlife habitat. Plants provide food to wildlife in a wide variety of ways, from berries to nuts to nectar and even the insects they support that feed other animals. Even dead trees can provide food by attracting insects, mosses, lichens and fungi, this deadwood becomes a cafeteria for wildlife looking for a snack. Many species need different food at different stages in their life. Hummingbirds for example, need nectar and regular doses of protein from mosquitoes, spiders, thrips, gnats and other arthropods to round out their diet. Other birds only eat seeds, or fruit. BEST FOR You 10 ORGANICS COMPANY What efforts are being made to help Endangered Animals? The Endangered Species Act is the strongest law for protecting biodiversity passed by any nation. Its purpose is to prevent the extinction of our most at-risk plants and animals, increase their numbers and effect their full recovery — and eventually their removal from the endangered list. BEST FOR You 11 ORGANICS COMPANY 3 GREAT organizations that assist Endangered Animals & the Environment Defenders of Wildlife Defenders of Wildlife works tirelessly both on the ground and in the courts to protect and restore threatened wildlife. Their conservation efforts extend to the polar bear, wolves, sea turtles, sharks, panthers and manatees. They work at a policy level to ensure that endangered animals are protected, but also offer practical advice to people who have to live alongside bears! Jane Goodall Foundation In 1960, Jane Goodall ventured into the forests of Africa to be able to see wild animals living without human disturbance.

  • IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ to Identify the Level of Threat to Plants
    Ex-Situ Conservation at Scott Arboretum Public gardens and arboreta are more than just pretty places. They serve as an insurance policy for the future through their well managed ex situ collections. Ex situ conservation focuses on safeguarding species by keeping them in places such as seed banks or living collections. In situ means "on site", so in situ conservation is the conservation of species diversity within normal and natural habitats and ecosystems. The Scott Arboretum is a member of Botanical Gardens Conservation International (BGCI), which works with botanic gardens around the world and other conservation partners to secure plant diversity for the benefit of people and the planet. The aim of BGCI is to ensure that threatened species are secure in botanic garden collections as an insurance policy against loss in the wild. Their work encompasses supporting botanic garden development where this is needed and addressing capacity building needs. They support ex situ conservation for priority species, with a focus on linking ex situ conservation with species conservation in natural habitats and they work with botanic gardens on the development and implementation of habitat restoration and education projects. BGCI uses the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ to identify the level of threat to plants. In-depth analyses of the data contained in the IUCN, the International Union for Conservation of Nature, Red List are published periodically (usually at least once every four years). The results from the analysis of the data contained in the 2008 update of the IUCN Red List are published in The 2008 Review of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species; see www.iucn.org/redlist for further details.

    Endangered species ACRONYMS AREAS COUNTRIES MARINE TERMS DEFINITION Any species that is in danger of extinction throughout all or part of its range. Specially Protected Areas Protocol (Protocol of the Barcelona Convention)[2] 'Endangered' in relation to a particular migratory species means that the migratory species is danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range. Convention on Migratory Species Article 1 (Interpretation)[3] NOTES ON DEFINITION The most commonly used and recognised definition of an endangered species is that used in theI UCN Red List of Threatened Species. However, the term is also defined in two convention texts, primarily for clarification of the term’s use within each Convention’s application. IUCN provide detailed criteria and thresholds to define an Endangered species under their threat classification systems. The Conventions have different criteria for identifying what is an endangered species. Endangered is often considered in conventions to mean an elevated risk of extinction, a distinction that IUCN would apply to all threatened species criteria (Vulnerable, Endangered and Critically Endangered species, as classified by the IUCN). FURTHER DEFINITIONS Endangered (EN) is a category on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species which indicates a taxon is considered to be facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild. Adapted from International Union on Conservation of Nature (IUCN) 2012 1 KEY POINTS Endangered species are at risk of extinction. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species is a global approach for evaluating the conservation status of plant and animal species, including those that are endangered. The IUCN Red List is does not, nor it is intended to, provide assessments of all species known to science.

  • (International Trade Restrictions) on Endangered Species Populations
    An Econometric Analysis of the CITES (International Trade Restrictions) on Endangered Species Populations Leah Martindill The College of New Jersey Economics Department Advisor: Dr. Subarna Samanta January 2015 Abstract: The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) restricts the trade of endangered specimens to ensure international trade does not threaten the survival of the species. This international agreement has been around for 40 years and yet there has been no analysis of the effects these trade restrictions actually have on endangered animal populations. This is a preliminary study on the relationship between CITES and the trend of endangered species populations. The purpose of this paper is to start a conversation about ensuring that our animal conservation methods do not just sound good, but produce their intended results. As the World continues to become more global, the need for conservation methods that work becomes more critical. In order to ensure the efficacy of such methods, a definitive way to measure their effects must be established. This study attempts to draw initial conclusions about the success of the CITES convention. Contents Introduction 3 Review of Literature 6 Data & Methodology 7 Econometric Results 10 Conclusion 12 Bibliography 14 Appendix 15 2 Introduction In the last five hundred years, over eight hundred species of plant and animal have been forced into extinction due to human activity.1 As more of the World develops, so do concerns for the environment. For the past several decades conservation has been given international attention. Global World-leaders and scientists have made issues of environmental conservation and protection priorities.

    Conference of the Parties to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES); Seventeenth Regular Meeting: Taxa Being Considered for Amendments to the CITES Appendices The United States, as a Party to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), may propose amendments to the CITES Appendices for consideration at meetings of the Conference of the Parties. The seventeenth regular meeting of the Conference of the Parties to CITES (CoP17) is scheduled to be held in South Africa, September 24 to October 5, 2016. With this notice, we describe proposed amendments to the CITES Appendices (species proposals) that the United States might submit for consideration at CoP17 and invite your comments and information on these proposals. Please note that we published an abbreviated version of this notice in the Federal Register on August 26, 2015, in which we simply listed each species proposal that the United States is considering for CoP17, but we did not describe each proposal in detail or explain the rationale for the tentative U.S. position on each species. CITES is an international treaty designed to control and regulate international trade in certain animal and plant species that are affected by trade and are now, or potentially may become, threatened with extinction. These species are listed in the Appendices to CITES, which are available on the CITES Secretariat’s website at http://www.cites.org/sites/default/files/eng/app/2015/E-Appendices-2015-02-05.pdf. Currently, 181 Parties, including the United States, have joined CITES.
