ENDANGERED SPECIES PROYECT

WHAT IS AN ENDANGERED SPECIE?

An endangered species is a species which has been categorized as very likely to become extinct in the near future. Endangered , as categorized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Red List, is the second most severe conservation status for wild populations in the IUCN's schema after Critically Endangered 

Many nations have laws that protect conservation-reliant species: for example, forbidding hunting, restricting land development or creating protected areas. Population numbers, trends and species' conservation status can be found at the lists of organisms by population.

CHARACTERISTICS

koalas are mammals, and they have round, fuzzy ears and look cute and cuddly,like a teddy bear. Koalas look soft, but their fur feels like the coarse wool of a sheep. The koala eats  eucalyptus

Koalas live in Australia and Victoria in the eucalyptus forests and woodlands. They live in eucalyptus trees and spend most of their time wedged between forks in the tree's branches.

CAUSES OF ENDANGERMENT

A threatened species is any species susceptible to extinction in the near future.

The koala are endangered due to sexually transmitted diseases and drought. . Its natural predators are the dingos, owls, eagles, strands, vultures and python snakes. Also the times of drought and the fires are dangerous. For decades its population has been declining due to urban sprawl, car accidents, and dog attacks. Other main causes of the extinction of the koalas is the hunting by its fur which is very soft, brown or grey Platinum makes its

sale like pieces of collection or to manufacture expensive coats. The Koala is in danger of extinction by hunting, to obtain from them its fur, since it is very soft brown or grey platinum. This Koala fur sells it as collectibles and to manufacture expensive coats.

HOW CAN WE HELP

To help the koalas we can:

-Protect the habitats where koalas live as people destroy them quite easily

-Don’t cut all the tres of a forest because Koalas live in trees and when forests are cut down, they lose their homes. It is not strange that the trees are cut with the animals still living in them. Apparently, in many aspects there is no respect for their lives. They are seen as an obstacle, rather than something that should be protected.

-Don’t cut the eucalyptus trees because it is the main food of the koalas and they will become extinct too if they don’t have nothing to eat.

-Don’t cause forest fires because these animals lose their home.

There are many experts who believe that the koala will become extinct in the next 30 years if measures are not taken urgently.
