6. Problems The burrowing owl has become endangered because people build farms where they nest. Also because people let their cattle graze and the cattle destroy their holes. Some of the holes are destroyed by people by making their holes cave-in. If this keeps up they will be all gone. The burrowing owl has become endangered because people build farms where they nest.

7. Solutions Well for starters there’s Operation Burrowing Owl. It is an operation to help the burrowing owl. Also farmers give a bit of land for the burrowing owl to live. Other people also help by making wood burrows under ground for them to live in. They became endangered in May 2000. Well for starters there’s Operation Burrowing Owl.
