1. Canadian Lynx By: Elaina Chin and Kennedy Larson

2. What causes species to become endangered? humanDeforestation or other habitat loss, other human activity, pollution, competition from other species, various diseases and Overexploitation

3. What would happen if a species were to go extinct? The ecosystem that the species lives in would not be able to maintain balance and be destroyed Various plants and animals are used for medicines, so if the plants and animals go extinct less people will have medicine

4. Habitat From Northern US to Canada

5. Diet Lynxes‘ are carnivores They eat mostly Snowshoe hare, and also eat rodents birds and fish

6. How to save them “Spread the word” about endangered species Change a habit, such as eating less meat Build a bird house Recycle, Reduce and Reuse Write a letter to a newspaper editor Write a letter to the Senate and/or the House of Representatives

7. Our plan I am writing this on behalf of the Canadian Lynx and all other endangered species. To help the endangered species were planning to not buy items made of fur or any animal parts. We are also going to advertise our project by using a website, blog, and the internet (such as: emails, Facebook, and Twitter). We hope by being able to tell many other people that we can make an impact. Right now many species, various plants and animals, are endangered. The reason that they’re going extinct is mostly our fault. We often cut down forests, chasing many animals away from their habitat. Also we start expanding our communities which takes many other animal and plant habitats. Many of these plants and animals are used for many purposes. If we can keep the species from going extinct, that would help people tremendously. We now need to help them, because it’s our fault. I believe if we started this problem, we should be the ones to fix it. My friend and I have written this letter to you hoping that you would listen to us, and help us tell others that this problem is getting serious and it needs to be fixed. Sincerely, Elaina and Kennedy, from Adam Stephens Middle School We have written a letter to the Statesman Journal Newspaper Editor, we also have a blog and a website to tell everybody about endangered speciesWe have written a letter to the Statesman Journal Newspaper Editor, we also have a blog and a website to tell everybody about endangered species
