 * Third Grade Global Studies Students are Learning about Endangered Species **

What does it mean to be **Threatened**? **Endangered**? When a species is //threatened// it is a warning that there is a problem of some kind with the species. If an animal or plant is //threatened// it means that it may become //endangered// if we don't take immediate steps to protect it. Animals or plants that are considered to be //endangered// are in danger of becoming //EXTINCT// and need our immediate attention and protection. When a species becomes //extinct,// it is gone forever. This changes the food web it belonged to, which in turn disrupts the biodiversity of its habitat. Plants and animals also serve many other beneficial purposes to humans including medicinal, agricultural, ecological, commercial and or aesthetic or recreational uses. Species need to be protected and saved so that future generations can experience their presence and value.
