Description
Create a 12-14 slides PowerPoint characterizing an endangered species of your choice (please, talk to the rest of the team, so no species get repeated). Use visuals, and don’t overwhelm the slides with too much text; just the minimum needed to show the information. Paraphrase your sources; don’t copy-paste from the internet. Use proper English and correct scientific terms: be neat. Upload your project in the Dropbox assigned; there will be no presentation in class.
Required Content: 1. Which is the species’ binomial scientific name?
2. Chosen specie’s main taxonomic classification including genus, family, order, class, phylum, kingdom, and domain
3. Geographic distribution of chosen species: Is the selected species endemic to a specific region? Which? Submit Assignment
4. What is the trophic classification of the chosen species? (Whether autotroph or heterotroph)
5. How does the chosen species reproduce?
6. Describe the chosen species’ habitat, niche, and main diet.
7. Describe the types of inter-specie relations in which the chosen species participates (commensalism, mutualism, parasitism, predation, competition, etc.)
8. Which factors affected this species, leading to being classified as “endangered”?
9. Show a graph or data showing the trend in the number of individuals that may exist today compared to the past 10-50 years (or any past reference available)
10. Are there specific efforts done to preserve or restore this species? Explain. Are there any results so far?
