Your research team (of two students) needs to choose a threatened / endangered species. Species will be approved by the Senior Researcher on a first come, first approved basis. 

As a Research Scientist for the federal government, you will be conducting research to educate yourself about an animal's habitat, reproduction, future, history, appearance/ behavior, enemies and survival.  Each team member will choose between the following roles:  Ecologist and Zoologist.  Both team memebers will have hands in the role of conservationist.  Each team member will complete the individual background research that will provide the information to start your recovery plan. 

First, go to either of these sites and choose a species your group will decide to save.
