Endangered Animal Project

Endangered species are those who are facing a high risk of extinction. This digital poster project gives you an opportunity to learn all about an endangered animal that you are interested in. You may use Canva, PowerPoint or another approved design site to make your "poster" or presentation, and once you are done you will be presenting this information to the class. Your poster needs to cover the information below at minimum:
