    First of all, they provide vital ecological services. They clean up. They are our natural
    garbage collectors. They clean up carcasses right to the bone. They help to kill all the
    bacteria. They help absorb anthrax that would otherwise spread and cause huge
    livestock losses and diseases in other animals.

    Nowadays, it is very important to take care of animals because of they are endangered or
    extinction.

    3. Look at the following list about ENDANGERED ANIMALS on WWF organization and
    choose one of them to socialize.
    https://www.worldwildlife.org/species/directory?direction=desc&sort=extinction_status

    4. When you have your endangered animal, make a presentation in power point about it
    showing:
    The green turtle
    Characteristics

    Common Name: Green Sea Turtle


    Scientific Name: Chelonia mydas
    Type: Reptiles
    Diet: Herbivore
    Group Name: Bale
    Average Life Span In The Wild: 80 or more years
    Size: Up to 5 feet
    Weight: Up to 700 pound

    The green turtle is one of the largest sea turtles and the only herbivore among the different
    species. Green turtles are in fact named for the greenish color of their cartilage and fat,
    not their shells. In the Eastern Pacific, a group of green turtles that have darker shells are
    called black turtles by the local community. Green turtles are found mainly in tropical and
    subtropical waters. Like other sea turtles, they migrate long distances between feeding
    grounds and the beaches from where they hatched.

    Reasons for endangered

    The Green turtles are threatened by overharvesting of their eggs, hunting of adults,
    being caught in fishing gear and loss of nesting beach sites.

    Why do you choose it?

    Because the green turtle is one of my favorite animal in the world. It is a beautiful and
    tender animal.

    5. In power point presentation, you should record your voice talking about animal.
