Studying Endangered Species

There are 3079 animals and 2655 plants that are classified as Endangered worldwide. Many of these species are in danger because of the direct impact of man and the removal of their native habitat. These apps give students an introduction to the number and variety of species that are under threat. These would be good for Inquiry or Project Based Learning but are just as useful as classroom resources.
