=Introduction= The Earth is currently in the middle of another mass extinction. Species are going extinct every day. We must try to slow this dramatic event. Using your skills and knowledge of evolution lets start saving species, populations and the environment.

=Task= The World Wildlife Foundation (WWF) is starting a new research project to best predict ways of preventing extinction rates to continue at such a high rate. You are hired to join a team of consultants to examine different scenarios of endangered species. Using the knowledge that you have acquired, you and your team must determine and then present different scenarios that could happen if specific events took place. Your team will pick an animal that is currently on the endangered species list and follow their life style. Keep in mind changes that will happen in the animal's environment and the effects of Earth's ever changing climate.

Your wiki should include at least two branches or scenarios that leads to a change in the population of the species. Be sure to include links, pictures and/or videos to aid your cause.
 * Process**

=Conclusion= You have now completed your task. The WWF directors were very impressed with your presentation and have come up with funds to start a new rehabilitation project. This could not have been done without your skills and knowledge of evolution.
