Your Task!
To help you understand the causes more clearly let us organise the information you have just read. You will need this information later.
Download the Fishbone Organiser HERE. Once you have your organiser, open up the file and fill in the blank areas. Habitat Loss has been done for you as an example. If you need to reread the information, click the picture above again to help you fill in the spaces.
Once you have filled out all 5 remaining areas you will need your Inquiry Book.
The head of the fish organiser says 'In your Inquiry Book list 2 changes you can make to help reduce these 6 causes and protect the Endangered Animals and their habitats'. So in your books, list the 6 causes and write 2 ways that you can change or do in your daily life that can help stop these causes from happening. Your changes should be related to each cause. For example:
Habitat Loss - Trees get cut down to make paper. When I'm finished with using paper I will not throw any left over paper in the bin. I will save scrap pieces of paper and re-use them for something else, this way I am saving paper.
When you are finished check back with Pete!
