You are required to use a variety of methods and sources to collect information on the endangered species that you have chosen. You will use books, software, and magazines. You will use the Internet to conduct searches to collect data on your species. Along the way, you may communicate via email with Mrs. Trenholme, our librarian, who will help you find resources to aid in your research. If you cannot find enough information about the species you have chosen, you must select another.
