4 Work in pairs. Make a poster about an endangered animal.

1 Choose one of the animals below or one of your own. Do some research to add to the
animal fact sheet.

What is being done? A plan is being carried out to increase
the number of wild tigers.

What can we do? Do not buy fur or other tiger products!

What is being done? Reserves are being built for them, and
they are being searched for in the wild.

and then collect the information you need.

2 Write the name of the species and why it is endangered.

to the facts and problems.

4 Tell the readers what you want them to think and do.

feedback.
