Endangered Species Exhibit

This gallery room features works from student artists in the Fullerton School District on the subject of endangered animal species. Endangered wildlife are animals that are in danger of disappearing. People have passed special laws which protect these animals so that they can live without as many threats to their existence. Some of the animals on the endangered species list are from the African continent. They include: the rhinoceros (picture by Devin Cochran, Grade 5, report by Jessica Daniel, Grade 5, Pacific Drive School), the elephant (picture by Nathan Falke, Grade 6, Pacific Drive School), the zebra (picture by Thomas Starritt, Grade K, Raymond School), and the lion (picture by Meg Voss, Grade 5, Pacific Drive School). Species from other places in the world include the American Bald Eagle (picture by Zaynal Phain, Grade 6, Pacific Drive School), the Golden-Headed Lion Tamarin (picture by Lauren Johnson, Grade 6, report by Daniel Boughter, Grade 6, Pacific Drive School) , the Giant Panda (picture by Katy French, Grade 5, report by by Christina Jheun, Grade 5, Pacific Drive School) , and the thick-billed parrot (picture by Kelly Spitz, Grade 5, report by Gina Aube, Grade 5, Pacific Drive School).

A species can become endangered when people change the animals' environment so much that it's hard for the animals to find enough food or space to live. Sometimes they are threatened to become extinct because their environment has become too polluted or because people have hunted them for their beautiful fur. People all over the world are working together to make sure that all the animals on the endangered species list will stay alive for as long as possible.
