The Endangered Species Act (ESA) requires the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to select critical habitats and design a detailed recovery plan for each species listed. The recovery plan consists of:
 * Thursday Sept 27th**
 * 1) An estimate of the current population size
 * 2) An analysis of what factors contributed to its endangerment
 * 3) A list of activities to help the population to recover

Using [|www.bagheera.com]. Outline the recovery plan for the two different animals, the one is listed next to your name and a second animal of your choice.

**Extension** **Support the recovery process for an endangered species in the United States by using the media.**


 * 1) Find out what threatened or endangered species live in Massachusetts and select one of these species.
 * 2) Look for a copy of the recovery plan for the species. If there is no recovery plan, ask why. (Not all listed species have a plan, even though the Endangered Species Act requires one for every listed species.)
 * 3) Make a list of ways citizens can support recovery efforts for this species.
 * 4) If in Malden, try to get your list published in a local newspaper? (Blue and Gold?)
