An endangered animal is one that is at risk
of becoming extinct or at risk of no longer
being in existence. Endangerment of animals
 is occurring at an alarming rate due to environmental changes, the destruction
of habitat, the shortage of food supply, and being hunted. Unfortunately, many
areas that used to be home of animals have been turned into places where
humans now either live or spend time.
The CALPS students explained with the help of activity, that what happens
when there are no individuals of that species on the earth.
“Biodiversity is the greatest treasure we have… its diminishment is to be
prevented at all cost.” Biodiversity is the variety of lives on the earth and the
importance of maintaining it, is not well known throughout the world.

school seems to be a good predictor of adult political engagement. It has been
 found that voting school elections is positively related to feeling prepared to
vote as an adult, to being committed to vote when 18 onwards, to political
knowledge and to engage in forms of peaceful activism. Running for student
government office is related to political knowledge and participate in peaceful
