Question Description
Module 4 – SLP
Habitat Loss, Land Use and Conservation
For this SLP project, you will research fourdifferent species: one that is extinct, one that is critically endangered, one that is endangered and one that is (Threatened) Vulnerable. One species must be a Plant or Fungus, the three remaining species each must be from a different Animal category (Avian, Amphibian, Reptile, Mammal, or Aquatic/Ocean).

Slide 1: Title Slide
Student Name, Course Title, and Date
Slide 2: Introduction
Topics to be covered in outline form
Slide 3: Extinct Species
Research an
extinctspecies. Include an image of this species.
Discuss the following questions: Where does this species live
(biome, niche, environment, country)? What is its status on the
food chain? When did it go extinct? What was the major cause of its
demise?
Slide 4: Critically Endangered Species
Research a
critically endangeredspecies. Include an image of
this species. Discuss the following questions: Approximately how
many are left? When is the estimated time they will become extinct?
What is the major cause of their future demise?
Slide 5: Endangered Species
Research an
endangeredspecies. Include an image of this
species. Discuss the following questions: Approximately how many
are left? When is the estimated time they will become extinct? What
is the major cause of their future demise?
Slide 6: Vulnerable Species
Research a
vulnerable(threatened) species. Include an image
of this species. How many are there left or have reappeared? What
is being done to help them come back? What was the cause of their
decline or demise?
Slide 7: Ecological Impacts
Discuss what will happen or has happened because of the loss
of these species you researched to their environment? (What does it
mean to be a keystone/indicator species?) What are the ecological
ramifications on the community or habitat of other species in the
environment as a result of the decline or loss of these species you
researched?
Slide 8: Human Intervention
What are we as a human species doing to stop the loss of
these vulnerable species or what did we try to do for those species
that became extinct? (Discuss examples such as organization/agency
involvement and/or government involvement/education).
Slide 9: Conclusion
Summarize your project findings.
Slide 10: References
List the sources used in APA format.
SLP Assignment Expectations
For this SLP assignment, you will develop a PowerPoint Presentation that is 1-10 slides in length and addresses the requirements outlined above. Place the text containing the answers to the questions above in the slide area, summarizing each topic using bullet points (in your own words, expand in more detail using the notes area).
Be sure to include citations referencing your sources on each slide (use either the slide or notes area). Include a descriptive title for each slide that describes the topic being discussed. Be sure to include a title slide with your name, assignment type (e.g., SLP Module 4) and course title. Include an introduction slide with the subjects you will cover in outline form. Include a slide summarizing your project findings (Conclusion slide). Your final slide should contain a list of references cited in APA format.
