Endangered New Jersey
Reviewed August 21, 1999 by a teacher from NJ/USA who is affiliated with the site. The site features extensive info on endangered species (causes, categories, specifics on each species, links,how to help etc.)but also has a local focus - Think Globally, Act Locally - on the state of New Jersey. Created by 3 sixth graders & 2 teacher/coaches (I am one of those) because there were NO sites about endangered species in our state. It has been endorsed by the state’s Dept of Environmental Protection and was a Gold Award winner in the 1999 ThinkQuest competition.

Endangered Species of Hawaii
"My regular readers know I have an affinity for educational Web sites created by students. This site from Hawaii was researched by students at Enchanted Lakes Elementary School in Kailua, Oahu under the direction of their teacher Lena Kanemori. Because more than a third of the animals on the U.S. endangered species list come from Hawaii, Hawaii is called the endangered species capital of the world. Learn why this is so, and what is being done to reverse this sad trend."

Endangered Means There’s Still Time
""Endangered species are like fire alarms. They tell us about problems in our home we call Earth. If we listen to their alarm calls, they could help us improve our lives and the health of our planet." This online slide show from the U.S. Geological Survey explains the difference between threatened (likely to become endangered if it is not protected), endangered (in danger of extinction throughout all or most of its range), and extinct (no longer in existence). In addition to the fifty- nine slides, a glossary of terms is available."

Endangered: Exploring a World at Risk
"From the American Museum of Natural History in New York, comes this excellent self-guided tour of an exhibit held last year. Use the left-hand frame to navigate through the site, but be warned that some of the menus are nested, which is a little confusing at first. One of the don’t miss articles is "Causes of Endangerment". Another is the allegorical "Legend of the Meeps Island Flying Frog" in which the leading lady tries to save the flying frogs from near extinction. Is she successful? I’ll not spoil the fun."

Emperor Penguins @ Nationalgeographic.com
"Emperor penguins are the largest of the seventeen species, or kinds, of penguins, and they spend their entire lives on the cold Antarctic ice and in its waters. They survive -- breeding, raising young, and eating -- by relying on a number of clever adaptations. Best clicks include Fun Facts ("Emperor penguins can stay underwater longer than any other bird."), and the video and audio clips. Links to previous Creature Features (including polar bears, tigers, and koalas) are found on the Fun Facts page on the right-hand side."

Elephanteria
"Have you ever wanted to create a special day to celebrate one of your hobbies? Well, one collector of all things elephant did just that. In 1996, Wayne Hepburn of Sarasota, Florida made September 22 Elephant Appreciation Day by announcing it in Chase’s Calendar of Events. His site is "a smorgasbord of elephantine delights": from serious (elephants in the news) to silly (lots of elephant animations to download.) One of the most unusual clicks is the Elephant Gallery with links to elephants used in corporate logos, advertising, greeting cards, and product packaging."
