When teaching this honor to a group, you could go to the library ahead of time and check out several books on the various endangered animals, or on endangered animals in general. You will need enough books so that each Pathfinder can have one (or they could share them in groups of two), and you need to make sure that you have information on at least ten endangered animals. During class, pass the books around and have each Pathfinder look up the information on the animal featured in that book. Below is a list of some well-known endangered mammals (although mammals are not the only type endangered animals).

  1. African Elephant
  2. Asian Elephant
  3. Bighorn Sheep
  4. Black Rhinoceros
  5. Black-footed Ferret
  6. Blue Whale
  7. Chimpanzee
  8. Giant Panda
  9. Gorilla
  10. Humpback Whale
  11. Leopard
  12. Orangutan
  13. Red Panda
  14. Red Wolf
  15. Sea Otter
  16. Snow Leopard
  17. Sumatran Rhinoceros
  18. Tiger

8. Do two of the following activities:

a. Visit a zoo or animal preserve that has one or more endangered animals in residence. List what animal(s) you saw, where they normally live, and why they have become endangered.

b. Watch a video about an endangered animal. List what animal(s) you saw, where they normally live, and why they have become endangered.

c. Choose an endangered animal and write or give orally a short report about it. Tell where it normally lives, why it has become endangered, what is being done to save it, and any other special details about this particular animal that you have learned.

d. Make a scrapbook about endangered animals. This may include newspaper articles, stories, pictures, stamps, or drawings. This may be a group project.

e. Do an environment circle.

With a group of 10-20 persons, form a loose circle with people evenly spaced within. Have each person represent something in the environment such as animals, grasslands, forests, etc. Then take a spool of heavy thread or string and connect each person to others in the circle. Have the leader start cutting the connections and start taking individuals out of the circle and see how the remaining persons are affected by the loss. Help the group to see that each thing in nature is very necessary to the survival of everything else in nature.
