4. Identify an animal or plant that is in danger of extinction or that has been in danger of extinction in the recent past. State the environmental problems that would occur if the species became extinct. Describe the efforts that have been made to preserve the species, and any opposition the efforts faced. Discuss how successful the efforts have been, and what accounts for their success or failure. In describing preservation efforts, name a law, if any, that deals with this species' protection.
