significant wildlife restoration successes in North American history. This species of bird has not only been restored to almost all of its family range, but has been successful to suitable habitats elsewhere on the continent. The story of the wild turkey is a cause for thanksgiving among the people who support the environment. And not just at this time of year.

However, these beautiful creatures come in all different sizes and shapes and there’s an estimated 17 species of penguins which all vary in different ways.

During the past 100 years or more, some 10 of Canada's once-flourishing Aboriginal languages have become extinct, and at least a dozen are on the brink. As of 1996, only three out of 50 Aboriginal languages - Cree, Inuktitut and Ojibway - had large enough populations to be considered

Languages: Should governments fund the education and revival of dying or dead Celtic languages? Dying languages, also known as endangered languages, are often times defined as languages that are, “likely to become extinct in the near future” (Woodbury). Dead languages have become extinct over time as cultures have evolved. Dying Celtic languages include but are not limited to Irish, Welsh, Scottish Gaelic, and Manx.

If one walks through one of the large cities’ streets in our country. They will hear and experience a variety of languages.

As a result the majority of our records have been destroyed, Earth, many of the world’s languages are now considered extinct. Intergalactic researchers have to dig through old archives, interview the remaining human species in an effort to decode the dead languages. However, the remaining few humans believe that their language

The number of languages spoken in the world has been diminishing steadily over the past centuries. According to estimates (Romaine, 2007), scientists suggest that on average, one language may vanish every 14 days，and thousands of languages are on the verge of extinction (Romaine, 2007). Furthermore, more than half of the languages spoken today are expected to disappear in the next 100 years. What is worse, among the 6,000 existing languages (excluding dialects), only about 5% are spoken by more than
