Passenger Pigeons were a good sources of food. They were hunted into endangerment because they flew in large flock, making it easy to shoot them down in the hundreds. However, due to the females only laying one egg per year it took a long period to grow their population up. Also because their feathers were used in pillows and their bones produced good fertilizer, the demand for them increased.

Unlike some invasive species, Kudzu was purposely planted in the United States to controlling erosion. Even though this plants key role is to help with erosions goats and other animals graze on it.

A simple solution that would have benefited the well-being of the pigeon would have been to reduce hunting, if not completely. The overharvesting of this bird led to its extinction and could have been prevented if there were laws set in place to stop the hunting of the animal.

Kudzu is troublesome to get rid of. It can grow 5 centimeters (2inches) per hour. Digging it up and even burning the kudzu will not stop it from growing. However, grazing from goats and repeated doses of herbicides can destroy it, without damaging plants around it.

Cockroaches can eat virtually anything, ranging from a dead insect to salt in a tennis shoe. They can also live and breed anywhere except in polar regions. They can go a whole month without food, and survive a month on a single drop of water. Because they can evade their predators easily with their sensors in their joints, it makes it difficult to get rid of them. Plus, when they mate they have a high reproductive rates and make it easier to develop genetic resistance to posion

Cockroaches have advantages many animals/insects do not have. Their abilities' to survive even after being given poison and eating their own dead to live make them a well-adapted insect. Also due to their high reproductive rates it is doubtful they will be going anywhere soon.

Butterflies have naturally short lifespans, in which it helps them adapt to their surroundings easily and quickly. Because they are sensitive to changes it can be an easy indicator to when there is something wrong with the environment. Changes in the climate, the amount of harmful chemicals, pollution and water will result in the emigration of the butterflies, providing evidence of a bad change.

Many farmers use pesticides in their plants, but this is extremely harmful to the butterfly population. Becoming a more organic farm is a rather easy solution. Also because of habitat lose and changes it is difficult for them to survive and reproduce. When they lay their eggs they need to be in a stable environment, otherwise the population will decrease dramatically. Another things to avoid is to capturing butterflies. When an insect is already struggling, the best thing to do is not interfere with their normal life.

Owls depend on their habitats to survive. However, because of the over logging in areas, along with mining, development, and wildfires their homes are being destroyed. Although they can eat a variety of foods; bats, mice, grasshoppers, etc. they have a difficulty trying to find areas to reside.

# data[].attributes.body
To prevent this species from becoming endangered, there needs to be land set aside for the owls to thrive. Making a reservation and not allowing this animal to be killed would prevent the population from depleting more than it already has.

The American Alligator plays a key role in how its ecosystem functions. Although poaching for shoes, belts and pocketbooks almost whipped the whole population out. Fortunately they survived because their niche is extremely important. American Alligators dig deep holes, which holds freshwater that supplies food and freshwater to; fish, insects, snakes, turtles, birds, and other animals. Also when the alligators are finished with their nest other animals, such as the red-bellied turtles use their nests for their eggs.

Even though this species isn't threatened nor endangered, it was before. Because of overhunting it dropped their population by 90% and was nearing extinction; however, due to them being placed on the endangered species list it allowed the population to increase. Once they gained enough of the species back they removed them from the threatened list and you are now able to kill them, when necessary, but do not take it for granted.

Red Pandas diets, like Giant Pandas, consist of mostly bamboo which is difficult to find around the world and the amount isn't always readily available to the species. Also because when they reproduce they only have one to two offspring, it takes a longer period to get the population to increase. Although since the mother only tends for the baby the first week or so based on smell, it puts the babies at a higher risk of dying. Whether it be from another animal eating it or the mother disowning it because she can no longer recognize its scent.

Most animals now have been losing their habitats to deforestation and development, among these animals is the red panda. The red panda lives only in china because of the bamboo that grows there, but if we continue to build and not think about this endangered species it will soon be extinct. They are also hunted for their fur to make hats and other accessories, seen as a good-luck charm. In order to fix this issue we can make it illegal hunt them and making a special area for them to live in until the population increases.

The Scarlet Ibis is a tropical bird that lives in marshy wetland that uses mangrove trees for protection. However, because of rising climates they are having less areas to live and thrive within. Also pollution in these areas is damaging the animals food and water sources.

Changing climates have a bad influence on the globe and its inhabitants. In order to fix this we must focus on becoming more eco friendly and releasing less harmful chemicals into the atmosphere. Although in the Caribbeans, they are well protected, which needs to continue in the areas where it resides.
