Wildfires are a threat to the environment because they destroy plants and their habitats. These wildfires also release large amounts of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere. These wildfires affect the living by destroying their habitats and destroy the non-living by polluting the air]]> 2018-10-19 17:58:23 UTC https://padlet.com/marypike/kug53yscwovj/wish/294951405 mallorygleaton https://padlet.com/marypike/kug53yscwovj/wish/294955761 Iberian Lynx (Lynx pardinus)

• The current population is estimated to be less than 100. 
• The factors causing the endangerment are hunting and habitats being destroyed by wildfires. 
• With the lynx population declining, there has been an increasing in the population of rodents.
• Some conservation projects have introduced them back into the environment and endorsed breeding projects. They are legally protected. 
• Lynxes are located in Spain and other places in Europe. ]]> 2018-10-22 17:59:12 UTC https://padlet.com/marypike/kug53yscwovj/wish/295612525 marypike https://padlet.com/marypike/kug53yscwovj/wish/295616341 2018-10-22 18:05:07 UTC https://padlet.com/marypike/kug53yscwovj/wish/295616341 marypike https://padlet.com/marypike/kug53yscwovj/wish/295617966 http://www.softschools.com/facts/biomes/chaparral_biome_facts/169/
