The top 12 endangered species are:
Arakan Forest Turtle
Pernambuco Pygmy-owl
Dwarf Olive Ibis
Vaquita
Bactrian Camel
Bushman hare
Brazilian Merganser
Blue-throated Macaw
Sumatran Rhinoceros
Hirola
Pygmy Hippopotamus
Giant Panda
These animals have been the victims of human helped endangered animal situations. These guys have lost parts of their habitat and because they have slow birth rates or limited habitat availability there is a problem with their ability to thrive in nature. I think that there are steps to helping these animals get off the list of endangered species. So if there can be something done why don't we do it?

awareness day!
Endangered!

Celebrating Blue weekend is an interesting endeavor in the Toledo area. It's a celebration of the diversity of plant and animal life in the Oak Openings region, a historic natural area that has the highest concentration of rare and endangered species in Ohio. The day is named for the fact that many of these endangered species have blue in their name. For example, Karner blue butterflies, wild blue lupine, bluebirds and blue jays, blue-spotted salamanders, and blue racer snakes.
This is a great idea. I think choosing a day to celebrate these animals and to make the public aware of these endangered species is a great thing especially for those who don't know about the endangered species. It's become sort of a social awareness day and it's just nice to know that people are consciously helping others become aware of the special animals that they have in their environment. Most people think of endangered species and in tropical rain forests and Africa not in Ohio. It's just one really good idea. I like it.
