What is the connection between Batman and Endangered Species?
So... Today is Batman Day (yes! not a joke) and this reminded us of an endangered species that usually doesn't receive much attention: Bats. The bats are the only mammals that are capable of true flight. Almost 1,000 bat species can be found worldwide. In fact, bats make up a quarter of all mammal species in our world! All young artists from all ages are invited to participate!
The contest theme is Saving Endangered Species. Polar Bears are one of the vulnerable species of our planet.
Here are ten polar bear art and craft ideas to get your kids engaged. Happy Valentine's Day!
Here are a few beautiful images capturing wild animals loving moments. Each one of these beautiful species is facing threats of becoming endangered. There is a lot we can still do to help save endangered species and save their habitats. The IUCN determined that 12% of our world’s bird species are endangered and in threat of being extinct. Additional 8% are in near threat status.
Therefore 1 of every 5 birds could be extinct during the next 50-80 years, that is about 2,000 different bird species! Although the monarch butterfly is not considered to be globally threatened, the North American migration is recognized by the IUCN to be an endangered biological phenomenon.
The flight of the butterflies is the longest known distance insect migration on Earth – and it’s been occurring for thousands of years. Poaching is one of the major threats for survival of endangered species. Poaching is a CRIME in which a wildlife animals are killed for illegally possessing, transporting or illegally selling body parts (tusks, pelt, bones) for huge sums of money.
