Statiscal studies on endangered species?

Question

plz help m e out you can either give the website or else the information.want dis till 8th of august.plzzzz help me !!!

Answer 1

The best thing to look at is called the IUCN redlist which is composed of endangered species and they are ranked at different levels according to how much threat the species is in.  It also has links to a large amount of statistical information on the site that I think you should check out.

Answer 2

Probably the best place to look is your state department of natural resources (DNR) website.  They usually have links to help get you the information that you may need.  I have used them often to study the California condor, Peregrine falcon, and the different wolf populations, and many other species.

Answer 3

They change hourly.

Answer 4

There are a few great sources out there with information on this, but you sometimes have to work your way through -- I've even had to contact some of the experts in the field I've found via these organizations to get the specific web pages.  You just need to persist.

The first link below is for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources -- you'll find going to the state level things are less politicized, you can get information more rapidly, and they tend to have better answers.  Every state has a DNR office.

The next link is the U.S. Forest Service.  They have some great research programs in place and could be able to help.  You can go to the main site and window down to the region or state you are trying to get data on.

The third link is the National Park Service.  Like the DNR you can find them on a state-by-state search as well.  The national site has very good navigation though and is good about responding to emails and even phone calls.

I'd also look at The Nature Conservancy and Defenders of Wildlife.

Keep in mind all of these groups have agendas they are trying to meet, so don't forget this as you compile your work.

What might also help is looking at the region you are doing research on wildlife.  I know Puget Sound has a number of groups looking to help local wildlife -- everything from Orcas to Marbled Murrellets (a little seabird).

Good luck.  Hope this helps.
