That’s why I did a project on saving endangered animals. My project can change the world. I learned what kinds of animals were endangered and how to save the endangered animals from going extinct. I also learned 10 ways to save endangered animals and plants. I learned how to make a book and what words mean. I learned how to save pictures onto an iPad.
