PRESENTATION RESEARCH:

WWW: This PowerPoint presentation has a constant colour scheme throughout which makes the whole presentation flow. Most of the slides have limited information but lots

• f images to portray the information.

EBI: They could have used speaker notes and limited the information further and cut down on the amount of slides e.g. they could have had the introduction on the first slide to help cut down the amount of slides used. (1)

WWW: There is a constant colour scheme throughout and they have used lots of images to balance the amount of writing. The use of bullet points condenses the amount

• f information and this helps the presentation to flow.

EBI: They could reduce the amount of writing even more by using speaker notes and just bullet point the most important information. (2).

WILDCARE TRUST INFORMATION:

Contact details 42-43 Copheap Lane Dartmill GU99 7MN Tel: 04832 847288 Fax: 04832 847290 email: info@WildCareTrust.co.uk Website: www.WildCareTrust.co.uk General information The WildCare Trust was set up in 2005 with the aim of saving animals from extinction. It is a charity and relies on its members for financial support to continue its work. Membership fees are the main source of income, supported by the animal adoption scheme and donations. Wildcare plans to develop a database of endangered species which can be downloaded and used by members. Membership options At present, there are three levels of membership - Platinum, Gold and Silver. Two new options are planned for next year - Teens and Kids. WildCare Teens (13-19 years) Members will receive a Welcome Pack and will be able to download a database of information about endangered species. The pack will include a membership card, sample results from the database, a leaflet with information about some of the animals and an adoption application form. Teen members will receive a magazine twice a year to keep them up to date on the work

• f the charity.

WildCare Kids (Under 13s) Members will receive a Welcome Pack including a membership card, a badge and a sticker album.

Members will receive stickers and activity sheets twice a year to keep them up to date

• n the work of the charity.

Animal adoption scheme Members may choose any animal in the database and adopt it by completing an application form and paying a fee. In return they are sent an adoption certificate and a bookmark featuring their adopted animal plus regular updates throughout the year. The scheme is only open to WildCare Members. http://www1.edexcel.org.uk/D201_SPB_0911_FINAL/html/SPB201WildCare.html

DEFINITIONS OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF ENDANGERED SPECIES:

VULNERABLE SPECIES - A species particularly at risk because of low or declining numbers or small range, but not a threatened species. THREATENED SPECIES – a species whose population is not yet low enough to be in immediate danger of extinction, but who certainly faces serious problems. If the problems affecting these species aren’t resolved, it is probable that the species will become endangered. The eastern indigo snake and the red kangaroo are examples of threatened species. ENDANGERED SPECIES – a specie, plant or animal, that is in immediate danger of becoming extinct. Its numbers are usually low, and it needs protection in order to

• survive. The Siberian tiger, the southern sea otter, the snow leopard, the green

pitcher plant, and thousands of other plants and animals are endangered worldwide. EXTINCT SPECIES – an extinct species is one that is no longer living. The passenger pigeon, the dodo, and the Stegosaurus are examples of extinct species. These animals no longer exist on the earth.

http://www.endangeredspecie.com/Interesting_Facts.htm DIFFERENT THREATS TO ENDANGERED SPECIES:

The Types of Man-Made Threats Man-made threats can be classified into the following general categories:



Habitat Destruction & Fragmentation - The destruction or splitting up of once continuous habitat to enable humans to use the land for agriculture, development of towns and cities, construction of dams, or other purposes.



Climate Change - Human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels have altered the Earth's atmosphere and have resulted in global climate changes.



Introduction of Exotic Species - Accidental and intentional introduction of non- native species into regions never before occupied by the species have resulted in the extinction of numerous endemic species.



Pollution - Pollutants (pesticides, herbicides, etc.) released into the environment are ingested by a wide variety of organisms.



Over-Exploitation of Resources - Exploitation of wild populations for food has resulted in population crashes (over-fishing, for example).



Hunting, Poaching, Illegal Trade of Endangered Species - Some endangered species are targeted for their value on illegal markets.



Accidental Deaths - Car hits, window collisions (birds), collisions with ships (whales). http://animals.about.com/od/animalswildlife101/a/threats.htm From doing this research on different PowerPoint presentations I have been able to see what makes an effective presentation and how I can make mine just as effective. The two PowerPoint’s I research where both aimed at teenagers/children to this made it easier to see what I can do to make mine appealing to a teenage target audience. I know that when creating my presentation I should limit the amount of information I use and use lots of images while keeping a constant and effective colour scheme

• throughout. I also have the information I need to create my powerpoint and speaker

notes.
