When humans log trees for production they destroy its habitat. This leaves them homeless. It also leaves food scarce and no places to hide from predators. People are trying to help by getting laws passed that allow no construction building in some forests. People also help by laying down nest boxes.
Nest boxes are small and comfortable for flying squirrels.
They keep warm in cold weather and have space to keep food. They are like small habitats for the squirrels to live. I chose to do the Virginia Northern Flying Squirrel because it is unique. It is one of not many types of flying squirrels. If it did happen to become extinct its natural predators like the bobcat could have a negative affect.
