But despite this protection, the mammals and birds within the park may not be fully protected from extinction. Wildlife will migrate or travel to wherever they need to in order to locate enough food, water, shelter, and space to survive. When wildlife wander beyond the boundaries of protected land, they lose their protection too. Outside of North Cascades National Park Service Complex, many species are more vulnerable to the dangers presented by people.
Procedure Using the pieces of rope, make two large circles on the ground.
Each circle should be big enough for the whole class to stand inside. Explain to the students that they will be acting like migrating birds in this game. One circle represents the birds' summer habitat while the other represents their winter habitat. The peregrine falcon and golden eagles migrate to points south. During the first round, which represents the first year of the game, there is no change in the size of their habitat.
