Everyone growing up had a favorite animal. Maybe you had more than one, but we all had one. What was yours? For me, mine was always any sea animal, like a shark as well as a wolf or a husky. Throughput the years, many more animals have either become endangered or known as a threatened species. The  Southwestern Willow Flycatcher is an endangered species since 1995 (Barksdale, 2016). Throughput the entire time invested and spent on creating this website, my ideas have changed throughout the project. The question comes down to, do you think your species is worth saving?

    As the project has continued many ideas and research have come into regarding my decision. I believe that the Southwestern Willow Flycatchers are species that should be saved. The Southwestern Willow Flycatchers help maintain out creeks and rivers and dams clean. Help preserve their habitat and migrate to all around the United States (Graf, Stromberg,  Valentine, 2002). The fact of the matter is ght the Southwestern Willow Flycatchers have a big impact on keeping the environment a better place and keeps the creeks and dams clean. They help keep the ecosystem well nourished and keep the insect population in check as that is one of the main food sources that eat (Jordan, 2015).  

    With any endangered species, the main thing is what it would take to help save and protect the Southwestern Willow Flycatchers. The Southwestern Willow Flycatchers are a species of birds that is not really well known and contains information that needs to keep being updated. Not polluting the creeks and dams (riparian corridor), keeping an eye on the reproduction rate of the Southwestern Willow Flycatchers and gathering more information on their migration patterns. With the amount of research that is cooled to date will need to increase because even though we know many things about the Southwestern Willow Flycatcher, their is still much more that has not been discovered yet. If we don’t help restore the Southwestern Willow Flycatcher population, with time it will slowly disappear. Many animals that get their nutrition or eat the Southwestern Willow Flycatchers will have to adapt to a new food species as well as the river and dams ecosystem will be more prone to becoming polluted and lose much of its vegetation and beauty.

    Any researcher or scientist that study birds will need to help get the Southwestern Willow Flycatcher species off the endangered species list. By doing so that would entail setting more laws that protect the Southwestern Willow Flycatchers, gathering more information such as tracking the Southwestern Willow Flycatchers migration and population rate. Which creeks, dams and rivers they use and how they help impact their ecosystem. Just with any other endangered or threatened species, this will take time, energy and money. But in the end, hopefully one day the endangered or threatened species will get off of that list. By obtaining more breeding plans for the Southwestern Willow Flycatchers will help boost up their population.

    There are many key things that we can do to help the Southwestern Willow Flycatchers. The main reason why I think we should help the Southwestern Willow Flycatchers is because they not only give nutrient to the plants and animals that share the same ecosystem with the Southwestern Willow Flycatchers, but because they help keep our creeks, dams and rivers clean and healthy. To save one species is not only help save that species, but saving many more species in that ecosystem.
