The world works due to the fact of the harmony every living organism brings. No matter how small the impact may seem like, it is quite the opposite. Every animal has the potential to become threatened or endangered and soon after that become just a memory or story people will tell about. Every person has something special to them. It means the world to them and without them they possibly wouldn't know what to do. That’s exactly why people need to be more aware of their surroundings, their wildlife and how they are going to protect it. Every animal needs protection from a bad outcome. Enjoy the time you spend outside because you never know what is lurking just around the corner. The Southwestern Willow Flycatchers need our help. They benefit our environment and keep our rivers and dams healthy. By keeping their ecosystems clean and healthy they give nutrients to the plants and animals that share their habitat, they care for their habitat and every resource they use.            

For every species on the planet including us, they all need the basics to survive; shelter, a habitat, stable food supply, habitat conditions and air. Every species has just as many benefits to just as many threats. The Southwestern Willow Flycatchers have threats like any animal, but due to not only habitat destruction but population loss they have been slowly disappearing in the world. Due to the fact that these birds live by  rivers and dams. If their habitat is lost (rivers and dams) then they will be unable to come back to the United States and breed making them change their migration patterns (Graf, Stromberg,  Valentine, 2002). If the Southwestern Willow Flycatchers change their migration patterns, it will be harder and harder for researchers and scientist to track the Southwestern Willow Flycatchers making it tough to tell whether or not they will always be considered an endangered species, a threatened species or a stable species. With the amount of trashed rivers that are destroyed and dams have lead to the loss of more and more species that use those same rivers and dams as the Southwestern Willow Flycatchers, not only will they be unable to come back to the United States because of all of the habitat loss but many more species will be unable to come back. Southwestern Willow Flycatchers many seem like a species that may not have a huge impact on the environment, but that is not the case. They not only stabilize the insects to not overpopulate but keeps the creeks and dams healthy and functional. Some of the Southwestern Willow Flycatchers food ranges from bees, wasps, ants and beetles but eat what is around them and what they can get during that day (Walters, 2015).
