Stopping species from becoming endangered will be hard. Even though humans have been part of the problem, we can be part of the solution by becoming conservationists! For example, we can protect habitats by creating national parks, wildlife reserves, and marine protected areas. Humans can create and follow hunting and fishing laws. We should not take more than we need. We can keep animals safe from poachers who hunt them without regard for the rules. One way to do this is have more wildlife police. Humans can also work to keep our Earth clean.

Schools in the U.S. have changed a lot in the last 100 years. There used to be different schools for Black and White students in some places. It was legal to do this. Schools in the South required that Black and White students go to different schools. Schools for Black students were almost always worse. People began to protest this law. They knew that it was unfair. A Supreme Court case in 1954 changed the law. The court decided that having separate schools for Black and White students was not fair. All schools had to be open for all students.
