This document discusses biodiversity and endangered marine mammal species. It covers topics such as the definition of endangered species, leading causes of extinction like habitat loss and pollution, case studies on marine mammals, threats they face in different regions, and laws protecting them such as the Marine Mammal Protection Act. It also suggests ways for students to get involved in conservation efforts.
