While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
  • The United States has designated more than 500 areas National Wildlife Refuges (NWRs).
  • Some NWRs were established specifically to protect endangered species.
  • The James River NWR is a 4,147-acre area in Virginia, on the Atlantic coast.
  • It was established to protect the endangered bald eagle.
  • The Hopper Mountain NWR is a 2,471-acre area in California, on the Pacific coast.
