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 St. Johns NWR is a 6,255-acre area in Florida, on the Atlantic coast.
  • It was established to protect the endangered dusky seaside sparrow.
  • The Bitter Creek NWR is a 14,054-acre area in California, on the Pacific coast.
  • It was established to protect the endangered California condor.
