Polar Bear Pal: Virginia girl helps protect Arctic animals


Mollie Passacantando, at 10-years-old, dedicated her time to seeing polar bears be added to the endangered species list, a government list that helps protect certain animals from being harmed. What animals would you like to see added to that list and why?

  1. I do not really know of any animals I'd like to see added to the endangered species list but I do have a comment about Mollie. I think she should be really proud of herself to actually persuade the U.S. GOVERNMENT to put the polar bear on the endangered species list!!!!THAT'S TOTALLY AWESOME!

  2. I so agree with Olivia and it is so sad to see all of these animals becoming endangered. Why can't the people just realize if humans were endangered and there were only so little of us then what would we do? I am so glad that Molly is doing all of this help for animals.
