A possible project about endangered species

When I started my entrepreneurial journalism class, I was told I would have to do a project at some point in the semester.

As of right now, I still don't know my parameters or what I want to do.


This is kind of what my brain looks like.

So anyway, I was contemplating all the things that I really have a passion for. I love wolves. There are many reasons why I love wolves so much, but how to turn that passion into a project is the question I am after!

I think I could maybe do research and compile a list of endangered species and then track one for a year at a time (obviously this is hypothetical). Then I would move onto another endangered species and write about them for a year, gathering information about how they hunt, what they eat. The goal would not be to stalk these animals, but to collect data that's already been gathered and compile it into easy-to-read articles that are both informative and important.

I know it would be somewhat successful because there is at least one human that adores one type of every animal out there, right?


Maybe it's a romantic thought. I don't know. 

But I think it would be a cool project. Or just talk to wolf-specialists and find out what has been going on in the different wolf-populations across the world. I know there is a place in Massachusetts called Wolf Hollow. I went there once. They fed the wolves cheese. It was cute. 


Or maybe I could research different zoos and find out what they do to try to help endangered animals. Or I could compile a list of extinct species that no one really talks about anymore and gather the true information about why they went extinct. Doesn't anyone still care about the sad mammoth?
