Creating a timeline allows you to gather information that serves as evidence of, and gives you insights into, changes in a species. The timeline summarizes how citizens, scientists, and policymakers came together to identify and understand threats to the birds’ health and develop solutions for their recovery. Visualizing the data in this way allows you to better see trends and patterns and understand how solutions helped reverse the bird’s dramatic decline.
Using the timeline entries as evidence, how would you explain the story of the bald eagle in your own words?
