Which article are you evaluating?
Endangered species

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article as the topic of endangered species as is greatly vast and extremely complex to address and resolve. Correct information matters as it allows us to approach situations appropriately and provides us with the right resources, mindset and resolutions when it comes to how we can protect and restore endangered species. So far, this article specifically covered a multitude of information about endangered species, it seems to be well written and researched, more evaluation will be discussed below.

The lead section of this article is well thought, it mentions how endangered species become so, how it happens and what causes their status. Introductory is relevant and concise and gives a good guide to what will be covered. The content is sufficient as it provides 7 different types of content. However I believe it doesn’t cover much of European, African and Asian continental information, this is important as it tree of the biggest continents in the world, therefore, contain a lot of the global species. This lead us to the tone and balance of the article, as I mention, a few of the biggest continents are underrepresented and contains mostly North American species information. The sources provided are great and contain peer reviewed articles and it seems that a lot of research and effort was put in here, from different laws, IUCN information and captivity and breeding articles. Further readings are also provided. The organization and writing quality is easy to follow through and organized in a way that is easy for someone who may not know a lot about endangered species to a transition to more specified and detailed information is well written and thought out. The images provided could include more species but the ones showed are well thought out and even provides links directly related to the species and what they are and its origins, giving more information on them. I did not seem to find a talk page for this article so i will omit this part of the article. My overall impression of this article is that it comes off a little biased as it greatly lacks a diversity of species from other significant continents and is mostly focused on North American situations and animals. But the information covered is sufficient and relevant to the topics covered and well researched.
