I think profiling and creating inventories of endangered species play an important role in conserving more species that are more susceptible to human-made change. For example, climate change and pollution. I think if it wasn’t for this organization of environmentalists that regularly update the list the issue would worsen sort of like a snowball rolling down a hill it gets larger faster and faster.  This organization also helps us understand why these animals are endangered and what is causing it and how we can help stop the issue.

I think there is always something more that can be done to resolve a conflict but as of now to take any further steps in the right direction we need the compliance and effort of everyone. I don’t know if this is possible because people just don’t care if a species is endangered or even goes extinct. you also have the people that simply don’t believe in climate change, so in the case of the collared pika, someone might here they are going endangered due to climate change and think that is foolish and never think twice about it.

As for actions to take to help and to do more I think it would start with the overall population making a change. Things like carbon emissions and greenhouse gasses which are putting forth towards worsening global warming. We should maybe start by putting more restrictions on the lumber industry which ultimately destroys many animals homes and could worsen biodiversity in many areas.
