Your background research helped you identify the major threats to your species. Now you will have the opportunity to apply this knowledge to determine what steps need to be taken to help your endangered species.

The goal of your recovery objectives is to address the environmental threats to your species and state what must be done to stabilize and ultimately delist the species. Earlier, you used the acronym HIPPO to explore the environmental threats to your species. Another acronym, HELP, can be used to examine possible solutions to help your species. HELP stands for:

Habitat protection and restoration

Environmental education

Laws to protect biodiversity

Planning with the local population
