The document outlines the key characteristics of life as reproduction, growth and development, response to environment, and organization. It also lists the needs of living things as energy from the sun, materials like water and gases, and living spaces. A second section discusses how lemurs in Madagascar are endangered because their rainforest homes are being cleared for land, which makes it difficult for lemurs to reproduce, grow, and adapt without trees and living spaces.

2. Lemurs In Madagascar 10/18/2012 11:49:00 AM
Lemurs are in danger because rainforests are being
cleared…along with their homes. To help the lemurs, we need to
stop cutting down trees in Madagascar because without trees, the
lemur has troubles trying to grow and reproduce. We’re not
helping them by taking away their living spaces and making it
hard for them to adapt to all the changes.
