Why this species is Endangered?
The North Carolina Flying Squirrel is in danger of extinction because of mainly the human-impact on their habitats. Some of the impacts humans have on these habitats are habitat destruction, fragmentation, and any other alterations to the environment (e.g. clearing of forests), pollution, recreational/residential development, and the introduction of exotic pests or invasive species. The way that we can help save the Carolina Northern Flying Squirrels is by making sure to protect the habitats of the squirrels from any human related disturbances. We can achieve this by creating borders, signs, or fences to make sure no humans disturb their habitats and cause these flying squirrels to go into extinction.
