Bagheera has been designed as an educational site on endangered species with additional information on related advocacy efforts. In the Wild contains pages on the natural history and conservation status of 29 vanishing species as well as information on the the loss of 11 extinct species. Species descriptions are each cross-indexed with suitable classroom activities. The Spotlight section provides background information on numerous issues relating to extinction events and endangered species conservation, including Asian medicines, the Endangered Species Act, Species Survival plans, and Island Biogeography. Classroom Studies cover the extinction crisis, various causes thereof, and the emergence of conservation biology. Also available are a Glossary and Bibliography. Accessible from the first page is an Image Center and free image download section as well as a government resource section providing information and links to laws which protect endangered species and the agencies mandated to implement those laws.
