Endangered Species in the Sahara Desert
This is a writing sample from Scripted writer Ruth deJauregui

Despite the harsh desert heat, a number of animal species live in the Sahara. However, due to human encroachment, hunting, drought and loss of habitat, several species are on the brink of extinction.
