Give two reasons why the nene goose have become endangered?
The Canada Goose is not currently listed as an "endangered" species. They are listed as "least concern" by the International Union of Conservation for Nature, or the IUCN Red List. This is said to be in large part due to society recognizing the drastic decline in the populations of the Canada Geese and taking actions to protect them, their nesting grounds, and migrations routes. The Canada Geese were seriously over hunted without any real regard for their numbers through out the 1800s and early 1900s causing major declines in the overall populations. Also, habitat loss in their nesting grounds, breeding areas, and along migration routes was a major factor in the decline of the populations. At one time, the Giant Canada Goose subspecies was thought to be extinct. But in 1962 a small flock was found wintering in Minnesota. Some of the subspecies, and local populations have not recovered as well as others, but many are increasing their population numbers, and others no longer migrate, but have become resident flocks. For more details, please see the sites listed below.
Many location snow have such large numbers of Canadian Geese that there are serious plans for culls which would eliminate many of the geese by hunting, trapping or poisoning. many airports regard the species as a pest and a danger as they can damage or destroy jut aircraft.
Why is the Laysan Duck endangered?
They were threatened when mankind first colonized their lush islands. Humans brought rats, pigs and other non-native species of invasive ground predators. They are more likely to sit stock still when startled, making them easy prey for those ground-based predators. Ravenous rabbits nearly brought them to extinction in 1912. The IUCN currently has them Red Listed as 'Critically Endangered'.

Fortunately, there has been a worldwide breeding programme to save the Nene and they are being reintroduced into the wild in secure locations.

So depending on where you live, your total tax bill could exceed 50%. You don't get any capital gains rate break for lottery winnings, nor is there any income averaging to help lower your tax bill. If you win more than $5,000 in the lottery, 28% must be withheld from your winnings for federal income tax purposes. You can do a google search 'taxes on lottery' to get more info specific to your situation. 0% in Canada! YES
In US it would all be taxable as ordinary, that is any other income, and effectively be taxed at whatever your personal rate ends up being. That means it is taxed like any other income (albeit not subject to FICA). Many have tried to call it a capital gain or investment gain, but that has always lost in court. If you are a professional gambler, there may be other considerations.This is actually a very well decided area of tax laweverywhere.
(Remember Oprah audience...the entire value of the cars they were given was taxable...in fact the money they were then given to pay the tax on it was taxable). You do not have to declare winnings as income in Australia either. So because it is not classed as income no tax is paid on it.
