- Natureserve
This is an interesting biodiversity database. The home page map makes it appear to be limited to the eastern U.S. but it actually covers much of the U.S. One can search for a particular species, or part of a name, and retrieve all sorts of data. Seems to be a good starting point for research projects and student papers.

This is the 1994 IUCN Red List of Threatened Animals, which lists animals from around the world whose numbers are going down. To use this list, it's best to know the scientific name of the animal you're researching. But you can also look up endangered animals by country.
