Cultivating students' awareness on issues is always a good thing, especially when you actually get through to them, so I'm all for using endangered animals in the lesson. I also think that writing a bulletin is a good experience for them.
This is alright, it utilizes the internet for one of it's main purposes, which is information (I was gonna say original purpose, but I remembered that the internet was actually created for military usage, a-la Skynet from Terminator :p), and it allows the kids to do all the work rather than you digging up passages for them. Yar!
The topic and site fall within one of the themes in the curriculum specification. Maybe more suitable for the lower forms.
I think the worksheet is a tad too simple.

The term 'Awareness' has been significantly dropping in today's youth. Implementing this lesson plan would be a good start in making our youths more aware of our current ecological status.
