Books with title Endangered Animals and Habitats - Bats

Dolphins and porpoises are some of the most intelligent creatures on earth with brains only slightly smaller than humans. Unfortunately these magnificent mammals are threatened with extinction from the fishing industry, hunting, pollution, and habitat destruction. Dolphins and Porpoises investigates the perils faced by these endangered animals, and explores what is being done to save them.

There might be two hundred million different types of living things on our planet - and some are in danger of becoming extinct. Find out about some that we have lost forever, and some that are in great danger: Animals such as the blue whale, the black rhino and the great white shark. Why is it happening, and what can we do about it? Then read Bill and Ben's story - a true story about how sometimes it is very hard to do the right thing to help endangered animals survive. This is one of a series on books on popular non-fiction topics. As with other books in the series, a full colour non-fiction section is followed by a fiction story based upon the topic. The story appears in two formats: one with simple texts for poor or reluctant readers; the facing pages contain an illustrated "speech bubble" version for those who are just starting to read.

Lucent's Endangered Animals & Habitats titles focus on species and environments that are threatened with extinction.

Part of Lucent's popular Overview Series, Endangered Animals & Habitats impartially assesses the delicate balance between ever-expanding human needs and the desire to maintain an environment rich in biodiversity.

More than 6 species have become extinct in the last 4 years, and, while there are many reasons for this alarmingly high number, the influence of human behavior is undeniable. This beautifully illustrated book thoughtfully examines many at-risk species, and the principal threats to their well-being, at the same time empowering students to get involved in conservation efforts. Objective text, clear charts, and graphs weigh the causes and effects of human behavior on animal habitats, while also touching on the animal adaptations and human intervention that have brought certain species back from the brink of extinction.
