Books with title Endangered Animals and Habitats - Bats

Time is running out to see some of the rarest animals on Earth. Our world is full of amazing animals, but some of them might not be around for much longer. This book takes an in-depth look at some of the most endangered animals on Earth. Find out why they are in danger, what we would lose of they were to disappear completely and what, if anything, is being done to save them. This engaging series looks at the devastating impact pollution, global warming, habitat loss and deforestation are having on our planet. Explore why time is running out to see some of Earth's most endangered people, places, plants and animals. Covering the UK geography curriculum and aimed at students aged 9 and up Last Chance to See is a must for young conservationists.

More than 600 species have become extinct in the last 400 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.

This book is both an educational tool and a fun way for children to learn about some of the wonderful animals on the Endangered Species list. By appreciating some of the unique characteristics of interesting creatures like the Asian elephant, the bighorn sheep, the blue whale, and the Siberian tiger - just to name a few - children can better understand the peril these animals face unless humans act on their behalf. By seeing the bright pink and cherry-colored feathers of the crimson wing flamingo, and learning about the long sticky tongue of the red eyed tree frog, a child can begin to imagine what this planet would be like without these fascinating creatures living upon it. While this book is directed toward children ages four and up, adults of all ages will enjoy it too, as they see their little ones begin to grasp the meaning of conservation. To that end, everyone who buys a copy of Endangered Animals can benefit in the knowledge that 5% of the purchase price of each book will be donated to the Canadian Wildlife Federation.
