Description

Despite the many encouraging conservation success stories about wildlife, there is still a significant number of animals at risk of extinction in all corners of the planet. Many of these--like Giant Anteater, Asian Elephant, Giant Panda, Leatherback Sea Turtle, Bluefin Tuna, and Harpy Eagle--are eminently recognizable to even those with casual interest. With this portable reference on hand, you can get acquainted with nearly 100 at-risk mammals, birds, reptiles, and fishes, each beautifully illustrated in full color. Our lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide also covers these animals' ecological roles, evolution, survival techniques, habitats, and threats. Laminated for use in all conditions, this handy resource is ideal for educators, learners, naturalists, birders, and wildlife enthusiasts who wish to enhance their knowledge of threatened animals and the challenges they face. Made in the USA.
