Description
Age range 9+
This book provides both a wake-up call and hope. If we behave responsibly towards nature, these species can still be saved.
We are born, we live, we die, and we loot our planet. We pollute it, mine it, cut down forests, and transform them into arable land. We pump out groundwater as well as raw materials... Entire lines of threatened species, however, are dying before our eyes. Do we want to continue like this?
Atlas of Endangered Animals maps out the dangers that specific threatened species face. The writer Radek Maly encourages people to think about their actions. The ambitiously conceived atlas is accompanied by remarkable full-page illustrations by Pavel Dvorsky, supplemented by scientific illustrations by his wife Pavla Dvorska.
These are stories of forty species whose ongoing existence rests in our hands.
