Endangered Species

A reference book for middle grades and older, the atlas provides a world overview of endangered mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, invertebrates and plants. The crisis of extinction is organized not by individual species but by critical habitats, ecosystems and geographic areas, examined through the use of engaging graphics: full-color maps, charts, graphs, and photos. Also covered are the major threats to biodiversity and strategies currently being implemented to save imperiled species.

Beautifully crafted dot painting and simple poetry create a deeply engaging book that introduces children to endangered and threatened animals throughout the world. Detailed descriptions of each animal and information about conservation activities are also included at the back of the book.

This amazing collection of full-color, close-up photographs by National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore is accompanied by minimal yet powerful text. The photographs highlight 80 species currently protected by the Endangered Species Act in the United States.
