Summary:
The many reasons animals are endangered have so much to do with people: poaching, overfishing, collecting, pet trade, traditional medicine, and more. But, the number one reason the animals featured in this book are in danger of dying out is habitat loss. Readers learn what people are doing to cause this as well as how captive breeding program and protected lands are trying to reverse what we'd done. Rare species are highlighted on each page with full-color photographs making them real for readers.
