The
Atlas of Endangered Species
The definitive reference to threatened
species
Up to 20 percent of
species may be extinct by 2030.
This revised and updated
edition of the bestselling Atlas of Endangered
Species provides the most current, comprehensive
and easy-to-use reference to the species under
threat, like the panda, the Arabian oryx and the
bonobo.
Vividly presented through
full-colour maps and graphics, it profiles species
lost, threatened and surviving today, examining
their ecosystems, their major threats, and steps
being taken towards conservation.
With more than 50 full
colour global maps, regional maps to illuminate
key aspects, colour photos of rare creatures and
detailed case studies, it remains the essential
guide and reference to what is going on and why
it is so important.
"Highly
engaging - pictures, maps and graphics that
bring immediately home the ever-increasing
crisis of extinction."
The Ecologist
"The
first fully illustrated and comprehensive
guide to the world's endangered plants and
animals."
The Bookseller
"Quite
simply, every school and institution library
should get a copy."
TEG News, British Ecological
Society
"A
compact, clear and informative book that should
have a place on the bookshelf of all readers
interested in nature conservation."
