Covers a variety of topics on the subject of wildlife protection, including biodiversity, endangered species, and conservation organizations.
We used to think they were ours to exploit or kill. Now we understand they are not ours at all; they belong to our planet and our environment. In this collection of papers and other materials for general readers, contributing individuals and organizations describe wildlife protection issues and challenges such as biodiversity, amphibian conservation, and declining bird populations. They also describe endangered species and what countries around the world are doing to protect them, reserves for wildlife protection and their effectiveness, and other programs such as surveys and programs to reduce illegal logging. The collection closes with case studies of conservation efforts. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
