Title: Endangered Species
Description: Although we have become more aware of the importance of conservation and maintaining biodiversity in recent years, many species of plant and animal are still teetering on the brink of extinction. This book looks at which species are endangered and why, how we can combat threats to endangered species such as hunting, the exotic pet trade, traditional medicine and deforestation, and the best methods for conserving species which are in danger of becoming extinct.
