Full Description
This sequel to Atlas of Extinct Animals maps out the fates of 40 endangered species that are on the brink of extinction due to human actions.
There are many kinds of animals and species that once walked the Earth, but didn't survive until the present day. And you may be surprised, how many of the existing animals are about to face the same fate. This book is about the most significant creatures that might not see the light of next century. Read about them now, because the next moment, they might belong to the past.
The author Radek Malý encourages people to think about their actions. The ambitiously conceived atlas is accompanied by remarkable fullpage illustrations by Pavel Dvorský, supplemented by scientific illustrations by his wife Pavla Dvorská. This book provides both a wake-up call and hope. If we behave responsibly toward nature, these species can still be saved.
