Animal 911: Environmental Threats

By Various

Animals in every corner of Earth are experiencing the effects of our changing climate and suffering the results of human activity as mankind burns through more and more fossil fuels and wreaks havoc on animals' habitats for economic gain. Environmentally conscious readers will learn everything they need to know about the dangers millions of animals face every day, such as the horrific aftermath of huge oil spills, clear-cutting of Earth's rainforests, and illegal poaching. Thoughtful text explores what is happening to our animal friends and what can be done to remedy what seems a dire situation, as so many species teeter on the brink of extinction. Compelling photographs of animals in need of our help will inspire budding environmental activists and clearly demonstrate the effects people's actions have on all our planet's creatures, large and small.
