Publisher's Synopsis
Every year, people are doing more and more to save animals facing destruction or extinction from a wide range of dangers. Protecting the Earths Animals attacks some of the most important issues in wildlife conservation around the world, whether saving rhinos in Africa, trying to free captive killer whales, or, trying to make sure our pet dogs and cats are well cared for. Endangered species are just part of the story; entire animal groups are in trouble, to say nothing of habitats and ecosystems. The human warriors in the battles to help wildlife are the heroes of the stories in Protecting the Earths Animals.
