Australian Guide to Threatened and Endangered Animals

Australia has lost more species of mammal than any other continent in the world. Many Australian animals are endangered. This book introduces a complex topic in a positive, realistic and simple way. This book highlights both the folly of the European approach to the Australian environment and the work of volunteers, scientists, farmers and environment workers towards saving threatened species. A broad range of interesting animals are discussed, examining the reason for their decline and what is being done to save them. The Australian Guide to Threatened & Endangered Animals was short-listed for the 2000 Wilderness Society Environment Awards for Children’s Literature. Author: Sheree Marris
