Overview
Age range 9+ This book provides both a wake-up call and hope. If we behave responsibly toward nature, these species can still be saved. We are born, we live, we die, and we loot our planet. We pollute it, mine it, cut down forests, and transform them into arable land. We pump out groundwater as well as raw materials . . . Entire lines of threatened species, however, are dying before our eyes. Do we want to continue like this? Atlas of Endangered Animals maps out the dangers that specific threatened species face. The writer Radek Mal encourages people to think about their actions. The ambitiously conceived atlas is accompanied by remarkable fullpage illustrations by Pavel Dvorsk, supplemented by scientific illustrations by his wife Pavla Dvorsk. These are stories of forty species whose ongoing existence rests in our hands.

Reviews
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.
""I read another book from this series at the end of last year which impressed me to the core. I think that would be the best way to read them. We first must understand what we lost to appreciate what we still have. This encyclopedia contains information and illustrations for about 40 species of endangered animals. It's professionally researched and explained beautifully."" —Diana Livesay, Reviewer ""This is a coffee table book for the teenage set. It is large, hard bound, and populated by beautiful illustrations and informative write-ups of endangered animals. These animals are fascinating to learn about. This is a book that would make a doctor or dentist office more enjoyable, and it is one that would be at home in school and public libraries. Spread the word that our actions hurt other creatures of this world."" —Children's Literature
