Overview
The world is full of remarkable places. There's Antartica, the Amazon rainforest, the Galápagos Islands and many more. There is so much to explore, but some of those places might not exist long enough for us to see and experience with our own eyes. The planet is changing and the consequences are devastating. Beautiful and ecologically important sites are burning, sinking, flooding, melting or are otherwise being destroyed because of human-caused global warming. But there is hope. Many environmental scientists say that if we do something now, we can reduce our impact on the planet. In Gone Forever?, take a trip around the world to discover the incredible places at risk and the many people who are using their unique skills to save them. Discover how making small changes can help safeguard these places for future generations and keep them on the map. The epub edition of this title is fully accessible. Praise for Erin Silver: ★ ""Enthralling...Empowers readers to understand their own human coping mechanisms, while colorful, detailed images soaked in softly muted earth tones build a base of strong general knowledge. The challenge for readers young and old will be to see who says 'ew' first! A thoroughly engaging, fact-filled book with audacious and memorable animal responses to predators. A must-have for every library.""--School Library Journal, starred review for Mighty Scared: The Amazing Ways Animals Defend Themselves
