| What can you do to stop habitat loss? Do you think scientists should attempt to clone extinct animals?
In the book On the Edge of Extinction, chapter one looks at the discovery of woolly mammoth tusks in Siberia in 1997, and what this discovery tells us about the species' extinction. It also looks at the Tasmanian tiger or thylacine, which was shot to extinction.
Chapter two examines the reasons why many species of animals and plants are rapidly becoming extinct. Activities of conservationists and the impact of human activity on the environment are also discussed.
Chapter three looks at two animal success stories. Education, awareness and changing attitudes have bought the Siberian tiger and the American bison back from the brink of extinction. |
