Endangered Animals
Time is running out… read about the threats to our wildlife, and what you can do to help!
Around the world every day hundreds of species of animals are becoming endangered, and many more are likely to become extinct in the wild unless we do something to help them.
This app focuses on 150 of the animals listed on the IUCN Red List, the internationally recognized list of the world’s most endangered species.
The animals included have been selected to give an overview of the wide range of species whose future survival is now in doubt—from the iconic African elephant, to the little-known axolotl.
Each card highlights the threats facing a particular animal, and outlines how varied these threats are—from habitat loss and global warming, to pollution and civil war.
Web-links to conservation groups and projects around the world will help you to learn more about your favorite animal, and provide you with information about what you can do to help.
Written by experienced children’s authors with a specialist knowledge and interest in natural history.
