Endangered, Extinct and on the Brink

Did you know:

• the greatest extinction event of all time wasn’t the death of the dinosaurs? 
• humans deliberately wiped some species like the dodo, the Thylacine and the Great Auk?
• the actions of today’s young people could be critical in preserving the earth’s future?

This book examines extinction events throughout time with an underlying message about sustainability and the environment. By studying the past, students are given a broad understanding about how and why life on Earth has changed. By studying the present, they identify ways in which humans have accelerated the rate of decline of species worldwide. By looking to the future, students are empowered to identify ways in which they can help to reverse this trend.
