A fascinating look at endangered animals and what zoos and wildlife organisations are doing to increase the chances of survival for a number of species.
Did you know?
The Tasmanian Tiger was wiped out within fifty years of European settlement in Australia. The Mountain Pygmy Possum was thought to be extinct until one was discovered in an alpine hut in 1966. There are about 800 Red Pandas living in captivity around the world but only about 500 left in the wild.
Many animals are on the edge of extinction. For some species it's too late, but for others there is still hope. Endangered! Working to Save Animals at Risk takes the reader behind the scenes for a fascinating look at what zoos, conservation groups and researchers are doing to help these endangered animals and increase their chances of survival.
