From the Back Cover: What do the whooping crane, humpback whale, and giant panda have in common? These animals and many others are endangered species-species in danger of becoming extinct. Unfortunately, they may all disappear from the earth forever if we do not act now to save them. Each book in the Saving Endangered Species series examines the characteristics and habitat of an animal at risk of extinction. The books explain why these animals are endangered and what conservationists and governments are doing to try to save them. They also suggest simple but important ways in which you, the reader, can help save these endangered species.
