Science & Natural History

Many scientists believe that we are on the brink of a new mass extinction, with at least a million species in danger of not making it through to the end of the century. How can we possibly turn this tide? The answer lies in our own hands. Through conservation action, and by subtly reforming the ways in which we live, we can still give these plants and animals a chance. In "Going, Going, Gone", the first book of its kind, 100 conservation organisations around the world each nominate the species that gives them most cause for concern. Between them, they provide an overview of the work that we need to do now to save these and the hundreds of thousands of other similarly placed species before they're gone. With magnificent photography and fascinating facts about the wildlife, and what needs to be done in order to save it, this book includes our own endangered yellow-eyed penguin.
