Book SynopsisExtinction Planet offers young readers a clear, insightful look at Earth''s wildlife extinction crisisIt is estimated that out of around eight million species on Earth, at least one million plant and animal species are threatened with extinction, and that the current rate of extinction is up to 100 times higher than in any previous mass extinction. And it''s human activity that''s largely responsible for this frightening decline.Extinction Planet takes a non-alarmist, but truthful, look at Earth''s extinction crisis, explaining what a mass extinction is, how they occur and what their repercussions can be. It explores how, as humankind has caused this latest biodiversity crisis, we also have the solutions to slow or stop its damage, from reining in overconsumption, rewilding natural places, making farming more planet-friendly, preventing overfishing and seriously tackling climate change. It also suggests ways we can all live in a more planet-friendly wayTable of Contents 1: GONE FOREVER 2: LIFE ON EARTH 3: UNDERSTANDING SPECIES 4: THE EXTINCTION RATE 5: CASE STUDY: NO MORE DINOSAURS 6: WE’RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER! 7: EXTINCTION AND HUMANS 8: CASE STUDY: STELLER’S SEA COW 9: TOO MANY PEOPLE? 10: THREATS TO WILDLIFE 11: CONSERVATION 12: KEEPING TRACK 13: CASE STUDY: ENDANGERED SEAGRASS 14: A SAFE PLACE TO LIVE 15: WILDLIFE LAWS 16: SPREADING THE WORD 17: ECOTOURISM 18: CASE STUDY 19: WOLONG NATURE RESERVE 20: WHAT CAN YOU DO? 21: EXTINCT PLANET? 22: GLOSSARY 23: FURTHER READING 24: INDEX
