Endangered Species

By Lauri S. Friedman

Book Overview

When the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives tells us that climate change is a significant threat to plant and animal species, are we going to do something about it? It's difficult to say when even Presidential platforms argue that climate change is pure fiction. To any reasoning, answer-seeking individual, the writing is on the wall. Our impact on earth has accelerated the natural rate of extinction from one to five species per year to 1,000 times over the natural rate. Dozens of species are going extinct per day. This must-have volume sets aside the hype to provide readers with intelligent viewpoints on engendered species and what's causing it. Readers will use critical thinking skills to form intelligent, necessary opinions. Essay sources include Agence France-Presse, P.R. Newswire, National Wildlife Federation, and the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives.
