Throughout sections titled "Wildlife Matters," "Endangered Species," "Endangered Spaces" and "How to Take Action," facts about nature and the environment are integrated with suggested activities that promote understanding of the concept of extinction, the impact of poison on the food chain and other ideas related to how people have affected the rest of the natural world. The emphasis is on how kids, both individually and together, can make a difference in helping the environment and reversing the trend of destruction by taking action in their homes, their communities and around the world. (Ages 7-11)

This timely and practical guide, written in cooperation with the World Wildlife Fund, explains why there are environmental problems and how kids can act to protect endangered species and endangered places. Filled with close-up illustrations of wild animals and plants, experiments to do at home, and suggestions for working alone and in groups.
