Description
Biodiversity is the foundation for maintaining the balance between all living things. When species begin dying out, it upsets this delicate balance and can cause ecological tragedies. Earth's rainforests are homes to vast biodiversity. However, the rainforests are also one of Earth's most threatened habitats. There, animals risk losing their homes through pollution and deforestation. The information presented in this book highlights at-risk animal and plant species and discusses ways readers can lessen their carbon footprint. Colorful photographs of animals and habitats transport readers to distant locations where biodiversity takes center stage..
