MEET THREATENED SPECIES

AUTHOR TOM JACKSON PUBLISHER AMBER BOOKS PRICE £19.99 / $29.99 RELEASE 14 JUNE

In 200 stunning images, this book reveals around 100 animal species that are on the brink of extinction around the world. Using information produced by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), author Tom Jackson has compiled an album of images that show these animals in their natural habitats before they’re lost from the world.

In a celebration of life and wild diversity, readers can expect some shocking statistics about wildlife populations, such as the black rhino, which has only around 3,500 specimens left in the wild. There’s also a whole host of animals that readers may discover for the first time, such as one of the rarest birds on Earth, the New Zealand kakapo. What’s poignant about this book is that its chapters are split into all the world’s continents, signifying that no matter where you are in the world, there are animals that are on the verge of extinction.
