A fun, rhyming, rhythmical story which focuses on the importance of a habitat generation through the journey of a dung bettle and the friends it meets along its way. This beautifully illustrated story with facts and photo pages at the end introduces children (and their adults) to the important, urgent conservation and global issues we face today and how to begin to solve them. The main focuses and underlying themes will be the importance of improving biodiversity and the need to take care of entire ecosystems by looking at the bigger picture and above all, the importance of holistic resource management and soil health if we are to have a future on this planet.

It aims to develop an understanding of: ecology and the complex interactions occurring in an ecosystem, the importance of practical investigation in the ecology of plant and animal communities, the fact that conservation can occur at local, national and international levels, different interest groups and their objectives when setting up a conservation programme. To help the student, learning objectives are listed at the start of each chapter and self-assessment questions are scattered throughout the text. Answers to these are provided at the back of the book. Each chapter concludes with a summary and longer questions.
