Extinction Planet offers young readers a clear, insightful look at
Earth's wildlife extinction crisis It is estimated that out of
around eight million species on Earth, at least one million plant
and animal species are threatened with extinction, and that the
current rate of extinction is up to 100 times higher than in any
previous mass extinction. And it's human activity that's largely
responsible for this frightening decline. Extinction Planet takes a
non-alarmist, but truthful, look at Earth's extinction crisis,
explaining what a mass extinction is, how they occur and what their
repercussions can be. It explores how, as humankind has caused this
latest biodiversity crisis, we also have the solutions to slow or
stop its damage, from reining in overconsumption, rewilding natural
places, making farming more planet-friendly, preventing overfishing
and seriously tackling climate change. It also suggests ways we can
all live in a more planet-friendly way, from global changes such as
investing in renewable energy sources, to individual actions such
as buying sustainable products and eating less meat and fish.
Following on from Plastic Planet, Hot Planet, Recycled Planet and
Sustainable Planet, Extinction Planet features the same blend of
illustrations and photos and a striking cover, and is written by
the award-winning author Anna Claybourne. Aimed at readers aged 9
and up.
