Our beautiful planet is in danger: the warning signs are there,
year after year – from vast forest fires across Australia to
coral bleaching in the Pacific and the rapid break up of polar ice
and the consequent rise in sea levels, threatening low-lying
coastal communities everywhere. Arranged by continent, Endangered
Places introduces the reader to many of the most stunning natural
locations from the around the world that are currently under
threat. Learn about the magnificent Bornean rainforest, home to
threatened species such as orangutans, probiscis monkeys and the
Sumatran rhinoceros; marvel at the beauty of the Great Barrier
Reef, stretching 2,300 kilometres along Australia’s east coast
and built by billions of tiny organisms, known as coral polyps;
explore the Aral Sea, formerly the fourth largest lake in the world
and today less than 10 per cent of it’s original size after the
rivers that fed it were diverted by Soviet irrigation projects; and
understand the process of desertification, which has led to the
huge expansion of the Sahara Desert and the dramatic shrinkage of
Lake Chad. Illustrated with more than 180 photographs of more than
100 threatened locations, Endangered Places celebrates the beauty
of our planet while reminding us of how easily this can be lost
through human behaviour and climate change.
