"The giant panda is the world's most beloved animal -- and one
of the rarest."
"Firefly Animal Rescue" is a new series of books about
endangered and threatened species and what is being done to protect
them. It is aimed at readers aged 10 and up with accessible text
and color photographs.
Each book introduces readers to a featured animal, explains the
threats it is facing, and explores efforts to protect it. Young
readers will be inspired by the leading scientists and
conservationists who work in the field, in labs and on the public
stage. The books conclude with additional resources for those who
want to help.
Panda Rescue takes readers into the remote bamboo forests of
China, where scientists can spend years without ever seeing the
elusive animal. It looks inside one of the largest breeding centres
in China and reveals some controversial attempts to save the
species. And it explains how our fascination with captive pandas
has become a threat of its own.
Tracing the colorful history of the black-and-white bear, Panda
Rescue shows why many conservationists remain hopeful about the
animal's future.
