A century ago, 100,000 tigers roamed the forests of Asia. Today,
only a few thousand remain, thanks to shrinking habitat and a
lucrative trade in tiger parts.
"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.
Tiger Rescue takes readers to India, where whole villages are
being moved to make room for tigers; to the Russian Far East, where
rangers risk their lives to stop poachers supplying the black
market in Asian medicines; and to the forests of Malaysia and
Sumatra, where farmers and tigers struggle to share the land.
Along the way, some of the world's top tiger conservationists
show that hard work and determination can bring this mighty cat
back from the brink.
