How much do we really know about the species that make up the
natural world? In this fascinating book Ken Thompson explains what
we do and don't understand about biodiversity. We know that most
species remain undiscovered, and that biodiversity is gravely
threatened - by overfishing, habitat loss, pollution and climate
change. Life on Earth has previously experienced five episodes of
mass extinction, and we are now in the middle of a sixth. Do We
Need Pandas? surveys the Earth's biodiversity, its origins and some
of the threats it currently faces. It then asks how biodiversity
loss will affect the human race. Will we even notice, and if we do,
what will we notice? It asks what we should be doing to secure the
survival not only of the species with which we share the planet,
but of ourselves - and whether we need to be more concerned about
ecosystems as a whole than about iconic species.
