Habitat loss and degradation are currently the main anthropogenic
causes of species extinctions. The root cause is human
overpopulation. This unique volume provides, for the very first
time, a comprehensive overview of all threatened and recently
extinct mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fishes within the
context of their locations and habitats. The approach takes a
systematic examination of each biogeographic realm and region of
the world, both terrestrial and marine, but with a particular
emphasis on geographic features such as mountains, islands, and
coral reefs. It reveals patterns useful in biodiversity
conservation, helps to put it all into perspective, and ultimately
serves as both a baseline from which to compare subsequent
developments as well as a standardization of the way threatened
species are studied.
