Almost two hundred species of birds have become extinct in the past
400 years, and a similar number today are in imminent danger of
following them. The world's conservationists are leading the fight
to prevent the demise of these remaining critically endangered
birds, with a fair degree of success. This new book examines the
process and issues concerning extinction - how and why it happens
and what can be done about it. Whilst man is to blame for many of
the causes, such as persecution and habitat loss, species have
become extinct on a regular basis since life began. After several
thought-provoking introductory chapters, the book showcases about
20 species on the brink of extinction from around the world and
describes the work that is being undertaken to save them. Some are
success stories, but a few are not. This is a subject close to the
hearts of all birders and ornithologists and this book, written by
a team of leading conservationists, will strike a chord in most of
them.
