How are animals divided up? How many species are still to be discovered? Where in the world can wild mammals be found? And how 'wild' are they really? What are the most popular pets? How many species are extinct and how many are in danger? If there had only ever been 100 animals, then 10 are living and 90 are extinct! IF THE WORLD WERE 100 ANIMALS opens up discussions and includes tips on how to protect the world we share - supporting children in becoming global citizens and promoting empathy, kindness and self-awareness.
