Synopsis Why Do Animals Become Extinct? by : Bobbie Kalman

The extinction of the dinosaurs may have been the result of an asteroid hitting Earth or an Ice Age freezing them to death. Today, animals such as elephants, zebras, tigers and leopards, some wolves, and many kinds of primates may still face extinction due to climate change, habitat loss, hunting, poaching, and pollution. This fascinating book introduces and explains the designations of endangerment--from extinct in the wild to vulnerable.

Synopsis The Status and Distribution of Reptiles and Amphibians of the Mediterranean Basin by : Neil Cox

The Mediterranean-rim countries hold around 400 million people and 135 million of them live on the coast. A steady migration towards coastal areas, specifically in the south and east of the Mediterranean, is causing pressure on the coastal environment and, more importantly, on its biodiversity. In this second Mediterranean regional assessment, all the reptile and amphibian species existing within the region of study have been evaluated for their global conservation status. This assessment aims to assist in regional planning and to help identify internationally important sites for biodiversity. Like the first in the series, it also hopes to encourage development of a network of regional experts to enable future assessments and the continued updating of the baseline dataset.
