What is going to happen to planet earth and the future of its wildlife? This challenging new book draws attention to the most pressing environmental concerns - and suggests positive ways to prevent future damage.Blue Peter Animal Watch explains the issues - from the loss of habitats and the effects of climate change to hunting and the debate on the role of zoos. Hands-on experiments show readers how to explore the science behind the facts while action globes suggest ways to make a difference on a daily basis. To highlight what is already being done eyewitness reports from professionals including a wildlife vet in Britain and a koala rescue expert in Australia describe how their work is improving the chances of survival for the world's animals. Lively text written in clear non-technical language combines with dynamic images to draw attention to problems and suggest ways to protect our wildlife for the future.
