Book Description
Many scientists believe that the world has begun a sixth mass extinction- the first to be caused by humans. Other recent analyses have revealed that humankind has destroyed 83% of all mammals and half of plants since the dawn of civilization. If the destruction were to end now, it would take 5-7 million years for the natural world to recover.Wildlife conservation is the practice of protecting wild species and their habitats to prevent species from going extinct. Major threats to wildlife include habitat destruction, overexploitation, poaching, pollution, and climate change. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) estimates that 27,000 species are at risk for extinction. There have been both national and international governmental and nongovernmental organizations (NGO's) dedicated to conservation efforts to preserve Earth's wildlife. Our children are born into a world that has been polluted and destroyed by our ancestors and us. They are the next generation who can make a change to stop this, and they are putting an effort to do so. School strikes and protests organized by young adults are continuing all around the world. Teenagers are pushing hard for their voice to be heard to the political leaders to take action to prevent climate change and fossil fuel industry to transition to renewable energy because they do not want to live in a world like this anymore. I have written these conservation stories to make the children more aware and help them grow conscious about the wildlife species. Some of these species are more at risk for extinction than others, such as orangutans, whales, and elephants, which play a crucial role in climate change and the ecosystem. This book is not just for children who are above seven years old but also for the adults who want to know more about conservation and climate change.

Man's Dominion

ISBN:
Category : Conservation of natural resources
Languages : en
Pages : 362
Book Description
The story of men and women who shaped the conservation movement in America, from the late 19th century to the present, is a story of controversy, failure, and intermittent triumph. Ironically, many of the dedicated leaders of the earliest animal protection movements were hunters themselves, motivated as much by a desire to enhance their sport as by conscience. Many more worked simply out of moral conviction. Often using their own words, Frank Graham tells of Guy Bradley, Gifford Pinchot, John Muir, Steve Mather, William Temple Hornaday, Rosalie Edge, Rachel Carson, and more.
