Description

Why do species become endangered? How are scientists learning about endangered wildlife? What are people doing to conserve species and how can young people help? This book is richly illustrated with unique photos that Isabelle has taken over many years of observing endangered species in the field alongside the people who work to conserve them. Throughout, the author shares enchanting encounters and personal field stories: watching narwhals socialize in the Canadian Arctic, getting close to a Laysan albatross raising chicks on a remote Hawaiian island, spotting a rhinoceros on safari and even swimming with sea lions in the Galápagos Islands. Gone is Gone will inform, intrigue and inspire readers to take small steps toward big changes for endangered species around the world.

Gr 4-7-In this colorful and informative nonfiction title, Groc discusses threats to currently endangered animals. Beginning with an impassioned foreword from Jane Goodall, the book takes the reader on an adventure that remains informational, but still entertaining. Each wildlife encounter introduces an animal that is in danger. These brief yet encompassing passages offer an in-depth understanding of each endangered animal. Readers may take special interest in the section on endangered species in their backyard. This section provides suggestions on how to become a conscientious member of our planet and a steward for endangered species. VERDICT A refreshing look at endangered species. Especially recommended for secondary environmental science classrooms.-Brittany McMahon, Westernport Elementary School, MD
