Dave Taylor's exciting Endangered Animals Series explains why some species have become extinct and what is being done to protect the animals currently threatened. Divided by habitat, each book features approximately ten animals describing:
-- their behavior
-- how they live
-- how they have adapted to their climate
-- why various habitats are essential to the earth
-- why the destruction of these ecosystems is so disastrous to the wildlife that inhabit them

The special problems faced by island animals such as imported predators and overhunting has put a number of island species on the endangered list. Animals include:
-- green sea turtles
-- giant tortoises
-- lemurs
-- land iguana
-- Rothchild's myna
-- monk seals
-- American crocodile
-- mouflon
