Species on the Edge of Survival

Why is the Javan Rhino one of the world’s most threatened large mammals? What efforts are underway to help conserve the 47 remaining Floreana Mockingbirds of Ecuador? Why is there a dramatic decline in the Globosa Mangrove? You can find answers to these and many more questions in a unique anthology, Species on the Edge of Survival, published by Collins.

The book, inspired by IUCN’s Species of the Day initiative, features a selection of 365 plants, animals and fungi listed on The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™. Each profile includes a description of the species, its conservation status, geographical range and the conservation action that is needed to protect it. All of this is accompanied by a striking photograph of the species, making the book a must-read for nature lovers, young and old.
