Canada's Endangered Animals: Twelve Species at Risk of Disappearing Forever, (Paperback)

<p><b>A full-colour illustrated guide to animals at risk of extinction in Canada, from the Hackmatack-shortlisted illustrator behind <i>Canada Wild</i>.</b></p> <p>From musical songbirds to majestic mammals, many incredible animals call Canada home, but not all of them are thriving here. <i>Canada's Endangered Animals</i> introduces young readers to 12 species at risk of going extinct across the country due to climate change, poaching, disease, and human interference. These include the Gaspésie caribou, a species that once thrived in the Atlantic provinces and now only exists along the coast of Québec; the five-lined skink, a beautiful lizard with a bright blue tail that is being eaten up by ravenous raccoons; and the lonely northern spotted owl--only one of which has been born in the Canadian wild in years.</p> <p>Vibrantly illustrated by the artist behind the Hackmatack and Red Cedar-shortlisted <i>Canada Wild</i>, this accessible book for young readers includes profiles of each animal showcasing its habitat, diet, and population number, as well as fascinating facts and a What Are We Doing? section to explain how scientists and citizens are keeping these animals alive. Readers will also find advice on how they can help at home, from building a bat box to planting native flowers, as well as an illustrated map to locate each animal across the country.</p> <p>From the beaches of the east to the old growth forests of the west and the Arctic tundra of the north, <i>Canada's Endangered Animals</i> is the perfect guidebook for budding animal rescuers from coast to coast.</p>
