It is an accessibly written tour of species on the brink by rising star Megan McCubbin, a younger naturalist and science communicator. With twenty percent of the earth's species facing extinction by 2030, this striking atlas brings up to date the data on those that have been lost already, those that are threatened, and those that are surviving today. Plants such as vines, fungi such as mushrooms, and insects such as butterflies live in the rain forest canopy.Vividly illustrated with full-color maps and detailed graphics, The Atlas of Endangered Species catalogs the inhabitants of a wide variety of ecosystems, including forests, mangroves, and coral reefs.
