From the Series Mission Survival: Saving Earth's Endangered Animals
Whales are fascinating creatures. But, sadly, many of these wonderful animals are endangered. We urgently need to do more to protect whales.
This book reveals the many threats whales face, from hunting to the effects of climate change on their environment. It also explores the animals that live alongside whales and explains why they’re endangered. Readers will learn how scientists and conservationists study whales and use that knowledge to better protect them.
An inspirational section at the end of the book shows readers what they can do to develop their passion for conservation and whale protection and how they could build a future career in conservation too.
Saving the Whale will inspire every child to make it their mission to protect this beautiful animal.
