Description
Summary:	A shocking 1186 bird species risk becoming extinct in the next 100 years. Even worse, 182 of these are critically endangered - meaning they could be extinct in just 10 years. The good news is that there are many opportunities to help these species. This book highlights these, providing full information on each species. The challenge is to use these facts and figures to ensure that action takes place before it is too late.
