Confronting an alarming rate of manmade destruction of wildlife habitats, scientists are rushing to discover new animal and plant species. Before it is too late, they are determined to record on paper what they may be helpless to preserve in reality. Renowned science writer Laurence Pringle takes young readers across the world in the company of these dedicated men and women. They will visit Brazil, where they’ll happen upon a new species of bird whose nest lies within sight of a major highway. In Romania, they’ll explore a cave, where they’ll find not one but thirty new animal species. And occasionally they will even find a species thought extinct. By the end of their travels, these same readers will have been made aware, both through the engaging text and full-color photographs, of the urgent need to protect the wilderness--before it really is too late.
