Lost wonders : 10 tales of extinction from the 21st century / Tom Lathan ; illustrations, Claire Kohda.

Lathan, Tom, (author. ). Kohda, Claire, (illustrator. ).

Summary:

In 'Lost Wonders' author and journalist Tom Lathan tells the powerful stories of ten species that have lived, died out and been declared extinct since the turn of the 21st century. Many scientists believe that we are currently living through the Earth's sixth mass extinction, with species disappearing at a rate not seen for tens of millions of years - a trend that will only accelerate as climate change and other pressures intensify. What does it mean to live in such a time? And what exactly do we lose when a species goes extinct?
