With an engaging, scrapbook-style layout and an urgent message, these entries in the Last Chance to Save series will have no trouble grabbing readers' attention. Bold, well-designed spreads feature the flora, fauna, and locales of planet Earth that are in danger of disappearing. The pages are packed in Endangered Plants, which offers the most individual profiles of the bunch; the destruction of rain forests, where a massive number of plants live, is having a staggering effect on extinction rates. Each photo-illustrated spread contains fast facts about the species, group, or location; what threatens their existence; and steps that are being taken to save them. Brief notes on conservation and humanitarian groups will spur further reading, and a final map helps contextualize. A good starting point for young activists.
