    About this ebook

    This book introduces readers to a range of endangered animals found in Africa. Readers learn basic facts about each animal, and also why the animal’s habitat is threatened. The book also considers what people can do to help, both at an international level and at the level of the readers themselves. Habitat maps, fact boxes, labels, and captions all combine to aid understanding.
