Heroes Who Saved A Species Bookshelf
Extinction called.
Real-life heroes answered.
Here are three stories about humans saving species! It's not all doom and gloom. It's hard work, and it can take decades. But we can save species from extinction.
The Amazing and Weird Przewalski's Horse
The Asian wild horse (a different species than domestic horses!) was Extinct in the Wild. This book includes a photo of the last known photo of the species in the wild. Over decades, dedicated scientists have fought to save the species and it now numbers 3000+ throughout the world.
A Galapagos Giant Tortoise Species
The tortoises of Espanola Island were almost gone. Then scientists found one more tortoise at the San Diego Zoo and named him Diego. He is now grandfather to a revived species.
Pumas Living in Urban Areas
In Brazil, pumas (also known as mountain lions or cougars) live in urban areas. This is the poignant story of one puma cub who was orphaned when his mother died. Can humans and animals learn to share their habitat?
