Download or read book Conservation Stories For Children written by Evren Sener and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-15 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many scientists believe that the world has begun a sixth mass extinction- the first to be caused by humans. Other recent analyses have revealed that humankind has destroyed 83% of all mammals and half of plants since the dawn of civilization. If the destruction were to end now, it would take 5-7 million years for the natural world to recover.Wildlife conservation is the practice of protecting wild species and their habitats to prevent species from going extinct. Major threats to wildlife include habitat destruction, overexploitation, poaching, pollution, and climate change. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) estimates that 27,000 species are at risk for extinction. There have been both national and international governmental and nongovernmental organizations (NGO's) dedicated to conservation efforts to preserve Earth's wildlife. Our children are born into a world that has been polluted and destroyed by our ancestors and us. They are the next generation who can make a change to stop this, and they are putting an effort to do so. School strikes and protests organized by young adults are continuing all around the world. Teenagers are pushing hard for their voice to be heard to the political leaders to take action to prevent climate change and fossil fuel industry to transition to renewable energy because they do not want to live in a world like this anymore. I have written these conservation stories to make the children more aware and help them grow conscious about the wildlife species. Some of these species are more at risk for extinction than others, such as orangutans, whales, and elephants, which play a crucial role in climate change and the ecosystem. This book is not just for children who are above seven years old but also for the adults who want to know more about conservation and climate change.

Download or read book Man s Dominion written by Frank Graham and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of men and women who shaped the conservation movement in America, from the late 19th century to the present, is a story of controversy, failure, and intermittent triumph. Ironically, many of the dedicated leaders of the earliest animal protection movements were hunters themselves, motivated as much by a desire to enhance their sport as by conscience. Many more worked simply out of moral conviction. Often using their own words, Frank Graham tells of Guy Bradley, Gifford Pinchot, John Muir, Steve Mather, William Temple Hornaday, Rosalie Edge, Rachel Carson, and more.

Download or read book Wild Ones written by Jon Mooallem and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-05-16 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Intelligent and highly nuanced… This book may bring tears to your eyes." -- San Francisco Chronicle Journalist Jon Mooallem has watched his little daughter’s world overflow with animals butterfly pajamas, appliquéd owls—while the actual world she’s inheriting slides into a great storm of extinction. Half of all species could disappear by the end of the century, and scientists now concede that most of America’s endangered animals will survive only if conservationists keep rigging the world around them in their favor. So Mooallem ventures into the field, often taking his daughter with him, to move beyond childlike fascination and make those creatures feel more real. Wild Ones is a tour through our environmental moment and the eccentric cultural history of people and wild animals in America that inflects it—from Thomas Jefferson’s celebrations of early abundance to the turn-of the-last-century origins of the teddy bear to the whale-loving hippies of the 1970s. With propulsive curiosity and searing wit, and without the easy moralizing and nature worship of environmental journalism’s older guard, Wild Ones merges reportage, science, and history into a humane and endearing meditation on what it means to live in, and bring a life into, a broken world.
