A detailed exploration of the variety of threats that endangered species are facing around the world, whether they are due to human impact or so-called natural causes. Endangered species is a more complex issue and problem than it may seem on the surface. What species are endangered, and what is causing them to become vulnerable to population decline? How can essential industries such as farming, housing development, and manufacturing continue to thrive without harming flora and fauna that are protected? Are current efforts adequate or should more be done to protect endangered species? And who should be responsible for the substantial costs of working to save endangered species? Endangered Species: A Reference Handbook begins with an introduction that addresses major threats and extinctions in history, discusses the geographical and cultural contexts in which these incidents happened, highlights other key moments along the endangered species timeline, and clearly shows why the topic of endangered species matters. The following sections examine an unbiased synthesis of classic and contemporary studies that inform the issue of endangered species and outline the most controversial events related to endangered species and the actions that have been taken to address them. The book also presents perspective essays by scholars, activists, and other experts to provide diverse informed opinions on the issue of endangered species and includes a data and documents chapter that applies research finding to provide answers to questions like what species are most likely to become endangered in the future and which practices have historically been the most effective at protecting vulnerable species.

This book uses primary documents as a lens through which to examine historical and present-day efforts to protect endangered species in the United States and around the world. In this thought-provoking work, author Edward P. Weber examines the values, policies, challenges, and approaches to endangered species conservation over the past 200 years. Using primary source documents and in-depth analysis of the issues, the reference tracks the evolution of species protection and conservation in the United States, and offers a brief look at global programs in the United States and other parts of the world. The book surveys how different countries are faring in protecting their plant and animal life, and considers which guidelines and programs hold the most promise for success in the future. Chapters compare and contrast past and present attitudes regarding endangered species and extinction and identify the influence of major organizations and individuals central to the debate over endangered species. Judiciously selected primary documents also explore the impact of species endangerment and loss on natural ecosystems—and ultimately, on humankind itself.

What People Are Saying Youngsters who are animal lovers are our future. I call them Starlion cubs: Stars because they shine so brightly and cubs because they have lion hearts that are so brave and true, they are prepared to do anything for the animals they love. If you have a Starlion cub as your child, you're the luckiest mom or dad in the world, and this special animal lovers' book, Endangered Species Have Feelings Too, is for you. --Linda Tucker Author, Saving the White Lions; Conservationist; CEO, Global White Lion Protection Trust ***** Alexandra Delis-Abrams' book, Endangered Species Have Feelings Too, is certain to become a "primer" for the new generation of children that will be in tune with the animal world around them and thereby experiencing the joy in celebrating their coexistence with them. It will also inspire that generation to honor and revere the breadth of the life force on our planet. We are facing one of humanities greatest challenges as the natural world continues to be degraded. It will be through sensitive and genuine guidance by people like Alexandra that we will prevail. --Urmas Kaldveer, PhD Executive Director, The Mendocino Institute of Science and History Author, The Others: "The Whale People" a Personal Journey of Discovery, Transformation, and Healing ***** The need to educate future generations of the human impact on the natural world is of monumental global importance--as well as discovering how we learn to cooperate and live together on this precious planet. After reviewing this meaningful and relevant book, Endangered Species Have Feelings Too, I see countless ways this can be utilized in the school environment for compassion training and emotional awareness. I applaud Alexandra Delis-Abrams for teaching children how to imagine standing in the shoes of one of these endangered species, as well as how each person's contribution can make a life-changing difference. This is social-emotional-learning at its best and can be appreciated by children and adults worldwide. --Teri McKenna, LMSW School Social Worker, Hailey Elementary School, Hailey, Idaho ***** My appreciation and kudos to Alexandra Delis-Abrams on her new and unique educational/coloring book, Endangered Species Have Feelings Too. As we try to protect the animals that are endangered on our planet for "seven generations," we must start educating this generation now. The wonderful illustrations by Kim Howard and complimentary short stories by Alexandra get the message across to the children and adults that it is respect for the animal kingdom that is so urgently needed today. --Tewatennietha she sends Evans Elder of the Mohawk Nation Kahnawake, Mohawk Territory, Quebec, Canada ***** First, I like to say congratulations for your book. It is very educational, easy to understand, and I really enjoyed the way each endangered species narrated his natural history, important facts, and threats. Well done! As a biologist, I recognize how important and needed books are like this one! Endangered Species Have Feeling Too brings the readers into the perspective of the different reasons why we have critically endangered animals all around the world. Some of the species you selected were new species for me, so reading your book made me aware of the current status of new species, thanks a lot. --Victor M.
