Why is the Javan Rhino one of the world’s most threatened large mammals? What efforts are underway to help conserve the 47 remaining Floreana Mockingbirds of Ecuador? Why is there a dramatic decline in the Globosa Mangrove? You can find answers to these and many more questions in a unique anthology, Species on the Edge of Survival, published by Collins.

The book, inspired by Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥â€™s Species of the Day initiative, features a selection of 365 plants, animals and fungi listed on The Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ Red List of Threatened Speciesâ„¢. Each profile includes a description of the species, its conservation status, geographical range and the conservation action that is needed to protect it. All of this is accompanied by a striking photograph of the species, making the book a must-read for nature lovers, young and old.
