Habitat loss and degradation are currently the main anthropogenic causes of species extinctions. The root cause is human overpopulation. This unique volume provides, for the very first time, a comprehensive overview of all threatened and recently extinct mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fishes within the context of their locations and habitats. The approach takes a systematic examination of each biogeographic realm and region of the world, both terrestrial and marine, but with a particular emphasis on geographic features such as mountains, islands, and coral reefs. It reveals patterns useful in biodiversity conservation, helps to put it all into perspective, and ultimately serves as both a baseline from which to compare subsequent developments as well as a standardization of the way threatened species are studied.

"Amphibians are facing an extinction crisis, but getting to the facts has been difficult. "Threatened Amphibians of the World" is a visual journey through the first-ever comprehensive assessment of the conservation status of the world's 6,000 known species of frogs, toads, salamanders, and caecilians. All 1,900 species known to be threatened with extinction are covered, including a description of threats to each species and an evaluation of conservation measures in place or needed. Each entry includes a photograph or illustration of the species where available, a distribution map, and detailed information on range, population and habitat and ecology. Introductory chapters present a detailed analysis of the results, complemented by a series of short essays written by many of the world's leading herpetologists. Appendices include annoted lists of lower risk species and a country-by-country listing of threatened amphibians."--pub. desc.

The Earth is currently experiencing an extinction crisis due to the exploitation of the planet by humans. According to the IUCN Red List, more than 31,000 species are threatened with extinction ¿ 27% of all assessed species. Are we in the midst of a global mass extinction event? Australia has one of the worst recent extinction records of any continent, with more than 100 species of vertebrates becoming extinct since the first people arrived over 50 thousand years ago; more than 300 animal and 1,000 plant species are now threatened with imminent extinction. Most of Australia¿s wildlife is found nowhere else in the world, making its conservation even more important. This book explores the state of the world¿s wildlife and examines the factors which are threatening their survival in Australia and globally, including habitat destruction, overexploitation, wildlife trading and poaching, pollution, and the devastating impacts of climate change in the form of droughts and bushfires. What about wildlife conservation? How can humankind better protect the planet¿s biodiversity ¿ including wildlife and their habitats ¿ to prevent more species from becoming extinct?
