A powerful look at Earth's biodiversity loss, focusing on animals from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species

Discover some of the rarest and most threatened insects on Earth, from the fascinating bloodsucking dracula ant to the brilliantly blue peacock tarantula. Find out where they are found, what they eat, their life cycle and the reasons why their survival is at risk. Most importantly, learn how conservation efforts are aiming to reverse their extinction.

Earth's rich biodiversity is at risk everywhere, thanks to devastating habitat loss, pollution, poaching and disease. Endangered Wildlife examines some of the world's most threatened species and explores what is being done to bring them back from the brink.

Aimed at readers aged 8 and up.
