Why do we care about some animals and not others? We are living through a mass extinction that is entirely human-caused. Biodiversity is essential for human life as we are deeply interconnected. We don’t even know how many species exist, so we can’t know how many we are losing. Using reliable sources, such as the Red List, we have compiled a short book of endangered species where you can choose your favorite animal, make a poster, and engage your cohort.
