Species on the edge of survival

This book is inspired by the IUCN Species of the Day 2010 web initiative, and serves as a guide to 365 of the world's species on the IUCN Red List. This list profiles a wide variety of species from the official list of threatened animal, fungi and plant. Each profile includes a photograph of the species, a location map describing the species' habitat, information on the level of threat (from "Least Concern" to "Extinct in the Wild"), and descriptions of why the species appears on the Red List.
