People are endangering the lives of animals. Burning fossil fuels is polluting the planet and damaging the health of animals around the world. Clearing wild land to make room for farms and new homes is destroying important habitats. Overfishing is depleting fish stocks and taking away food from other animals. Animals Under Threat examines these issues and many more. The book also suggests some of the ways in which people can make a difference and live in harmony with the animals on our planet.
