Back from Near Extinction
Scientists estimate that thousands of species are going extinct every year. Such a loss of species can have devastating effects on local ecosystems and food chains.

With clear text, vivid photos, and helpful diagrams, Back from Near Extinction provides examples of how dedicated scientists have saved threatened species from disappearing forever. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. Core Library is an imprint of Abdo Publishing, a division of ABDO.
