Everyone has heard of a polar bear and a cheetah, but what about a Malaysian tapir or a Kerry slug? In this spirited, evocative book, Simon Barnes, wildlife journalist and explorer, presents us with a challenging, at times highly emotive, account of 100 animals threatened by extinction and in need of human help as we enter the new millennium. Each chapter presents us afresh with the knock on effect of the animal's likely disappearance: how the future of the planet itself ultimately depends on the creatures that live on it.
