This book has a simple message: if the birds die, we all die. Literally hundreds of bird species are in serious danger of extinction. We are their executioners, sometimes with gun and trap, but more often with the pesticides, bulldozers, and toxic wastes that destroy their habitats. And where they go, we will soon foolow, for birds are a litmus test of the environment.
Save the Birds is prehaps the most beautiful book ever published about the ecological crisis facing the earth today. It describes the major natural environments of the earth from the tropics to the polar regions, the roles played in those ecosystems by birds, and the effects that humans are having on them.
Threatened species from each environment are described and illustrated in detail; their conservation problems are discussed.
Save the Birds is at once a bird bird, a conservation book, and an environmental book.
