Rarity and extinction in the futureReferences 330 $a"Almost two hundred species of birds have become extinct in the past 400 years, and a similar number today are in imminent danger of following them. The world's conservationists are leading the fight to prevent the demise of these remaining critically endangered birds, with a fair degree of success. This new book examines the process and issues concerning extinction - how and why it happens and what can be done about it. Whilst man is to blame for many of the causes, such as persecution and habitat loss, species have become extinct on a regular basis since life began. After several thought-provoking introductory chapters, the book showcases about 20 species on the brink of extinction from around the world and describes the work that is being undertaken to save them. Some are success stories, but a few are not. This is a subject close to the hearts of all birders and ornithologists and this book, written by a team of leading conservationists, will strike a chord in most of them."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aExtinct birds 606 $aRare birds$xGeographical distribution 606 $aRare birds 606 $2Birds (ornithology) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aExtinct birds. 615 0$aRare birds$xGeographical distribution. 615 0$aRare birds. 676 $a598.168 702 $aDonald$b Paul F. 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458908503321 996 $aFacing extinction$92440715 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01183nam0 22003013i 450 001 UBO0248940 005 20231121125852.0 100 $a20140709d1995 ||||0itac50 ba 101 | $aita 102 $ait 181 1$6z01$ai $bxxxe 182 1$6z01$an 200 1 $aBruner nell'educazione postindustriale$fGiuseppe Refrigeri 210 $aNapoli$cTecnodid$d1995 stampa 215 $a253 p.$d24 cm. 225 | $aMeridiani e paralleli 410 0$1001VEA0039215$12001 $aMeridiani e paralleli 676 $a370.1$9Educazione.
