Features: The "Series of China's Rare Animals" is based on the "National Key Protected Wildlife List," presenting China's first- and second-class protected animals to young people in a richly illustrated format. The book covers a wide range of topics, contains abundant and accurate information, and helps readers understand the distribution, characteristics, habits, and endangered reasons of these animals. These animals are all nationally endangered or highly endangered species. Some have rare wild populations, with declining survival and reproductive abilities, and severe population decline; others are on the brink of extinction. No matter what measures humans take to save them, it will be too late, and they will eventually bid farewell to this planet they have inhabited for hundreds of thousands of years—. At that time, the only way for humans to see them will be to search for their appearance and posture in pictures. Scientific research confirms that the extinction of wild species poses a greater threat to humans than any other disaster. However, wildlife resources are still disappearing at an alarming rate on Earth. Shouldn’t the "ruling species" of the world reflect on our actions of conquering nature and altering the ecological environment? The original intention behind compiling the "Series of China's Rare Animals" is to call on people to show love to the natural world—animals—and to work together to protect the Earth, nature, and our friends—animals—so that every living creature on Earth can continue to thrive and multiply endlessly. This book is part of the series and covers a variety of animals, including reptiles, amphibians, and fish.
