More interesting than a picture book, and much more fun than an encyclopedia!
There are not many animals left on Earth, so they are becoming more and more precious.
A really, really vivid story!

Animals are disappearing! When a species' population gradually declines and eventually disappears completely from the Earth, this is called "extinction."
So, dinosaurs that lived on Earth a long time ago but can no longer be seen are extinct animals.
But extinction isn't just about dinosaurs.
There are a surprising number of endangered animals on Earth today.
For example, large animals such as elephants, rhinoceroses, and giraffes are mostly in danger of extinction.
Also, predators such as tigers and snow leopards, and marine animals such as blue whales, great white sharks, sea otters, and dugongs could disappear at any time.

In fact, scientists say that 'the rate of extinction of animals and plants is accelerating, and by 2050, 30 to 50 percent of all plants and animals living on Earth could disappear.'
They also warn that just as dinosaurs disappeared from the Earth, not only plants and animals but also humans could soon become extinct.
Something truly terrifying was happening without us even knowing it! So, starting now, we must protect and safeguard the precious animals that are few and far between on Earth.
If you learn in detail about where and how endangered animals live and why they are in danger through this book, you will also realize what we need to do in the future.
The future of the Earth and its animals depends on us!

▣ Features of this book

1.
Meet endangered animals that are on the verge of extinction from Earth.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) publishes the 'Red List' every two to five years, which indicates the state of extinction risk of plants and animals.
It's like a red card that we see in a soccer match, it's like 'nature's warning to us'.
This book introduces 47 representative species of animals classified as 'critically endangered', 'endangered', or 'vulnerable' on the Red List.
What happened to these animals?

2.
Through the stories of animals, we realize the seriousness of the Earth's ecosystem.
This book contains some unfamiliar animals, like the aye-aye and the huon tree kangaroo, but also animals we know very well, like the panda, the camel, and the elephant.
These animals live in different places and are of different species, but they all have one thing in common.
The reason why things are so dangerous is because of ‘people.’
Through the stories told by animals, we vividly examine what has happened to them, how the Earth's ecosystem is changing, and consider what we should do in the future.

3.
Observe the animal's features in detail with large, realistic illustrations.
I carefully observed the animal's appearance and characteristics and drew it realistically, down to every single strand of hair and wrinkle.
So it's as vivid as observing a live animal right in front of your eyes.
Also, we have enlarged and added additional pictures to show the characteristic parts in more detail and explained them in an easy-to-understand way.


4.
Various formats, such as ‘4-panel comics,’ increase the fun of reading the book.
To make reading the book more fun, we added fun elements such as ‘comparisons with other animals’ and ‘4-panel comics.’
So, although it is a book with a lot of text, it feels easy to read like a picture book.
Also, because reading books is not boring or difficult, you become more familiar with them.


5.
We also provide detailed information on classification, size, diet, habitat, etc.
We've also organized detailed information, including classification, length, weight, number of offspring and eggs, lifespan, diet, and habitat, for your convenience.
Thanks to this, you can naturally learn about the ecological characteristics of animals and compare them with other animals.
