Booklist - 06/01/2018 With an engaging, scrapbook-style layout and an urgent message, these entries in the Last Chance to Save series will have no trouble grabbing readers’ attention. Bold, well-designed spreads feature the flora, fauna, and locales of planet Earth that are in danger of disappearing. Despite its worrisome title, Endangered People handles a difficult topic with grace, focusing on the problems that indigenous people around the world face today, often from governments and industrial corporations. Each photo-illustrated spread contains fast facts about the species, group, or location; what threatens their existence; and steps that are being taken to save them. Brief notes on conservation and humanitarian groups will spur further reading, and a final map helps contextualize. A good starting point for young activists. - Copyright 2018 Booklist.
