All over the world, people are trying to save animals from becoming extinct. This book tells the story of four successful attempts, in four chapters. Learn how 60 years ago, there were only 21 whooping cranes in the world, and now there are over 400, due to the efforts of the Whooping Crane Eastern Partnership. They collected eggs, incubated them to hatch, raised the birds, and even used ultra-light airplanes to teach them to fly. The book also has interesting stories about seals, elephants, and polar bears. The stories may inspire you to make your own efforts to conserve wildlife.
