'This beautiful book introduces some of Australia’s endangered animals and aims to increase awareness of their plight, and in turn to help encourage greater respect and care for their habitats and the environment. 

'There is a natural, delicate balance that is disrupted when problems such as habitat destruction, disease and introduced predators push an increasing number of animals towards extinction. And disruption to this balance eventually threatens all forms of life, including human life. 

'Illustrated using paintings by Australian wildlife artist Natalie Jane Parker who is renowned for the sensitivity, detail, and beauty of her paintings, each one reflecting her passion for her subjects.' (Publication summary)
