"Australia has lost more species of mammal than any other continent in the world and many other Australian animals are endangered. This book highlights both the folly of European approach to the Australian environment and the work of volunteers, scientists, farmers and environment works toward saving threatened species.

This book looks at over sixty species. It examines the reasons for their decline and what is being done to save them. It covers a broad range of interesting animals. It introduces a complex topic in a positive, realistic and simple way." (Source: back cover)
