For those who are sure: the wonders of nature must be protected.
This encyclopedia is about the rare animals of our country. In it, you will learn where they live, what makes them remarkable, what puts them at risk, and what steps help preserve their species. You will learn:
• Where rare animals of Russia live and why their habitats are shrinking.
• What adaptations help them survive — and why today this is often not enough.
• What risks are posed by people and the elements (fires, poaching, destruction, and loss of habitats).
• What unexpected and interesting details lie behind the familiar names of animals.
And most importantly, the book will show that caring for rare species begins with simple things: learning, noticing, and protecting.
The book will be useful for younger and middle school students, parents, teachers, and anyone who loves the nature of Russia and wants to understand it without an overload of complicated terms.
