Endangered mammals of North America

Book 1995

Since mammals first appeared on earth, more species have arisen and become extinct than the total number of species now living. Extinction is a natural part of life. Awareness of the need for wildlife preservation has increased steadily throughout the twentieth century. Nothing can bring back a lost species, and nobody knows for sure what is lost when an animal vanishes forever.
