Maps of the Environmental World: Conservation Areas

An original and highly visual route into conservation topics. Maps of countries and continents depict key environmental threats and conservation projects, such as wetland conservation in Europe and forestry initiatives in South America. Look at a world map to spot whale populations. See how air pollution is spread across Europe, or spot wildlife conservation zones in East Africa. Helping children to see how vulnerable ecosystems are affected by human activities, and what is being done to protect them, this topical book uses maps, photos and charts to explore soil erosion, forestry, the marine environment, air quality and species conservation.
