"This book shows us the face of Earths sixth great mass extinction, revealing that this century is a time of darkness for the worlds birds and mammals. In The Annihilation of Nature, three of todays most distinguished conservationists tell the stories of the birds and mammals we have lost and those that are now on the road to extinction. These tragic tales, coupled with eighty-three color photographs from the worlds leading nature photographers, display the beauty and biodiversity that humans are squandering."--Book jacket.
