Wildlife rescue

Reptiles and amphibians need special help crossing roads. This book focuses on different approaches, from tiny turtle tunnels under railroad tracks in Japan, to salamander tunnels and turtle crossing guards in the U.S., to toad tunnels in the UK, and bucket brigades for frogs and toads in France.

Imagine coaxing a sick koala out of a tall tree or having an orphaned joey cling to you wherever you go. These adorable patients receive round-the-clock care at the only koala hospital in the world.

".. explores why orangutans are in danger, how they come to the care center, and the process of healing and rehabilitating [them] for return to the wild"--Back cover.
