Endangered species / Bily, Cynthia A

Collects fifteen articles that present diametrically-opposed arguments pertaining to the plight of endangered species, covering topics such as the importance of protecting wildlife, the loss of the world's rainforests, the impact of the military's use of sonar on deep-diving whales, and the ramifications of drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

Contains sixteen essays that offer varying perspectives on issues related to endangered species, including the seriousness of extinction, the effectiveness of the Endangered Species Act and tiger farms, and whether the needs of humans are more important than the protection of animals; and provides quick facts, a glossary, contact information for organizations, and a bibliography.
