Product Description
There are many kinds of heroes in our world. In six multicolor, multicultural stories well learn about grownups and young people fighting against the odds to save wild birds--and about the birds themselves, some on the brink of extinction.

Puppet shows are part of a Protection Through Pride program educating the indigenous people of the cloud forests of Chiapas, Mexico, so that theyll join efforts to stop the habitat destruction and poaching threatening the colorful quetzals that share their forests. On Devils Slide Rock off the coast off California, well watch young scientists brave the crashing surf and steep cliffs to restore a colony murres wiped out in an oil spill. Despite the tensions of war in Israel, work continues to keep a handsome falcon from disappearing, and in the vast and rural wetlands of southcentral China, well see how the fates of black-necked cranes and impoverished villagers are tied together. Herculean efforts in New Zealand have helped save the black robin, once the worlds rarest songbird, and well learn how an international team from the American zoos and oreganizations in Sarawak has come up with a surprising plan to save jungle hornbills from being hunted for their feathers.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent!!   April 10, 2003
If you've ever thought that an endangered species was impossible to save, this book will prove you wrong. Saving Birds is a wonderful book, not only for children, but also for ADULTS. How inspiring to read about such motivated individuals and their creative ways to save endangered birds! Every story takes place in a different country around the world giving us a geography lesson on every page. I hope this book gets passed along not only to bird lovers, but to all nature lovers, and world explorers.
