The plants and animals that live within these areas are also captured, including: the corals and fish of the Great Barrier Reef; the lemurs, aye-ayes and baobab trees of Madagascar; and the rare birds of Las Marismas and the Okefenokee swamp.

By drawing attention to the urgency of the problem, the book seeks to redress the balance, and preserve humanity's most precious heritage - the natural world.
