Amazon.com description: Product Description: Unlike other books about decline in species diversity, which typically discuss extinction, "Wildlife Survivors" focuses on species almost certainly destined to survive. Filled with line drawings, this book confronts the fact that wild plants and animals can't just "go somewhere else", as man has long assumed. The earth is rapidly running out of "someplace else's," and only select species will inhabit the same spaces with us in the future. Who are they? What forces, factors, and conditions are changing their habitats, and why are they uniquely able to adapt and thrive? From urban environments and landfills to fragmented forests and developed coastlines to protected areas of the countryside, author, artist, and naturalist John R. Quinn discusses who and what will do best in the next century. He also discusses at length what it really-means to preserve a habitat.
