Description
In 2007 only thirty Amur leopards remained in the wild. Scientists knew they needed to do more to help these big cats. However, details of the leopards' wild lives in their high-altitude forest home were still a mystery. With the help of new technology and the cooperation of scientists and governments around the world, people have learned more than ever before about these rare cats. An innovative plan is under way to give Amur leopards a more secure future. Can these cats rebound from the brink before it's too late?

Another wonderful book from Sandra Markle. This book shows young readers that science is an ongoing search for understanding. In this case, we see scientists trying to save Amur leopards from extinction, and so far they have been successful. Large color photographs and captions that encourage readers to look closely at them add to the reading experience.

Markle shows again why she's so popular with young readers. The story of these amazing, endangered animals is written with elementary age children in mind, with beautiful photos, large font and clear and concise text that informs without overwhelming. Highly recommended

I really liked this picture book about the Amur Leopards of Russia. It gave great background information about why the leopards are so endangered as well as information about the scientists working to save the leopards. My students are going to love this one.
