Beacham's Guide to the Endangered Species of North America provides
information on over 1,200 animals and plants that are identified as
either endangered or threatened by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
This comprehensive resource profiles species that occur in North
America, both within and outside the boundaries of the U.S.
Species accounts are arranged taxonomically and include information
such as common and scientific names; status; the date of listing;
physical description; behavior; habitat; food; reproduction; threats;
and geographic range. Most entries are accompanied by one or more
full-color images.
Each entry concludes with a summary of conservation and recovery
efforts and the survival outlook for the species, along with a
bibliography and contacts for further information.
