"The Lost and left Behind: Stories from the Age of Extinctions"

However it is not just plants and animals that are becoming extinct at an alarming rate (one species every 10 minutes for animals, one vegetable variety every 6 hours); languages, traditions, and cultures are also disappearing from our world, never to return. Award winning Canadian author, Terry Glavin, has tirelessly researched these precious thigns we are losing fast. As he explores the history of extinctions, Glavin uncovers the hidden story of a long human struggle to conserve the living things in the world, and finds hope in unexpected places.
