AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Tarkine the Tasmanian tiger declares that there is no future in extinction - and he should know! Tarkine and his crew take off in his trusty tiger biplane to visit some of the world's most endangered species. Meet his arch-enemy, the 'Time Bandit', who wants to chime his bells for species he thinks have done their time. Learn about the threats to species from increasing water temperatures, pollution, rising sea levels, deforestation and habitat reduction, as well as over-harvesting and poaching. Tarkine tells us what we can do to preserve our endangered species and the wonderful gift of our natural environment.' (Publication summary)
