1. 1. Lost Wonders

   

   "Lost Wonders" by Tom Lathan explores the stories of ten species that have become extinct since the early 2000s. The book delves into the current era of mass extinction, highlighting the rapid disappearance of species due to climate change and other environmental pressures. Through vivid narratives, Lathan brings these extinct species to life, from giant tortoises to tiny snails, and offers a poignant reflection on what their loss means for our world. The book combines personal accounts from those who studied and attempted to save these creatures, alongside evocative illustrations, to paint a picture of the urgent need to protect the biodiversity that remains.
