Biodiversity of Coasts

By Greg Pyers About

Biodiversity describes the variety of living things on Earth, in a particular place or in a particular ecosystem. It is essential to the survival of plants and animals but human activities have upset biodiversity and it is not under threat.
This book is part of an important new series for upper primary looking at the biodiversity of habitat types and ecosystems. It examines the threats and efforts to conserve biodiversity, and identifies biodiversity hotspots. Scientists estimate that up to 50 species become extinct every day, and human activities have sped up the natural rate of extinction by up to 1000 times.

Greg Pyers

Greg Pyers has written over 100 books for children and teenagers. He worked for many years in zoos, so it’s little wonder that many of his books are about wildlife. He has hosted and produced many hours of live satellite television broadcasts to schools, narrated and starred in several videos for children, and delivered many adult education programs. He became a full-time writer in 1998, following eight years as an educator in zoos and several years as a post-primary schoolteacher. His first fiction novel for young adults, Doublecrosshas been well received. The first book in the Jack Brown series was inspired during Greg’s time at the Jersey Zoo.
