Where have all the pandas gone?
From the bamboo forests of China--to near extinction. Today, there are only about 1,000 giant pandas left in the entire world.

In the well-received conversational style that sets this series apart, this book explores three basic questions about endangered species: Where have these animals gone?, Why are they disappearing?, and Are people saving them?
The Bergers explain the disappearance of not only giant pandas, but also of mountain gorillas, monkeys, tigers, rhinoceroses, and bald eagles, to name a few.
