World of Animals Annual 2022

Published 25th November 2021 The animal kingdom is a fascinating, beautiful and complex world, but it faces an uncertain future. In the past year alone we’ve seen the devastating impact bushfires have had on various populations, as well as theories surrounding COVID-19 being linked to wildlife trade. Here we explore some of the threats faced by 25 of the world’s most endangered creatures and meet the animals that owe their continued existence to the vital Endangered Species Act of 1973. There are also in-depth features on animal behaviour, weird and wonderful pets, and the natural world’s true survivors, while we get up close and personal with some of the planet’s most remarkable creatures.
