Description
  Every corner of New Jersey harbors natural wildlife of such value that it attracts birders and other naturalists from around the world. With over 500 species calling the state home, New Jersey ranks as one of the most diverse wildlife habitats in the country. Yet dramatic habitat loss in the nations most densely populated state threatens this natural treasure. The race is on to save natural areas and the species dependent upon them for survival.

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife of New Jersey is a richly illustrated color guide to the state's seventy-three most imperiled species, from bobcats to bobolinks, shortnosed sturgeons to loggerhead turtles, frosted elfins to triangle floaters, blue whales to American burying beetles. Written primarily by the people who know these species best, the biologists of the New Jersey's Endangered and Nongame Species program, the book is divided into seven sections¾ mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects, and bivalves (mussels). Each animal is discussed individually including its ecology, distribution, and population status. Sixty-four detailed maps and more than one hundred spectacular color photos provide readers with a rare glimpse of these seldom-seen species.

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife of New Jersey is an extraordinary resource and educational tool for anyone interested in preserving the state's natural heritage and provides a valuable wake-up call for all of us.
