Whales To The Rescue: How Whales Help Engineer the Planet (Ecosystem Guardians): 2 - Hardcover
Book 2 of 2: Ecosystem Guardians
Synopsis
Meet one of Earth's 'ecosystem engineers'] In this fascinating and unique book, a marine biologist reveals how whales are 'ecosystem engineers' - animals that create, modify or maintain a habitat or ecosystem. Whales do this by reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. They store loads of carbon in their bodies for decades, even centuries; when they die, they sink to the ocean floor, taking their carbon with them. More carbon in the ocean means less carbon in the atmosphere. And it's all thanks to whales] Now kids get one more reason to love these amazing creatures] Whales are helping the planet] Nearly half the book provides information on whales. It then moves on to describe the consequences of a warming planet and the ways that whales can help. Kim Smith's stunning art brings the concepts to life. Part of the Ecosystem Guardians series, this book has strong STEM connections in life and environmental science, with curriculum links to biodiversity, ecosystems, food webs and animal habitats and characteristics. It contains a glossary, resources, information on how children can help and an index.
