In Caring Conservationists Who Are Changing Our Planet, Kate Peridot, takes on a whistle stop tour around the world to discover the stories of 20 conservationists and the endangered animals they are helping to save, including the blue whale, honeybee, Indian tiger, the last kākāpō, Komodo dragon, orangutan, rhino and the sea turtle. Sarah Long’s bright vivid illustrations capture the heart of the conservationist and the endangered animal.

This is a cleverly designed book full of inspiring facts about a wide variety of diverse conservationists and the endangered animals they are campaigning to save. The activities are fun and engaging I am sure young children will be eager to build a bug hotel, draw a campaign poster, or make their own nature documentary, to name but a few.
