Conservation Tales:
​Orangutans

Now Available!

Tigers are some of the biggest predators on the planet, and they are critically endangered! Destruction of their habitat, human activity in the forests where they live, and the illegal animal trade is a serious threat to these beautiful cats. Researchers are hard at work studying wild tigers and helping make decisions about how to protect them. In this book, you can learn how scientists use technology to capture photos of these shy animals, and other methods they use to understand where tigers live and what they need to survive. You'll also learn how choices you make a home can help protect tigers on the other side of the world!

Riley is trying to capture a photo of a fox in her neighborhood, but it's hard to do when they usually come out at night! How can they get a good picture?

Rileys dad tells her about a way scientists can take photos of animals without being in their habitat. They go to the zoo to meet at real tiger scientist to learn how she does it, and how Riley's family can do something at home to protect tigers in Siberia!
