The species extinction rate is of great concern. Every day species’ extinctions are continuing at up to 1,000 times or more the natural rate found in the fossil record. If this situation is getting worse, the expected extinction rate would reach to 10 times or more the current rate. How can human solve the crisis involving endangered species? How can we protect the rare and endangered species? If this situation keeps worsening, what are the effects on human beings? This selected library resources list on ―Rare and Endangered Species‖ was compiled by the Hong Kong Central Reference Library with a view to introducing library resources and web resources through which readers can understand and explore the harsh situation of rare and endangered species in the world.
