Presented by Smithsonian scientists and conservation biologists Dr. Gina Della Togna and Dr. Brian Gratwicke, Extinctopedia tells a complex story: not just of those species that are extinct but also of those in greatest peril, with explanations of what threatens their survival. It is also a story of hope—hopes for animals that have been rediscovered, hope in the form of newly-discovered animals, and hope that we might hear the warning call and act to preserve the amazing biodiversity of our fragile planet for future generations to come.
