Sea Otters

This book looks at the history, biology, behavior and uncertain future of sea otters, their journey from near extinction and how their role as a keystone species is essential to a rich, complex and connected ecosystem. Filled with the history and ecology of sea otters, this book will inform and inspire young readers to take action to help the conservation of sea otters.  The author is a photojournalist whose stories and photos have appeared in National Geographic News, BBC Wildlife and Scientific American, and she has also produced videos for National Geographic.   Isabelle Groc is the author of Gone is Gone, the first book in the Orca Wild series.  One of the world’s most beloved animals, 99 percent of sea otters were hunted to near extinction during the fur trade, and even though their numbers are coming back, they are still an endangered species. Includes a foreword from Dame Judi Dench and David F. Mills.
