All species of plants and animals face the same grim truth: adapt or perish. Whether due to changes in climate, natural disasters, encroachment or competition with other creatures, we cannot help but feel a sense of loss when we hear of the end of any species. It cannot be denied that human encroachment has put tremendous stress on animal populations, and it is only through compassion that we will take the steps necessary to slow increasing rates of extinction. This book features the Buddhist mantra, Om mani padme hum, expressing the wish that all beings find refuge in compassion, and in so doing, experience an end to suffering. The Disappeared Ones also features the names, extinction dates and drawings of creatures who became extinct between 9740 BCE and 2012 AD.
