Sensi tive freshwater species, including na tive trout, are missing from park habi tats. Many ocean fish are in decline, while coral reefs - popular showcases of dazzling biological complexity display signs of distress. Fragmented habitats result in fewer migratory birds returning to national parks. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
