About the Cover
A red kangaroo hops across an Australian spring meadow. In Australia, kangaroo imagery is everywhere—on national and state coats of arms, police badges, the tourism agency logo, airplane tail fins, and more. Yet, every year in Australia, about 5 million red and other kangaroo species are killed in unsupervised nighttime hunts to supply meat and skins for a global market. An international campaign to protect Australia’s most iconic animal, however, is turning the tide against this inhumane and unsustainable practice.
