Nature’s Waste Collectors – Everything You Need to Know About Dung Beetles, Earthworms, Vulure and More
Clean-up crews and tiny record-breaking recyclers
When we produce rubbish, we just throw it in the bin. But what happens to nature’s rubbish – things like dung, decayed leaves, dead animals and abandoned nests? After all, nature doesn’t have its own crew of waste collectors … or does it? In her fun new children’s book, Anita van Saan reveals the secret world of the dung beetles, blowflies, earthworms and vultures, who – without our even noticing – are busy day and night disposing of nature’s rubbish.
- A children’s ecology book about how nature deals with waste – and what we can learn from it
