Check out the issue!

For our Special Endangered Animals Issue, we’re celebrating five animals that were once in trouble but are now recovering. Before you read about these inspiring comebacks, take a fun quiz to discover the best way you can help your favorite critter.

You'll also learn how the Endangered Species Act of 1973 makes it illegal to kill or harass at-risk animals in the United States. The 50-year-old law also gives U.S. government agencies the power to protect the areas where the critters live. You can help save animals, too. Get tips to protect habitats, boost biodiversity, prevent plastic pollution, and combat climate change.

Next, go behind the scenes at a wildlife center to see how a rescued beaver named Nibi cleans her room, plays with toys, and practices her dam-building skills. Supersmart Nibi is getting the care she needs at a Massachusetts facility before she's released back to the wild.

Be sure to check out Critter Chat to follow the social media feed of a Gobi bear living in southern Mongolia, and find out what he "says" to his friends.

Then see the results of our latest Whatcha Think? poll to see which planet Nat Geo Kids readers would visit.
