Beschreibung

Can Snow Leopard Roar? is Book 4 in the JEACs series by Amelia Lionheart. Join the JEACs J - Junior E - Environmentalists A - And C - Conservationists in their first exhilarating adventure! Kinnaird Wildlife Conservation Centre (KWCC), situated in the Cairngorms mountain range in Scotland, is managed by Dan MacDonald who married Jay, Umedh's youngest aunt. KWCC have their biggest success in captive breeding with the Panthera Uncia, commonly known as snow leopards, and these beautiful creatures are currently on the endangered species list. When a second litter of cubs is born, KWCC staff celebrated this success with their community in the form of a huge event, and everyone is thrilled to visit the new cubs. But, the day after the function, it is discovered that the three older cubs, and their parents, are missing, and some days later, petty crooks are discovered leaving the country with pelts of snow leopards in their suitcases. Who is the head of this horrible gang and how did they infiltrate KWCC? The JEACs, Rohan, Umedh, Amy, Nimal, Anu, Gina, and Mich, arriving three weeks after this contemptible incident, to spend their Christmas holidays at KWCC, are appalled at the news and determined to catch the felons. They meet Brian, a Scottish lad who lives on KWCC, and he immediately joins the JEACs. Brian's father, Luag, is head of the breeding programme. Angry and upset at the loss of his beloved snow leopards, Brian updates the JEACs further on what he and his best friends, Cormag and Eadan, have discovered. The JEACs, after listening to Brian, unanimously conclude that the snow leopards are not out of danger yet. They are worried that there may be further nasty incidents at the large winter fundraiser which is to take place in four days. Hundreds of people will be arriving via helicopter, since KWCC is only accessible by air. The JEACs, therefore, put into place a number of plans in order to keep an eye on the snow leopards, and also strive to discover the plot which they are convinced is brewing.

Autor

Amelia Lionheart has been writing for many years and is the published author of four books for children. She has a diploma in writing from the Institute of Children's Literature, Connecticut, USA.Amelia, who has lived and worked in several countries, believes very strongly in the conservation of wildlife and, in particular, the protection of endangered species. She is convinced that awareness of this issue, when imbued in children at an early age, is a vital step towards saving our planet.As a member of several nature/wildlife preservation organizations, including the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, she invites children and their families to become involved with local zoos and conservation centres and to support their important work, both by creating awareness and fundraising. To encourage this, she created a group called the Junior Environmentalists and Conservationists (JEACs) in the first book of her JEACs' series, Peacock Feathers. In the other books, the JEACs travel to various countries, having adventures while enlarging their group and encouraging local children to start groups of JEACs in their own countries.As of November 2013, Amelia has four real groups of JEACs in Canada. The JEACs continue to evolve.Amelia's other interests include environmental issues, volunteer work and fundraising. She believes that if people from different countries explore the diversity of cultures and learn from one another, they will discover that they have more similarities than dissimilarities. Many of these ideas are included in her books.Please check out http://www.jeacs.com, Amelia's website for children.
