The development of DNA technology has radically improved our understanding of how life works. It enables us to see how living things reproduce themselves and how closely related they are to each other. It also allows us to find out where organisms have been, if they have left traces of their DNA behind in the environment. This book provides some fascinating examples of how DNA technology is being used to help save or study wildlife in Scotland. Children from across Scotland helped to illustrate the book, and many of their drawings are included in the detailed chapters about 14 amazing animals that you can find in Scotland from Scottish wildcats to great crested newts and golden eagles
