What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

I want to say I read this book in 2006 or 2007. It was written by a man, maybe American. It covers different species, from varieties of apples in western Canada, to birds, mammals, whales, etc. I believe he also mentions the dodo as well as the snow leopard. I cannot remember how many pages it had or really what the cover was like. I think it was white. I have had a hard time finding it again. I can't remember if the man was a scientist or botanist or zoologist, but I don't think he was just a reporter or journalist.

The Botany of Desire: A Plant's-Eye View of the World sounds like it should fit. It definitely has apples in it.
Here's the cover:

That wasn't it but thank you!!

Could it have been Last Chance to See by Douglas Adams?

The Sixth Extinction: Journeys Among the Lost and Left Behind by Terry Glavin?

I haven't read either of these, so I can't tell if they cover the extinctions you mentioned, but they are white covers on my extinction shelf by men before 2006:


A Gap in Nature: Discovering the World's Extinct Animals


No Turning Back: The Life and Death of Animal Species
