| Résumé : |
This photographic field guide covers just the coastal and wetland species to be found along the East Atlantic Flyway, stretching from the High Arctic to South Africa. The focus, however, is very much on West Africa and the book is aimed not at local bird surveyors and conservation organisations.
Africa’s west coast supports some of the most significant waterbird populations in the Old World but, the book argues, they are not sufficiently well known here to permit their effective monitoring and conservation, nor are the sites on which they depend. This book aims to plug this gap by improving identification skills and promoting ecological understanding throughout the twenty-three countries which make up this coast. The book is published by the Wadden Sea Flyway Initiative and BirdLife International is therefore very much a conservation-focused publication. |
