A comprehensive field guide to the birds of Peru.More than 1,890 species - nearly one fifth of the world’s birds - have been recorded in Peru, which hosts one of the richest avifaunas of any country in the world, including a mind-boggling 113 endemics. This field guide offers full coverage for every species that occurs in the country. 307 superb, high-quality plates include full coverage of distinct plumages, subspecific variation sexual and age variation and morphs. The facing text features concise descriptions that discuss key identification criteria, status, vocalisations and distribution, with colour distribution maps.A landmark publication that was the product of almost 40 years of research, expeditions and study, this remarkable book remains the standard work for Peru. Authoritative yet portable and suitable for field use, it is a must-have for any ornithologist or birder visiting the country.

In August of 2005, scientists conducted a rapid inventory in Sierra del Divisor, a mountain range that rises dramatically from the lowlands of central Amazonian Peru. This assessment, presented here in English and Spanish, collects their research on the plants and animals of the region as well as the social and cultural assets of local villages and their use and management of natural resources. The report includes recommendations for conservation and management, including steps to safeguard the voluntarily isolated indigenous people living in the region.

The Chuquisaca and Tarija regions of Bolivia cover areas of extraordinarily varied vegetation, providing one of the most dramatic shifts in flora and vegetation along the eastern Andes. However, biological information for this area has remained very limited. This text is the result of the work of an interdisciplinary team of biologists who surveyed south-central Chuquisaca in May 1995. It describes the large uninterrupted tracts of Bosque-Tucuman-Boliviano wet forest with many endemic species, but reports that the area also suffers from heavy development pressures.

Parque Nacional Noel Kempff Mercado, located in eastern Bolivia where the moist forests of the Amazon meet the dry forests of the Cerrado, contains numerous unique ecosystems and exceptionally high levels of biodiversity. This book presents the results not only of an intensive biological survey of the area conducted in 1991, but also of long-term research conducted from 1987 to 1995. Among other findings, the survey discovered 26 new species of plants, one new mammal species, and three new species of reptiles. This report, with text in both English and Spanish, includes extensive data appendices, a large fold-out satellite map of vegetation, and conservation recommendations for the region.
