Foreword by Gerald Durrell. Illustrated and Indexed.
This beautifully illustrated account of the world's endangered birds highlights all the species that are currently at risk, mainly through man's activities - such as habitat destruction, pollution, trapping and the introduction of predators.
The eminent author, James Ferguson-Lees, reviews the birds of the world's nine key ornithological regions - North America; Central and South America; Eurasia and North Africa; Africa and Southern Arabia; Madagascar; India and South-East Asia; Australasia; the tropical Pacific Islands and Antarctica.
In each chapter he discusses the rarest and most threatened birds and many of these are illustrated in a spectacular and vibrant way by the artist - Emma Faull.
This is a truly magnificent book - combining an authoritative text with some stunning portraits of the colourful birds which are so tragically threatened with extinction.
