Editore: CONSERVATION INTERNATIONAL  (2010)

Descrizione

In this guide we discuss the origins, discovery, study, and conservation of Madagascar's lemur fauna, and profile the country's 101 species and subspecies. What is particularly exciting is that we continue to discover species of lemurs previously unknown to science. Sixteen years ago, at the time of the 1st edition of this guide. we recognized only 50 different kinds of lemurs, but 43 lemur species and subspecies have been described since then, and we here recognize a Further eight as a result of our improved understanding of their systematics and geographic ranges. We expect that other lemurs will continue to be described in years to come. The guide is illustrated with 539 drawings, photos, and maps to assist in field identification. We also introduce the concept of primate-watching and primate life-listing to encourage all of you interested in primates to see as many of these wonderful animals as possible in the wild and to help conserve them in their natural habitats. You, the reader, whether scientist. primate-watcher, budding naturalist, adventure traveler, or casual visitor to Madagascar, are making a very significant contribution to the future of biodiversity in this amazing corner of our planet. We hope that this guide will enhance your experience and convince you to visit this "Land of Lemurs" again and again.
