Birds of The Indian Ocean

The Indian ocean is the third largest Ocean in the world containing 20% of the water of the Earth’s surface. The birds of the region include many unique endemic species that have evolved in isolation before the arrival of Man together with seabirds for their enormous numbers

This book is ground-breaking. Accessible and beautifully illustrated, for researchers, professionals and graduate students along with anyone interested in these distinctive and much-loved birds.

 This book is ground-breaking it is the first book to attempt to photographically. This book is also inspiring, because it highlights in pictures and the words of experts exactly what we could lose if we do not act now. Time is running out, but if we give nature the respect to which it is entitled, nature will respond and repay us

Rising Concern

For millennia, the scattered islands of the Indian Ocean have been stepping stones for birds to colonise and evolve into an incredible variety of unique forms. Just as the character if each island varies, so do the birds. This is the first time all of these been photographically illustrated the diverse avifauna of the entire Indian Ocean region in a single work.  Recognised subspecies are also given prominence, because what may only be considered an island race today might tomorrow be seen as an endangered island endemic species. While the emphasis is on endemics, waterbirds, seabirds, shorebirds, birds of prey, migrants and exotics are all also beautifully illustrated. The text conveys the urgency to protect these islands and their birds.
