Birds of the Wetlands
£24.95
James Hancock. This spectacular book is the work of one of the world's most travelled authorities on wetland birds. No one is better placed than James Hancock to provide a detailed understanding of the biology and ecology of the rich and varied assemblage of birds for whom the complex ecosystem of wetland habitats is home.
His skill as a photographer is used to beautiful effect throughout the book, while his appreciation and knowledge of the wetlands and their bird life, and his concerns for conservation problems informs his lively text. Anecdote and science alike are used to plead a better understanding of the world's increasingly threatened wetland habitats, and the need to conserve them for the future.

Heron Conservation
mapHeron Conservation provides a comprehensive update following two distinct threads. The status and conservation needs of herons are first presented on a regional basis, in a series of chapters set at continental and sub-continental scale. Over 200 biologists and heron conservationists-many associated with the Heron specialist group sponsored by Wetlands International and IUCN-have contributed to the data summarised here and these very latest census and survey results provide the most up to date and detailed picture of heron populations currently available. Chapters discussing several critical issues in heron conservation follow, often focusing on the international nature of the problem. Many heron populations are migratory and depend upon conservation of both summer and wintering wetland habitats often located on different continents .Effective conservation of these wetlands of international importance depends in large part on local and regional socio-economic factors. Herons to the extent that they require maintenance of wetland functioning, should be an integral part of sustainable wetland conservation.£42.99 POST FREE UK !
