Wild Philippines provides an authoritative and entertaining study of the wide spectrum of wildlife on the land and in the seas of this diverse country.
Wild
Philippines
explores the archipelago's wide range of habitats from tidal sand bars to
mighty mountain ranges; from coral reefs through rainforests to summit
grasslands. The country's isolation from mainland Asia also gives it a high
number of endemic plant and animal species. In this fully updated second
edition, Nigel Hicks' stunning photographs and vivid text explores each of the
natural environments and habitats. He describes and illustrates species of the
open seas, of the coral reefs and sandy shallows, and of the many different
types of forests including the 37 species of mangrove tree found in the
Philippines. He gives an overview of the protected areas that safeguard a
cross-section of these vital environments and discusses the conservation issues
past and present. Wild
