Dr. Emma Underwood publishes a new book in the WWF eco-regions assessment series:
Terrestrial Ecoregions of Africa and Madagascar: A Conservation Assessment
As part of a global effort to identify those areas where conservation measures are needed most urgently, World Wildlife Fund has assembled teams of scientists to conduct ecological assessments of all five continents. Terrestrial Ecoregions of Africa and Madagascar is the latest contribution, presenting in a single volume the first comprehensive assessment of biodiversity patterns, threats to biodiversity, and resulting conservation priorities across the African continent and its islands. Looking at biodiversity and threats in terms of biological units rather than political units, the new book offers a comprehensive examination of African biodiversity across all biomes and multiple taxonomic groups.
Terrestrial Ecoregions of Africa and Madagascar provides a blueprint for conservation action and represents an unparalleled guide for investments and activities of conservation agencies and donor organizations.
Terrestrial Ecoregions of Africa and Madagascar is published by Island Press, a non-profit publisher with a mission to provide information and resources to help solve environmental problems.
