Biodiversity and Conservation in Tumbesian Ecuador and Peru

Brinley J Best and Michael Kessler

BirdLife International

1995

"This region of South America has been identified by BirdLife as an Endemic Bird Area. It has one of the largest complements of restricted-range species in the world, but has suffered catastrophic habitat loss in the second half of the 20th century, and has become the focus of much recent research. This important book uses the results of this work to present an overview of the habitats and avifauna of the region, assess their conservation status and make recommendations for future protection."

Key Forests for Threatened Birds in Africa: Seventy-five Forests Important for Bird Species at Risk

N.J. Collar and S.N. Stuart

BirdLife International

1988

"This book is written by the authors of Threatened Birds of Africa and Related Islands. This book describes the 75 forests which must be conserved to protect the forest-dwelling birds identified in the earlier work. Most of the forests covered were chosen because they hold more than one threatened bird species, and the book presents a powerful argument for treating the forest as the unit of conservation concern, rather than the single species. Although primarily intended to set priorities for conservation, the book can be used as a guide to finding Africa's rarest birds. Rare primates and other fauna and flora are also included in the site descriptions."
