Madagascar has one of the most extraordinary concentrations of biodiversity in the world! The island has recently been presented as a zoogeographical region, proven to hold the second largest variety of vertebrates in the world after Australia, even though Madagascar is the smallest region of them all!
This new field guide covers the entire Madagascar region, which encompasses the unique island and the various islands and "archipelagos" of the Indian Ocean, including the Seychelles, Comoros and Mascaraes (Mauritius, Reunion and Rodrigues). Each breeding or vagrant species is described in detail with distribution maps at the same page. Vagrant birds are also presented in detail, but without maps. All species are displayed on a beautiful series of 123 color charts, with paintings by John Gale and Brian Small.
