$100.00
Quarto, dustwrapper, 400 pp., eight colour plates, 703 maps.
Nepal has a powerful fascination for most birdwatchers. It is remarkably rich in birdlife, having a large number of species for its size. DUSTWRAPPER TEXT For this new edition, Carol and Tim Inskipp have included a wealth of new information on the distribution and status of Nepal's 836 bird species. Valuable information is given on breeding, habitat, behaviour and range within the Indian subcontinent with emphasis on the Himalayas. The 703 distribution maps cover all but the rarer and more localised birds. In addition, data are presented on those species whose breeding behaviour is little known. The detailed section on identification of difficult species, which includes colour plates, is of particular value. The range and quality of the material covered will ensure that A Guide to the Birds of Nepal remains indispensable for anyone interested in the birds of the region.

This photographic guide deals with the basics of bird identification in India and Nepal by presenting those species that are most likely to be seen in accessible habitats throughout the region. The book is aimed directly at field identification. For those species that are sexually dimorphic, have both breeding and non-breeding plumages, or in which the juvenile plumage differs markedly from that of the adult, more than one photograph has been included. Thumbnail silhouettes aid the reader in quickly locating the correct group of birds, and for each species account a map shows the bird's distribution. (ISBN: 1845379829) (EAN: 9781845379827)

Quarto, paperback, 242 pp., colour photographs, maps.
This book provides an overview of diversity of bird life in different agro-ecological and climatic zones of Nepal. Current status, threat and consequences are identified and conservation needs are recommended. The book also highlights 27 critical biological sites for bird and biodiversity conservation in Nepal. Thirteen out of 27 critical sites are within the protected area system, meaning they are relatively safer, and the rest are spread in and around wetlands, woodlots, river valleys and watersheds. In addition, five potentially important areas have also been identified which provide conservationists additional opportunities for timely action to protect Nepal's avifaunal diversity. This IBA inventory fills the gap on national biodiversity inventory and helps government fulfill its obligations towards the CBD. It is hoped that the book will provide guidance to decision makers and planners to geographically focus financial and human resources, and avoid negative impact in land-use and development planning.
