Богато иллюстрированная книга под авторством Джереми Маллинсона, сотрудника Джерсийского зоопарка, созданного Джеральдом Дарреллом.
Spanning three continents South America, Africa and India – and one great island, Madagascar, the author describes his extensive travels in search of a great diversity of the world’s threatened and endangered species.
Exploring the backwaters of the Amazon basin, the author went in search of a legendary animal, the ‘mitla’ which in turn brought him into direct contact with a wide range of exotic animal species. Moving on to Africa and Madagascar the reader is introduced to the eastern lowland gorillas in the Kahuzi-Biega National Park in Zaire, and the prima donna of the lemur family, the indri, in the Reserve of Perinet, Madagascar.
Travels in Search of Endangered Species also describes an increasing awareness of the problems facing such critically endangered species as the diminutive pigmy hog from the Himalayan foothills of Assam and the dramatic lion tamarins of south eastern Brazil.
Beautifully illustrated with many photographs taken on Jeremy Mallinson’s expeditions, Travels in Search of Endangered Species will appeal to a wide range of animal lovers and conservationists, and also to all those with an adventurous spirit as the author describes his travels to some of the world’s remotest regions in search of such an interesting variety of threatened species.
