Terrestrial Fauna of the Comoros Archipelago/Faune Terrestre de l’Archipel des Comores

Hamburg 2020, kt., 335 Seiten, mehr als 450 Farbfotos.. The Comoros Archipelago is a true natural paradise full of unique species and ecosystems with new species discovered and described regularly. Unlike many similar tropical oceanic islands, this hotspot of biological diversity remains virtually unknown to the global community.A group of three biologists had the privilege of studying the islands as their private ‘playground’ of natural history. At the same time, they saw that many of the unique species living there are threatened by extinction. They would like to share the extraordinary discoveries they made there with the people living on the archipelago and with the global community of tourists, scientists, and enthusiasts and raise awareness for the need of preserving this fragile ecosystem.
