Item Description
The fourth volume in a series produced by Conservation International in collaboration with CEMEX, the Mexican NGO Agrupacion Sierra Madre, and the University of Virginia. Like its three predecessors, Megadiversity (1997), Hotspots (1999), and Wilderness (2002), Hotspots Revisited is richly illustrated with over 300 photographs by some of the world's most outstanding wildlife photographers and has contributions from more than 200 scientific experts from around the world.
This new book presents the results of a four year re-analysis of the biodiversity hotspots, which appeared in the original Hotspots book, and provides updated information, and refines and reconfigures the hotspots boundaries. Hotspots Revisited identifies 34 regions worldwide, increased from the original 25 in the 1999 study, where 75% of the planet's most threatened mammals, birds, and amphibians survive within habitat covering just 2.3% of the Earth's surface.
