Putting biodiversity on the map: priority areas for global conservation - CambridgeGB International Council for Bird Conservation 1992 - vi,90p.

Provides a reliable blueprint for global biodiversity conservation by pinpointing the areas where protection is vital. Reveals the fact that 28 of the worlds bird species are restricted to just 221 sites, occupying a mere 5 of earth's land surface. These hotshots or Endemic Bird Areas (EBAs), are also critical for clusters of unique species of other life form groups. Contains detailed regional maps giving the positions and boundaries of each EBA and their relationship to existing protected area networks.
