Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

As ecotourism booms, it is only natural that eco-themed guidebooks should boom alongside it. The Ecotravellers' Wildlife Guides, endorsed by the Wildlife Conservation Society and researched by professional biologists, are among the more credible brands in the swelling ecotravel ranks. The series provides an encyclopaedic introduction to Central America's flora and fauna, as well as a friendly primer on the principles of ecotourism. These rich ecological contexts are accompanied by hundreds of pictures and photographs.

The guides deliver solid science without being stilted or boring--sections have titles like "Avian Mating Systems and Birds That Cheat" and "Frugivory: Animals That Eat Fruit and the Trees That Want Them To". The one element that is in surprisingly short supply is ecologically sound travel tips, from general dos and don'ts to a list of ecologically responsible tour operators and other eco-friendly establishments in Belize. This is mildly discouraging, since learning howto travel responsibly is as important as knowing what you are going to see. But given the relative paucity of travel literature on Belize, Belize and Northern Guatemala: The Ecotravellers' Wildlife Guide proves a valuable resource for anyone curious about the natural wonders of this increasingly popular destination. --Andrew Nieland

5.0 out of 5 stars The ideal book on the environment, Belize, and Guatemala., 17 May 2001

By A Customer

Belize and Northeren Guatemala: The Ecotraveller's Wildlife Guide is one of the best travel books on these two Central American countries. Two of the most biodiverse and ecologically rich countries in the world, Belize and Guatemala are covered fully in this first-rate book. The book details types of reptiles, amphibians, mammals, fish, and insects travellers can expect to encounter in each country. Types of plants are also included in the discussions of native flora and fauna. Additionally, the plates in the book, which show in pictures the different kinds of animals and plants, help the traveller identify what he or she encounters in the wild. This book is a beautifully-written, informative collection about beautiful, informative countries!
