Waterbirds Around the World
A New Book Provides an Overview of the World’s Waterbirds
Conservation scientists have worked together to produce Waterbirds Around the World, a book about saving our waterbirds.
Waterbirds Around the World, published in 2007 by Stationery Office, is a compilation of works by conservation scientists who attended the Waterbirds Around the World Conference in Edinburgh in 2004. These distinguished scientists are concerned with the plight of the world’s waterbirds: the state of their migratory routes, the disappearance of the wetlands and coastal areas they depend on, the effects of climate change, the spread of disease, the threats posed by human activities, and everything else that impacts the birds’ lives. The papers in Waterbirds Around the World discuss what is known about waterbirds, what has been done to help conserve them, and what needs to be done in the future.
Waterbirds Around the World was released on March 12, 2007 and stands as one of the most up to date reference books on the status of the World’s Waterbirds. The book is available online at TSO Online Bookshop.
