Conservation of Tropical Birds has been written by four conservation biologists whose expertise spans all the tropical regions of the world. It is the first book to cover all the major issues in tropical bird conservation.

This introductory textbook examines diminishing terrestrial and aquatic habitats in the tropics, covering a broad range of topics including the fate of the coral reefs; the impact of agriculture, urbanization, and logging on habitat depletion; and the effects of fire on plants and animal survival.

Massive anthropogenic habitat modifications, forest fires and the overexploitation of wildlife in Southeast Asia are clear and present dangers to its rich and unique biodiversity. This book reports comprehensively on the state of Southeast Asian biodiversity and suggests concrete actions needed immediately to mitigate the impending biodiversity crisis in Southeast Asia.
