A Biodiversity Assessment of the Yongsu - Cyclops Mountains and the Southern Mamberamo Basin

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Surveys of Two Rainforest Areas
Review: This book contains the findings of 2 regional surveys of West Papua, focussing on the Cyclops Mountains on the north coast near the provincial capital of Jayapura, and the Mamberamo River region near Dabra in the interior lowlands.
Data was collected by a team of specialists on flora, insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. These are presented very clearly, with notes on the local status of species.
The introduction contains information on the logistics of the field-trips, as well as conservation implications of the survey results. Some nice photos are included.
