Bradt's fully illustrated wildlife guides focus on regions of the world particularly celebrated for their amazing and often unique species.
With spectacular photography or exclusive watercolour drawings throughout, each visitors' guide provides an introduction to the region's principal flora and fauna alongside suggested wildlife itineraries, practical information on when to go and what to take and photography tips. Written in a deliberately engaging way, they offer something different from dry field guides, and will appeal to the interested layman as much as the wildlife devotee. Ideal as a lightweight companion to any wildlife trip they also make a handsome souvenir.
Beautifully illustrated with full-colour photographs throughout, Madagascar Wildlife is a celebration of the unique fauna of a remarkable island. Featuring over 250 species - from lemurs to millipedes - this guide is ideal for natural history enthusiasts and travellers alike. Newly discovered species and recently protected habitats are all covered in this fully revised edition. Also included is practical advice on visiting the key national parks and reserves plus special features on the evolution, camouflage, night-time wildlife and conservation issues.
Hilary Bradt is the founder of Bradt Travel Guides. As an author, lecturer and tour leader, she has visited Madagascar on more than 20 occasions. Nick Garbutt is a zoology graduate with a special interest in Madagascar, making numerous visits to investigate and photograph the island's natural history and to lead wildlife tours. His photographs have been highly commended in the BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition. Derek Schuurman is a keen naturalist working for Rainbow Tours who specialise in Madagascar.
