With some of the largest and biologically richest tracts of tropical forest remaining on the planet, Papua New Guinea is today at a critical juncture in its history, as pressure mounts on the nation to exploit its natural treasures.

Bats of Papua New Guinea


Written by Frank Bonaccorso and Illustrated by Fiona Reid. A Conservation International Tropical Field Guide Series. The bats, whose role as pollinators, seed dispersers and insect predators is of enormous importance to maintaining the health of tropical forest ecosystmes, have been far less thoroughly studied and are poorly understood in comparison with other elements ofr Papuan fauna such as the birdwing butterflies and birds of paradise. In this book, by Dr. Frank Bonaccorso, a work of considerabl escholarship and the second volume in Conservation International's Tropical Field Guide Series, information about these remarkable creatures is now available in an accessible and portable form to scientists and amateur naturalists alike, and we hope that it will inspire a greater awareness of the importance of bats to the biological and cultural heritage of Papua New Guinea.
