They are recording not only sightings but habitats, habits and diets so the rest of us can understand the delicate balance and the unimaginable variety of nature. Hopefully, it will also help us to discard our misconceptions and learn to really appreciate animals and plants. Only then, may we, by conviction, protect them once and for all from ourselves. But such studious people, the ones born to be in the wild, are as rare here as the flying squirrel. That is why complete, accurate information is so valuable.
Wildlife is fantastic, more so than any science fiction writer's dreams.
This book is pure science, the science that entertains and enlightens. The book is in Spanish, but this is no hindrance to the dedicated scholar or wildlife lover. First, there is the scientific name, then the common name in English and finally the most common names given to the animals in Spanish, Garifuna, Misquito, Pech and Tawahka. This makes it a most practical tool to find out exactly what animal you see, even in remote areas. The format of the book is fluid, immensely rich in secrets of the mammalian world, but most importantly, clear and easy to understand.
