Highly illustrated, and accessible to any reader with an interest in the region, it also provides guidelines to scientific researchers on worthwhile ecological and socio-economic research projects. It will be invaluable to all individuals involved in development planning and environmental management within the region.

Great Detail on Two Fascinating Regions,
By
This review is from: The Ecology of Nusa Tenggara and Maluku (Hardcover)
This book has valuable information on various aspects of these 2 regions, and is among the best in the series.
I personally found the fauna checklists, detailed island by island, particularly interesting and hard to find elsewhere. Another rare summary is that of the region's existing and proposed nature reserves, providing information on the unique features, legal status and threats to each one.
