5.0 out of 5 stars
A wonderful book on the little-known Philippine rainforests.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Vanishing Treasures of the Philippine Rain Forest (Paperback)
Most people think of rainforests as being in the Amazon. Dr. Heaney and Jack Regalado open the readers eyes to the rich, bio-diverse rainforests of the Philippines. The book's comparisons with other well-known rainforests around the world show that the Philippine rainforests have more species that are endemic to the islands than most other rainforests. You will be amazed at the wealth of wildlife that resides in these rainforests. Gorgeous pictures of seldom seen species abound in this book. There are maps showing that the rate of decimation of the rainforests in the Philippines continues at an alarming rate. This book has definitely convinced me that there are other rainforests that we should be concerned about, and this one is definitely worth saving.

This review is from: Vanishing Treasures of the Philippine Rain Forest (Paperback)
When I first saw the book for sale at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, I knew that the book would be great.So of course, I bought the book. The book features the evolutionary history of Philippine wildlife, of which a good percentage are found nowhere else in the world. A sure must-have for nature lovers, biologists and people proud to be Filipinos.
