New Guinea - Bruce M. Beehler - Bog

- Nature and Culture of Earth's Grandest Island

Bag om New Guinea

Lying between the Equator and Australia's north coast, and surrounded by the richest coral reefs on Earth, New Guinea is the world's largest, highest, and most environmentally complex tropical island: home to rainforests with showy rhododendrons, strange and colorful orchids, tree-kangaroos, spiny anteaters, ingenious bowerbirds, and spectacular birds of paradise. New Guinea is also home to more than a thousand traditional human societies, each with its own language and lifestyle, and many of these tribes still live in isolated villages and serve as stewards of the rainforests they inhabit. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the island's environment, animals, plants, and traditional rainforest cultures.
