Wild City A Photographic Guide to Amphibians, Mammals, and Reptiles of Metro Manila
In stock
Metropolitan Manila is a large, bustling city, characterized by industrial, commercial, and residential infrastructure. Like other urban dwellers, humans of Metro Manila live side by side with animals that are often unnoticed and underappreciated. Forty-five of these species, including seven amphibians, twenty-two reptiles, and sixteen mammals, are introduced in this book.
This field guide features general information on the life history and ecology of each animal group, including diagrams illustrating relevant features to look out for. A beautiful full-color photograph of each species is provided, as well as the scientific and common names, and information on descriptive physical characteristics, habitats and habits, and conservation status. The book also gives an overview of urban biodiversity, its role in contributing to the health of the city and the factors that threaten its existence. Tips for wildlife observation and creating wildlife-friendly spaces are also provided.
Wild City: A Photographic Guide to Amphibians, Mammals, and Reptiles of Metro Manila is the first of its kind in the Philippines. It is an invitation for city dwellers to experience, explore, appreciate, and hopefully conserve the nature around them.
