Beschrijving
The science editor is Kay Van Damme. Located in the Arabian Sea, east of the Horn of Africa, the Socotra Islands of Yemen are often referred to as the 'Galapagos of the Indian Ocean', known for their many endemic species. In 2003, the islands became a UNESCO Man and Biosphere Reserve, acknowledging the intimate relationship between the islanders and their environment. Its nomination as a natural World Heritage Site is underway. This book provides a comprehensive review of the islands' flora, fauna and people. While documenting the geological history, land and marine biodiversity, ecology, human culture and history, the book also highlights hitherto unexplored aspects of the islands' biogeography, ecology and evolution. It also includes nine case studies illustrating local approaches to achieving conservation and sustainable development. Thoroughly researched and referenced, with contributions from over 100 international and national specialists, the book is packed with the latest scientific, historic and cultural information. Each chapter has been reviewed by specialists renowned in their particular fields. Through this book, the authors hope to arouse interest and engender actions to sustain Socotra's unique natural and cultural history into the future.
