Bloomsbury Publishing is launching a new Birding America series and I’m pleased to have been invited to cover Florida. This photographic field guide will include 300+ of Florida’s native birds, encompassing northern temperate species, southern tropical species, winter residents, regular West Indian visitors and many of the migratory species that grace Florida seasonally. Be ready to grab your binoculars and this new guide in Fall 2024.
The Caribbean is one of the world’s most important biodiversity hotspots but the environmental situation has changed dramatically during 500 years of European dominance as intensive colonial agriculture and ensuing development devastated the pre-existing environment. Only 1% of the Caribbean landscape can be considered natural today, but more recent experience has shown that Caribbean lands released from intensive use have regenerative capacities. This book is designed to help government entities, non-profit organizations, businesses, private citizens, and all interested to restore the Caribbean’s unique nature. To be published by CRC Press, it’s scheduled for a late 2024 release.
