Beside India, Lynx Illustrated Checklist of the Mammals of South Asia covers Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and SriLanka. Most mammal guides aimed at wildlife watchers (and not scientists) tend to cover small and cryptic species as a group only, not going to a species level. I clearly needed a mammal book.
I am thinking of a relatively stable/prosperous bird-paradise where one may be able to find a job in ecotourism or wildlife research… or, to begin with, as a resident environmental scientist / nature blogger in some wildlife lodge? SriLanka (375 / 436). Taking as a rule, the higher figure is more accurate.
Dragan]: What puts Philip Briggs’s SriLanka into a class of its own is a special emphasis on nature and wildlife-watching tourism. This is the title for the person who lives for both literature and nature.
For example, one paper states that in SriLanka’s cloud forest, only about 3% of all trees have suitable cavities. Preserving its habitat through sustainable practices and encouraging responsible wildlife tourism are crucial steps in ensuring the continued existence of this charismatic species.
As Bill Oddie noticed in his foreword to ‘Wild SriLanka’ (2nd edition) by Gehan De Silva Wijeyeratne, this island paradise is probably the only country in the world where almost all books on wildlife were authored by a single person. Such a concept seems perfect for a phone app on SriLankawildlife watching.
SriLanka is a ‘must visit country’ for any keen birder. Yala National Park is brimming with wildlife and there are good chances of seeing Leopard , Sloth Bear and Asian Elephant , while it is also excellent for dry-zone birds, while the nearby Bundala coastal marshes and Palatupana ponds are good spots for shorebirds.
The field trips ran the gamut of the Philly area’s great birding destinations, from the woodsy Wissahickon Creek Park to the multi-habitat Heinz National Wildlife Refuge and more. The third incarnation of the expo had a little bit of something for everybody. When field trips wrapped up, it was time to head back to the Expo Center.
