Birds of the UK Overseas Territories

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

An authoritative guide to birds of the UK Overseas Territories.\nThe UK Overseas Territories (UKOTs) are scattered across the globe. Most are small islands or island complexes, occurring from the Caribbean to the furthest reaches of the South Atlantic, via the Indian and Pacific Oceans. \nIn terms of global biodiversity, these territories are remarkably significant. Among landscapes that range from coral atolls, through mangroves and dry forests to the ice sheets of Antarctica, the UKOTs support no fewer than 45 species of birds currently considered to be globally threatened. They are also home to a third of all the world\u2019s breeding albatrosses, and nine of the world\u2019s 17 species of penguin.\nIn a rapidly changing world, the UKOTs symbolise global crises in climate and biodiversity.
