内容説明・目次

内容説明

The Philippine rain forest is home to one of the greatest concentrations of unique species of terrestrial vertebrates of any place on earth - more than 510 unique species - and the Philippines may have the world' s most seriously threatened flora and fauna. The text relates how this life came to exist in the islands and explains why the imminent destruction of the forest threatens also the economic and social well-being of the Philippine nation. It identifies the steps needed to be taken to protect both their natural heritage and their country's future.
