Book Description
Welcome, dear reader, to the enchanting world of Dodo Returns, a delightful children’s book by the imaginative Dandy Ahuruonye. Prepare to embark on a whimsical journey that promises to tickle your fancy and ignite your sense of wonder. This is not just a story; it’s an adventure that flutters on the wings of creativity and soars into the realms of the extraordinary. Imagine, if you will, a time long ago when the dodo, a charming and curious bird, roamed the idyllic island of Mauritius. The dodo, with its plump body and endearing waddle, was a creature of pure joy, untroubled by predators and content with its simple life of munching on fruits and nuts. Alas, the dodo’s tale took a tragic turn, and it vanished into the annals of history, leaving behind only whispers of its existence. But what if the dodo could return? What if, through the marvels of modern science and the boundless imagination of a young boy named Nakike, the dodo could once again grace our world? Enter Dodo Returns, a tale that bridges the gap between the past and the present, the real and the fantastical. Nakike, a boy with a heart full of dreams and a mind brimming with curiosity, embarks on a secret project that defies the ordinary. In his hidden laboratory, he breathes life into a new dodo, a creature not just of feathers and bones, but of vibrant colours and melodious tunes. This is no ordinary dodo; this is Dodo 2.0, a bird reimagined for a new era, with a personality as lively as a summer’s day and a spirit as free as the wind. Yet, Dodo 2.0 is not content with merely existing. It yearns to soar, to feel the rush of air beneath its wings, to explore the world beyond the confines of Nakike’s lab. And so begins a tale of friendship and adventure, as Nakike and his feathered companion navigate the challenges of a world that is both wondrous and perilous. Ahuruonye’s prose dances off the page, weaving a tapestry of words that is both witty and poetic. His storytelling is a masterclass in charm, drawing readers young and old into a narrative that is as heartwarming as it is thrilling. The book is a celebration of nature, a call to cherish and protect the wonders of our world, and a reminder that even the most fantastical dreams can come true with a little bit of ingenuity and a lot of heart. So, dear reader, why wait? Dive into the pages of Dodo Returns and let Nakike and Dodo 2.0 take you on an unforgettable journey. This is a book that promises laughter, excitement, and a touch of wonder. It’s a story that will leave you with a smile on your face and a song in your heart. Get your copy today and let the adventure begin!

Biodiversity Conservation and Habitat Management - Volume I

Author: Franccesa Gherardi
Publisher: EOLSS Publications
ISBN: 1905839200
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 446

Book Description
Biodiversity Conservation and Habitat Management is a component of Encyclopedia of Natural Resources Policy and Management in the global Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), which is an integrated compendium of twenty one Encyclopedias. Biodiversity is declining worldwide at a very unprecedented rate as a complex response to several human-induced changes in the global environment. The magnitude of these changes is so large and their effects are so strongly linked to the altered ecosystem processes and to human (ab-)use of natural resources that biodiversity loss is today perceived as one of the most important issues that humankind should face with extreme urgency. Disseminating information, raising awareness, and propelling concern within a diversified target audience (general public, schools, local authorities, and government agencies) are also essential to develop shared responsibility and to encourage collaborative efforts and compliance. This has been the main objective of “Biodiversity Conservation and Habitat Management”. The Theme on Biodiversity Conservation and Habitat Management provides the essential aspects and a myriad of issues of great relevance to our world in eight major topics of discussion, and is focused on 1) History and Overview of Biodiversity Conservation and Protected Areas, 2) Management of Forests and other Wooded Habitats, 3) Management of Savannahs and Other Open Habitats, 4) Management of Wetlands, 5) Management of Tourism and Human Recreation Pressure, 6) Conservation Strategies, Species Action Plans and Translocation, 7) Captive Breeding and Gene Banks, and 8) Eradication and Control of Invasive Species. These two volumes are aimed at the following five major target audiences: University and College students Educators, Professional practitioners, Research personnel and Policy analysts, managers, and decision makers and NGOs.

Lost Land of the Dodo

Author: Anthony Cheke
Publisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 1408108828
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 824

Book Description
The Mascarene islands in the southern Indian Ocean - Mauritius, Réunion and Rodrigues - were once home to an extraordinary range of birds and reptiles. Evolving on these isolated volcanic islands in the absence of mammalian predators or competitors, the land was dominated by giant tortoises, parrots, skinks and geckos, burrowing boas, flightless rails & herons, and of course (in Mauritius) the Dodo. Uninhabited and only discovered in the 1500s, colonisation by European settlers in the 1600s led to dramatic changes in the ecology of the islands; the birds and tortoises were slaughtered indiscriminately while introduced rats, cats, pigs and monkeys destroyed their eggs, the once-extensive forests logged, and invasive introduced plants from all over the tropics devastated the ecosystem. The now-familiar icon of extinction, the Dodo, was gone from Mauritius within 50 years of human settlement, and over the next 150 years many of the Mascarenes' other native vertebrates followed suit. The product of over 30 years research by Anthony Cheke, Lost Land of the Dodo provides a comprehensive yet hugely enjoyable account of the story of the islands' changing ecology, interspersed with human stories, the islands' biogeographical anomalies, and much else. Many French publications, old and new, especially for Réunion, are discussed and referenced in English for the first time. The book is richly illustrated with maps and contemporary illustrations of the animals and their environment, many of which have rarely been reprinted before. Illustrated box texts look in detail at each extinct vertebrate species, while Julian Hume's superb colour plates bring many of the extinct birds to life. Lost Land of the Dodo provides the definitive account of this tragic yet remarkable fauna, and is a must-read for anyone interested in islands, their ecology and the history of our relationship with the world around us.

Extinct Birds

Author: Julian P. Hume
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1472937465
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 609

Book Description
A comprehensive review of the hundreds of bird species that have become extinct over the last 1,000 years of habitat degradation, over-hunting and rat introduction. Extinct Birds has become the standard text on this subject, covering both familiar icons of extinction as well as more obscure birds, some known from just one specimen or from travellers' tales. This second edition is expanded to include dozens of new species, as more are constantly added to the list, either through extinction or through new subfossil discoveries. The book is the result of decades of research into literature and museum drawers, as well as caves and subfossil deposits, which often reveal birds long-gone that disappeared without ever being recorded by scientists while they lived. From Great Auks, Carolina Parakeets and Dodos to the amazing yet almost completely vanished bird radiations of Hawaii and New Zealand via rafts of extinction in the Pacific and elsewhere, this book is both a sumptuous reference and astounding testament to humanity's devastating impact on wildlife.
