Birding in Paradise is the mouth-wateringly tempting title to these guides to the birds, wildlife and heritage of Britain’s last Caribbean territories.
The UK Overseas Territories Conservation Forum is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to the conservation of plants, birds and other animals in the UK’s overseas territories. This imperial legacy, ranging from the Antarctic, to the Pacific, the Indian Ocean, the South Atlantic and the Caribbean, is remarkable for its biodiversity.
The Caribbean is the focus for these handy guide books, primarily on birds but also covering other wildlife and each island’s heritage. The Montserrat volume is published jointly with the Montserrat National Trust, while the Turks and Caicos National Museum is the partner for guides to each of the Turks and Caicos Islands; aiding the work of locally-based conservation organisations is one of the forum’s key priorities.
