Zoologists, botanists and ethnologists all speak highly about Manu National Park. However, they do not always agree about how it can best be protected and why this is urgently needed. The authors have been closely associated with Manu for many years or even decades – they conduct or have conducted research there, they are engaged in conservation or work together with indigenous communities.
This book takes into account their diversity of perspectives and approaches and thus not only provides exciting insights into one of nature’s greatest treasure troves, but also into the dilemma of combining nature conservation and development.
The fascination of Manu National Park on 296 pages with large-format photos is available here free of charge as an e-book (PDF) in English and in Spanish.
