Travellers to Ecuador want to experience tropical forests and other stunning habitats, and catch glimpses of exotic wildlife: toucans and parrots, monkeys and anteaters, frogs and toads, crocodiles and snakes.
On the Galapagos Islands, curious visitors want to see with their own eyes the exotic, unique, tame wildlife that stimulated Charles Darwin to formulate the theory of evolution. In this easy-to-carry, entertainingly written, and beautifully illustrated book is all the information you need to find, identify, and learn about Ecuador’s magnificent animal life.
David L. Pearson is a Research Professor in the Department of Biology at Arizona State University. His research is concentrated on ecological interactions among communities of species. He has studied habitats from desert grasslands and coral atolls to tropical rainforests and has written more than 75 scientific articles.
Having conducted ecological research in Brazil, Peru, and Ecuador intermittently in the past 30 years, he has become involved with environmental education and ecotourism in the region. He is co-author of Ecuador and Peru, both published as part of Interlink’s Travellers’ Wildlife Guides series.

"Produced by Interlink Publishing , the Traveller's Wildlife Guides are splendid overviews of the various creatures…Particularly helpful to me in this present volume is the authors' , as well as the overall series' , approach of presenting each taxonomic family in terms of its overall natural history rather than going into great detail at the individual species level… it is indeed to be welcomed by all… who seek a more multi-dimensional understanding of Peru's wildlife , and how each family relates not only to one another but to the larger ecosystem as well." — bornagainbirdwatcher.com
