註釋"The Kimberley is bordered cardinally by four striking features; to the west the Indian Ocean, to the north the Timor Sea, the south by the Great Sandy and Tanami Deserts and the east the Northern Territory. It is a place of superlative natural beauty, a biodiversity hotspot and a refuge for native plants and animals. The northwest Kimberley is the only place in Australia where no mammal extinctions have been recorded since European arrival. In this book, we showcase every endemic, frog, reptile, bird and mammal found in The Kimberley. Bringing up to date the list of unique animals of this region with a collection of full-colour photos never before assembled in a single volume. Recently described species are included as well as updates on the status of others, making this the most accurate and comprehensive listing in print. It is a celebration of the endemic species of Australia's Kimberley, the photographers, biologists and folk who work there, and a call to arms for conservation."--Back cover.
