Eternal Endemism The Wet Tropics: Endemic Terrestrial Vertebrates of Australias Wet Tropics is the first of the Northern Australia series, with its sister publication Eternal Endemism The Kimberley: Endemic Terrestrial Vertebrates of Australias Kimberley Region coming in early 2016.
These and other upcoming publications serve as a celebration of the species and peoples of these magnificent areas, the photographers and biologists who work there and a call to arms for conservation. (Source Publisher)
