The third edition of this title has been designed for easy use and to be an indispensable companion for the ecotourist, and especially for the primate-watcher. The 101 lemur species and subspecies currently recognized are illustrated and described in detail, and information is provided on the distribution, ecology, and behavior of each, accompanied by an array of photos, illustrations, and maps.

This Action Plan considers elephant populations across Asia on the basis of size and provides recommendations to enhance their long-term survival. It also considers the management of elephants in captivity.

Given that the basis for improved management of elephants throughout Asia must be sound systematic scientific research, the Action Plan recommends a number of research projects that need to be carried out in the field.
