About: Stuarts' Field Guide to National Parks and Nature Reserves of Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia

Stuarts' Field Guide to National Parks and Nature Reserves of Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia has two aims: to outline the natural history of the best conservation areas that greater southern Africa has to offer, and to assist the reader in identifying the more common mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and plants found there. The guide is divided into two sections. The first, which is by far the bigger of the two, deals with each conservation area's natural history, the landscapes, geology, vegetation, climate and those animals that survive and thrive. The second section is an image gallery of common fauna and flora. In this broad overview of these critical conservation areas, their landscapes and inhabitants, the authors hope to provide an understanding of why they need protection. Stuarts' Field Guide to National Parks and Nature Reserves of Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia is organised by country, and includes detailed descriptions of the history, geology, climate, vegetation and wildlife of some 50 conservation areas, annotated park maps, indicating places of interest and best sites to view key species, text panels featuring each park’s highlights, facilities and activities, wildlife facts, and important alerts as well as a concise photographic gallery of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and trees, for quick identification of commonly seen species.
