About Lost Land of the Dodo: The Ecological History of Mauritius, Reunion, and Rodrigues

A fascinating new perspective on the extinction of the ill-fated dodo and many other native species on the Mascarene IslandsUninhabited by humans, the Mascarene Islands of the Indian Ocean were once home to an extraordinary range of birds and giant tortoises, parrots, skinks, geckos, burrowing boas, flightless rails and herons, and, most famously, dodos. But the discovery of the three isolated islands in the 1500s, and their colonization in the 1600s, led to dramatic ecological changes. The dodo became extinct on its home island of Mauritius within several decades, and over the next 150 years most native vertebrates suffered the same fate. This fascinating book provides the first full ecological history of the Mascarene Islands as well as the specific story of each extinct vertebrate, accompanied by Julian Hume’s superb color illustrations.Published in association with T and u0026AD Poyser A and u0026C Black Publishers Ltd.
