Les Papillons diurnes des Iles Comores/Butterflies of the Comoros

Description:

Text French/English. Provides information on the current knowledge of the Comoran butterflies, with necessary information for harmonizing conservation procedures with agricultural practices, which are currently unsustainable. Butterflies are widely recognised as important bio-indicators, rapid in reacting to environmental changes, beautiful, colourful, charismatic and (some of them) easily identifiable, thus more easily monitored than most other organisms. Biological and taxonomic information is provided together with identification keys for families and species, as well as distribution maps and actual-size figures.
