Fully revised and updated, this title contains new maps covering environmental impacts of human development including climate change and damage caused by deep-sea trawling and mining. Updated maps and data on birds, reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates and fish and of the increasing area of wetlands covered by the Ramsar Convention.
