Description
Partridges & Francolins: their conservation, Breeding, and Management is the second in a new series published by the World Pheasant Association devoted to gamebirds. First and foremost, this book provides much practical advice and guidance to those interested in the captive breeding of these species, but it goes much deeper than that. The importance of properly con-coordinating captive breeding into species conservation planning is examined, and the book draws on the recommendations of the Action plan written by the World Pheasant Association.
With paintings and photographs of some 90 species in color, this book could almost be described as a field guide in addition to being a practical book for the aviculturists and conservationists concerned with partridges and francolins.
