Kenya (pron.: /ˈkɛnjə/ or /ˈkiːnjə/), officially the Republic of Kenya, is a country in East Africa that lies on the equator. With the Indian Ocean to its south-east, it is bordered by Tanzania to the south, Uganda to the west, South Sudan to the north-west, Ethiopia to the north and Somalia to the north-east. Kenya has a land area of 580,000 km2 and a population of a little over 43 million residents.[2] The country is named after Mount Kenya, a significant landmark and second among Africa's highest mountain peaks. Its capital and largest city is Nairobi.Modern day Mt. Kenya was originally referred to as "Mt. Kirinyaga" by the indigenous people. "Kirinyaga or Kerenyaga, meaning 'mountain of whiteness' because of its snow capped peak"; The name was subsequently changed to Mt.Kenya due to the inability of the British to pronounce "Kirinyaga" correctly.

Wild India: The wildlife and scenery of India and Nepal

History

Published in association with the World Wide Fund for Nature, Wild India is a valuable current record of the subcontinent's wild places and wilderness areas. Guy Mountfort, an authority on all aspects of species preservation, provides a discerning account of the ecological and human history of the region, focusing on present-day pressures on India's irreplaceable natural heritage. Gerald Cubitt's superb 400 full-color photographs are informatively captioned and divided into sections on the Himalayas, the Indo-Gangetic Plain, and the Deccan. Wild India surveys the great diversity of plant and animal life from the remote Karakoram range in Ladakh to the rainforests of the southwestern ghats, from the deserts of the far west of Rajasthan to the jungles and swamps of Assam and Manipur. Here, among numerous other species, are the magnificent Kashmir stag and the shy musk deer, the rare lion-tailed macaque and the Nilgiri tahr, and the Asiatic lion—in its last bastion in the Gir forest—along with the golden langur, the one-horned rhinoceros, and herds of elephant and buffalo.

Photographs by Gerald Cubitt Wild Thailand is the fifth volume in a series celebrating the earth's great wilderness areas, illustrated by one of the world's leading natural history photographers. Like its companion volumes on Indonesia, India, Malaysia, and New Zealand, it is richly illustrated with over 400 full-color photographs. Chapters focus on each area of the country in turn, with an emphasis on environmental threats and conservation programs. Thailand is a country of seemingly infinite variety, containing almost every habitat variation found in tropical Asia, from dry tropical pine forests in the mountainous north, through flood plains in the central region, to wet evergreen forests in the steamy south. The coasts boast mangrove swamps and stunning coral reefs. The country also harbors some 27,000 flower species—an estimated 10 percent of the world's total—along with over 900 bird species. It is, in effect, a biogeographic gateway through which the ecological elements of the surronding countries have met and merged, creating a natural potpourri that is not found anywhere else.

Africa

South Africa is a country facing great challenges, and opinions as to its course into the future are widely divergent and often the source of heated debate at home and abroad. It is a land of people of many different cultures and diverse, often conflicting, values - a mix which is at once the root of its great dilemma and the bud of its great potential. The traveler is faced with an almost unlimited choice of what to see and do: mountains of breathtaking grandeur, some snow-capped in winter; deserts of sand and scrub and heat hazed horizons; the great treeless plains of the interior; above all, a wildlife and floral abundance that is unparalleled anywhere in the world.

Namibia: The untamed land

Published by Don Nelson

A wildlife study, published to coincide with and celebrate "Visit Malaysia Year (1990)". The wealth of Malaysia's wildlife is vast, whether your interest lies in elephants, birds, wild cats, monkeys and apes, squirrels, bats, marine life, insects or tropical flora. In this book, each is photographed in its natural habitat, emphasising the interdependence of all species not only upon one another but upon the forests and plant life that surround them. Survival depends on the protection of the entire habitat, and this is where conservation and development must go hand in hand. This book is a celebration of that wildlife and a cry for its continuing survival.
