Résumé

With some of the largest and biologically richest tracts of tropical forest remaining on the planet, Papua New Guinea is today at a critical juncture in its history, as pressure mounts on the nation to exploit its natural treasures. The bats, whose role as pollinators, seed dispersers and insect predators is of enormous importance to maintaining the health of tropical forest ecosystems, have been far less thoroughly studied and are poorly understood in comparison with other elements of the Papuan fauna such as the birdwing butterflies and the birds of paradise. In this book by Dr. Frank Bonaccorso, a work of considerable scholarship and the second volume in Conservation International's Tropical Field Guide Series, information about these remarkable creatures is now available in an accessible and portable form to scientists and amateur naturalist alike, and we hope that it will inspire a greater awareness of the importance of bats to the biological and cultural heritage of Papua New Guinea.
