Threatened birds of the Philippines : the Haribon Foundation/Birdlife International Red Data Book / by Nigel J. Collar, Neil Aldrin D. Mallari, Blas R. Tabaranza, Jr. ; with contributions from Mike J. Crosby ... [et al.]. ; in collaboration with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Environment Agency of Japan.

A joint effort by The Haribon Foundation and the DENR, this book is a component of the Birdlife Asia Partnership's Red Data Book Programme, which aims to document in full every species of bird threatened with extinction in the Asian region. Every piece of information relevant to the species' conservation has been sought and assembled, using not only published and unpublished literature but also previously unused data from museum specimens and evidence from local officials, zoologists, conservationists and bird tourists. Each species account has been broken down into standard entries relating to distribution, population, ecology, threats and conservation measures. This book attempts to record Philippine bird species before they are lost in memory and to sound the alarm for all to help save them.
