Reptiles of the Guianas - Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana

Matthijs Kuijpers is one of the best known and most illustrious herpetological photographers in Europe. This book is the culmination of numerous trips to Suriname and Guyana.
This book contains all currently known species of this region, in a beautiful large hardback format, with each species with photos, descriptions and distribution map.
The Guiana Shield is one of the regions with the highest biodiversity in the world and is home to many endemic species!

From the foreword by Dr. Freek J. Vonk:
This region has one of the highest forest cover rates in the world. It is a biodiversity hotspot home to key species that thrive here. It is estimated that around 4,000 species of vertebrates and 20,000 species of plants live here, of which around 40% are endemic, with many more species yet to be discovered.
This is the first book dedicated to the reptiles of Guiana, making Kuijperers' work even more important. Documentation of the rare and endangered reptiles found in this area is essential. The information presented in this book is complemented by breathtaking photos of reptiles that many will never be lucky enough to see in person.
