Biodiversidad a Través de un Recorrido Fotográfico
Eladio Fernández
Foreword by Edward O. Wilson
Introduction by Philippe Bayard

Translated by Gustavo Romero
A Dominican-based conservationist and photographer, Fernández is documenting the efforts of a distinguished team of international scientists as they unravel the workings of evolution being played out on the island of Hispaniola. What Fernández captures here so vividly is not just the amazing variety of living creatures that have erupted in evolutionary isolation, but the urgency of scientists racing to give that variety a name before it vanishes.
