Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Step into the mist-shrouded mountains of Borneo and discover one of the world's most elusive and mesmerizing birds-the Bulwer's Pheasant (Lophura bulweri).

Drawing on ornithological studies, molecular genetics, and indigenous ecological knowledge, it provides readers with a multidisciplinary portrait of how science and tradition converge to protect one of Southeast Asia's most threatened birds.Inside, readers will find: Detailed chapters on the taxonomy, anatomy, and behavior of Lophura bulweri, enriched with insights from field researchers and museum archives.A deep exploration of ecological adaptation, from dietary ecology to montane habitat specialization.A thorough analysis of modern conservation genetics, cryobanking, and global breeding programs that safeguard genetic diversity for future generations.Innovative coverage of AI-assisted habitat monitoring, climate modeling, and community-driven forest restoration initiatives.Reflections on the cultural, mythological, and symbolic significance of the species in indigenous Bornean cosmology and Southeast Asian art.Case studies of ecotourism, citizen science, and education programs fostering ethical coexistence and sustainable livelihoods.Written in a professional, educational tone yet accessible to naturalists, students, and conservation practitioners, this handbook bridges the worlds of science, technology, and cultural heritage.
