Overview

As a remote archipelago far offshore in the Pacific Ocean, Hawai'i hosts a unique and varied assemblage of animals, making it a living laboratory full of intrigue and exciting opportunities for exploration and study. The varied terrain supports major habitats like coastal shrublands, lowland dry forests, montane wet forests, bogs, and shore cliffs. These are home to many endemic birds, one endemic mammal--Hawaiian Hoary Bat--thousands of unique insects, and over 100 endemic plants. To better acquaint you with the remarkable natural history of the Aloha State, we have packaged together three portable references--Birds, Trees & Wildflowers, and Wildlife--in an attractive acetate bag. Each guide features beautiful illustrations of over 100 common species as well as an ecoregion map showing top bird-finding, botanical, or wildlife-viewing hotspots. Laminated for durability, these lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guides comprise a terrific three-pack for educators, learners, naturalists, birders, botanists, and wildlife enthusiasts who wish to become more familiar with over 300 Hawaiian plants and animals and peer more closely into their fascinating lives. Made in the USA.
