to our library! In 2000 we published the first modern local-language bird field guide to Vietnam. Entitled Chim Viet Nam it covers about 300 species, or one third of the avifauna. This was followed in 2003 by Birds of Myanmar, again a local language field guide introducing a selection of common birds. At the end of 2003 we published the first fully comprehensive field guide to the birds of Laos. Our occasional publications have included a comprehensive guide to the Slipper Orchids of Vietnam and an illustrated checklist to the butterflies of Vietnam.

The
Directory of Important Bird Areas is a contribution to conservation planning
in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam for the 21st Century. The directory uses
birds as indicators to identify a set of internationally important sites
for biodiversity conservation. Detailed site accounts on all important
bird areas in each country are included, with information on birds and
biodiversity, threats and conservation actions. In addition, each site
account includes conservation management recommendations.
