Dear Sir,
I do need some photos of the birds of Socotra and Pemba 2 islands missing for my book title “ Birds of the Indian Ocean”
I have visited 18 islands and the book will have over 3000 photos include 260 endemic species having some missing photos will definitely complete this publication. A copy of the book will be sent to you with my compliments. We hope the book will be published May 2o19.
My name is Ramen and I am a wildlife conservationist, an RAF trained photographer, an aviculturist and a writer who is highly motivated and passionate about taking photographs of and writing books on rare and endangered species of birds. This book “Birds of the Indian Ocean” is much more than a book about birds but also an educational tool and source of reference for students, wildlife conservationists and other related players. It is planned that high quality images will make the book attractive and inspirational. It will be a book that I hope anyone would be proud to be associated with.
The publication would be an a compilation of my research and authentic photo collection of all the endemic, oceanic, migratory and exotic birds of the Indian Ocean as well as offering my 50 years of expertise and experience in bird breeding and wildlife bird photography of international standard to the people of these wonderful islands of the Indian Ocean. it would be a true collection of the treasures the Indian ocean holds in terms of bird sanctuary and rare species.
These places include Christmas Island,Cocos Keeling, Nicobar and Andaman Islands,,Lakshadweep, Madagascar and Sri-Lanka and more, 18 islands in all. The project is non-profit but aimed at highlighting the danger of extinction these endemic birds face, to raise awareness of the beauty and fragility of the natural world and educate the next generation on these bird species.
This project is focused at wildlife conservation which has become much more urgent with increasing development pressures threatening critically sensitive habitats across these islands and islets.
Your support would make a profound difference in keeping these small islands a home for these birds as well as other wildlife we cherish. . I hope that you too will gain from association with a groundbreaking book illustrating the beauty and diversity of the region.
Best regards
Hope to hear from you
N.Ramen
