In 80 Vögeln um die Welt

This extraordinary book tells the stories of 80 birds from around the world: from the sociable weaver bird in Namibia, which builds massive communal nests with multiple breeding cavities in the desert, to the bar-headed goose in China, a migratory bird that flies at an altitude of 9,000 meters and crosses the Himalayas twice a year. Many of these birds appear in legends and myths, some are national emblems, and others have inspired scientific discoveries or initiated conservation projects. Each of them has a story that reflects our connection to them.
