CHAGOS CONSERVATION TRUST
Birds of the Chagos Islands by Charles Sheppard and John Topp.
"Less and less room is left for birds in this world as the human population continues to increase and to disturb their natural habitats. The Chagos Archipelago is an exceptional refuge for birds, providing habitat, food and breeding grounds for many species. At least 91 species have been sighted here, about two dozen of which breed, which means that in this small group of islands there is a remarkably rich diversity of birds."-- excerpt, page 3
