Natural History Books for Indonesia

 For this tour the best birding book - indeed the only one that covers Eastern Java, Bali and our destinations in the Lesser Sundas - is the Lynx Edition Birds of the Indonesian Archipelago. This book is expensive and covers all of Indonesia save the Papuan provinces. It is expensive. 


As far as I can tell there is no field guide for the Mammals of Indonesia. There is a checklist, available as a free download at this site.

It is named CHECKLIST OF THE MAMMALS OF INDONESIA Scientific, English, Indonesia Name and Distribution Area Table in Indonesia Including CITES, IUCN and Indonesian Category for Conservation January 2020

Publisher: Puslit Biologi LIPIISBN: 978-979-579-108-9

Authors: Ibnu Maryanto, Datun Maharadatunkamsi, Anang Setiawan Achmadi, Sigit Wiantoro, Eko Sulistyadi, Masaaki Yoneda, Agustinus Suyanto, Jito Sugardjito

There is a A Naturalist's Guide to the Reptiles & Amphibians of Bali Paperback – 28 May 2020, available quite cheaply through Amazon and others.


Obviously the above book does not cover Eastern Java nor the Lesser Sundas.
