The Rapid Assessment Program (RAP) surveys have been a highly
effective conservation tool for Conservation International and a
multitude of partners. RAP surveys provide a quick assessment of
the biological value of an area and identify species in need of
conservation action. This exciting book outlines the inception,
history, and achievements of this program during its first two
decades, 1990-2010. The editors profile nearly eighty expeditions
to some of the most remote but highly threatened sites around the
world and relay personal stories from the field. Illustrated with
hundreds of photos taken during the RAP surveys, this book includes
the first photos of many newly discovered species of animals and
plants, and other rarely photographed jewels of terrestrial,
freshwater and marine biodiversity.
