wildlife awareness manual

The second edition of the Wildlife Awareness Manual field guide covering the Antarctic Peninsula, South Shetland Islands & South Orkney Islands was published on 31 May 2021. The new edition has comprehensively revised and updated over 160 maps which show the locations of breeding wildlife (penguins, petrels, shags, fulmars, seals), physical features, scientific stations and protected sites in the Antarctic Peninsula region. Photographs illustrate local wildlife species and frequently visited sites. The manual is designed to help pilots avoid wildlife, although the maps, photographs and summary information on wildlife and stations will be of interest to the more general audience visiting Antarctica.

The 156-page WAM is designed in the format of a field notebook (A5 format, 140×210 mm) with durable covers and a wiro binding. The manual is published on special durable synthetic media designed for field use, which is water- and tear-resistent.
