Ornithologists indicate that Peru and Colombia have the greatest number of bird species in the world (more than 1,800 endemic species).

Bird-watching tourism is on the rise in Peru, and this scientific work about Peruvian birds is the first supplementary material that observers of nature can rely on. Besides being a photographic catalogue of bird species that includes those species now under threat of extinction, the book also tells the history of the study of birds in Peru, since before the arrival of the Spanish conquerors until the present day.
