The world??s fourth largest island now appeals to a broad spectrum of visitors, from those seeking hard adventure to others content to enjoy the beautiful beaches and accessible national parks. This new edition has updates on the main cities by residents, as well as contributions from distinguished naturalists and anthropologists. Other new information includes recently created national parks and newly discovered species of flora and fauna.
