Ballestas

starting at €90.00

The rugged Las Islas Ballestas islands in Peru are home to an incredible number of birds, such as guanay and neotropic cormorants (Phalacrocorax bougainvilliorum and P. brasilianus, also P. olivaceus), Peruvian and blue-footed boobies (Sula variegata and S. nebouxii), Peruvian and brown pelicans (Pelecanus thagus and P. occidentalis), Inca terns (Larosterna inca), and Humboldt penguins (Spheniscus humboldti). The pieces of land protruding from the Pacific Ocean are very small and birds are head to head. Tourists are not allowed on the protected islands, but they can be viewed from boats. The smell of guano is a reminder of the lucrative fertilizer business of the past and the soundscape of the importance of protecting the island's wildlife.

THEIR LAND – A set of organisms in their habitats

Kuvasarja erilaisista yksin tai yhdyskunnissa elävistä eliöistä reviireillään. Oma maa on sen tai niiden ratkaisevan tärkeä elinpiiri, joka ei tunne ihmisen luomia valtion-, tontti- tai muita rajoja. Omassa maassaan eläimellä on niin oman kuin muiden lajien kesken paitsi rauhaisaa rinnakkaiseloa myös keskinäisiä kahinoita sekä luonnonvalintaan ja tasapainoon perustuvaa kovaakin kilpailua – olemassaolon taistelua. 

The images in this set can be ordered with or without a white border and stylish info text.
