Author Description

The SEE Noah' s Ark Biodiversity Conservation Book Series consists of five short-story picture books on endangered animal species in Southwest China. Each volume focuses on a different animal, following the path of a particular creature on its quest for survival. The series is part of the Southwest Project Center of the Alashan Society of Entrepreneurs & Ecology (SEE), one of the first NGOs set up in China, back in 2004. The stories are based on the real-life experiences of front-line rangers and locals in Southwest China, and can be fun and educational for young readers. This volume follows the journey of a young green peafowl, which is also known as the Indonesian peafowl, or the dragon bird. Only around 600 still exist in the wild in China - in central and southern Yunnan Province. It is a very striking bird, with colorful plumage.
