From the mid-1960s until 1981 I worked in plant
and animal ecology in Oxford, Thailand and Mauritius, with visits and
expeditions to Japan, Corsica, Ethiopia and the Ivory Coast.
The Mauritius project, studying endangered birds on the three
Mascarene Islands (Mauritius, Réunion, Rodrigues) in the Indian
Ocean, resulted in a book Studies of Mascarene Island birds,
edited by Tony Diamond, published in 1987, but out of print since the
mid-1990s. Since 1982 I
have run a bookshop (Inner Bookshop/Dodo Books) in Oxford with my wife
Ruth Ashcroft (also a former ecologist). Since the mid-1990s I have again been involved in
ornithological travel and the ecological history & conservation of
the Mascarene Islands, and have a new book jointly with Julian Hume
now out (2008) – LOST
LAND OF THE DODO. An
ecological history of Mauritius, Réunion & Rodrigues. The following recent publications for which PDFs are available can be downloaded by clicking on the titles. Publications prior to 2003 are not available as PDFs, but I may in due course scan them and make them available. For further details please contact me on anthony.cheke@dodobooks.com. Anthony Cheke
