Wallacea in a broad sense, including New Guinea, is one of the 34 "Global Biodiversity Hotspots" listed by Conservation International. This area holds enormous biodiversity, and has recently been classified as having the highest in the World (Reichholf J.H. 2003. Malesian Island Biogeography. from Alfred R. Wallace to Robert H. MacArthur and beyond: What Makes "Wallacea" so unique? - J. Zool. Soc. Wallacea 1: 4-11). This region has long been the last blank spot on the map and in a biological sense remains a real treasure for all biological disciplines. The unique situation of this region being relatively intact for so long, with critically increasing pressure on environment and natural resources during last decades.

Collaboration between different biological disciplines and specialists from over the World is a possibility for summarizing known information of this region and providing better basement for conservation of its biodiversity in the future.

Professionals and amateurs both pleased to contribute the first and forthcoming volumes of the book. Potential sponsors or financial contributors are welcomed.
