The Living Wild

A celebration in photographs of the most spectacular of the world's animals and their environments. As we look into the new millennium we are in danger of destroying our planet's wonderful diversity of life. Art Wolfe has created this portrait of the animals that we still have time to save, examining those now considered extremely rare, and celebrating the successes of their conservation. Covering 42 countries across seven habitats, from polar to tropical, from oceanic islands to high mountains, he takes us to areas inaccessible to even the most determined of travellers. There are essays by leading naturalists and field notes for each photograph.
