A new edition of the best-selling jungle photo book, featuring 186 images of rainforest animals and plants
Stunning, informative, and action-oriented: an urgent plea for the protection of the rainforest
From nature photographer and environmentalist Christian Ziegler, recipient of World Press Photo Award, Wildlife
Photographer of the Year, and European Wildlife Photographer of the Year awards
Some 60 percent of all the world's species live in jungles. In this best-selling book and celebration of biodiversity, award-winning wildlife photographer Christian Ziegler and biologist Daisy Dent create a monument to jungle life ― from Panama to Congo, Madagascar to Australia.
With 186 color photographs and expert texts, they show us some of the most fascinating specimens of jungle flora and fauna: tiny driver ants, nimble ocelots, bonobos, cassowaries, chameleons, colorful orchids, and carnivorous plants. A visually stunning journey through the rain forest, and an urgent reminder of how much our world depends on the preservation of tropical ecosystems.
