Take an inspiring journey into sixteen very special and important landscapes each of which is brought to life in glorious large-scale illustrations.

From tropical rainforest to scorching deserts, these protected environments are home to rare and beautiful animals and plants which are shown here in glorious illustrations that display their finest details.
While the illustrations will draw the readers in, there is also a wealth of information included in the fact file at the end making this a book that is full of value as well as beauty.
This captivating book brings the natural world into sharp focus.
