"The Living Wild celebrates the astonishing diversity of the wildlife that still survives at the beginning of the century with a magnificent new collection of photographs by Art Wolfe.".

"For this book, Art Wolfe has chosen a new way of photographing his subjects. In recognition of the critical role that habitat preservation plays in wildlife conservation, wherever possible he photographs his subjects in their principal environment. He tells us how and why he took each photograph with such rich detail as makes clear how monumental was his undertaking.".

"The Living Wild is a portrait of a world very few have an opportunity to experience. And it is a passionate call to action on behalf of all the species that we still have time to save."--BOOK JACKET.
