Nature's Strongholds: The World's Great Wildlife Reserves
From Botswana to the Camargue, from Denali to Komodo Island, this book covers more than 600 reserves in over 80 countries. The authors, long-time nature writers and conservationists, have included information on how to visit these extraordinary sites, their ecological significance and some historical background. Most of the world's charismatic and endangered species--many depicted here in gorgeous color photographs--owe their continued existence to such reserves, the last places on earth where nature remains more or less intact. The volume itself is a terrific resource.Editors of Scientific American
