Description
Book SynopsisWild Lives presents a celebration of the beauty, ferocity, and revival of Earth’s endangered wildlife through the lens of legendary photographer Art Wolfe.Wild Lives is a celebration of the extraordinary diversity of species that inhabit the planet. Some are common, some rare, and many are conservation success stories, species that have been brought back from the edge of extinction. Over his forty-year career, Art Wolfe has photographed many species that were once on endangered species lists, but are now flourishing (such as the bald eagle and humpback whale). These recoveries are an uplifting testament to the resilience of life when it is given a chance.
From amphibians and reptiles to mammals and birds,
Wild Lives portrays an earthly aesthetic millions of years in the making. Wolfe has photographed more than 500 species in 60 countries, and the never-before-seen work in Wild forms his most comprehensive, globe-spanning book of photography he has ever published.
Accompanying Wolfe’s photos are essays by renowned conservationist, Gregory Green. Focusing on the why of wildlife conservation and recovery, Green discusses the redistribution of animals and their habitats dating all the way back to the Ice Age.
Together, Wolfe and Green have crafted a monograph that will not only shed new light on the creatures that surround us, but on humanity as a species as well.
