Description - Natural Wonders by Ruper Matthews
A comprehensive guide to 52 places around the globe, this volume includes a six-page gazetteer, giving information on a further 44 geographical features and places. Also included is in an 11-page guide to the National Parks of the world. The book takes the reader on a journey round these great natural sites. The plants and animals that live within these areas are also captured, including: the corals and fish of the Great Barrier Reef; the lemurs, aye-ayes and baobab trees of Madagascar; and the rare birds of Las Marismas and the Okefenokee swamp. Yet, despite all this beauty, the human appetite for destruction never ceases, the natural world is under permanent threat. By drawing attention to the urgency of the problem, the book seeks to redress the balance, and preserve humanity's most precious heritage - the natural world.
