What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Before travelling to the Philippines in 2017 for BBC World News, I searched for a book to give a thorough overview of the diverse yet highly threatened wildlife across this fascinating archipelago. And at last, a couple of years too late, I have finally found it. ‘Wild Philippines’ is much more than just a coffee-table book, it is a one-stop shop to ensure anyone planning a visit will hit the ground running. Meticulously researched and with accompanying photographs that illustrate beautifully all habitats and many of the key species, it is obvious that this book is the culmination of years spent by the author faithfully recording this island nation’s nature.” Mike Dilger.
