“It has been almost 10 years in the making, starting with my visit to Peru’s Manú National Park in 2006, right up to my Yellowstone and Grand Teton trip last year,” Burrard-Lucas says.

“My wife, Natalie, is a brilliant writer and has joined me on many of my trips. She wrote the text for this book during her maternity leave.”

The 240-page picture book Top Wildlife Sites of the World is available in both print and digital formats.
