Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Dazzling in its imagery and powerful in its message of conservation, Greenpeace features a dozen full-color portraits by the world's top nature photographers, including Art Wolfe and Frans Lanting: emperor penguins waddling across an ice floe. A manatee and her baby gliding through glassy Florida waters. Alaska's tundra turned into a tapestry of red, yellow, and orange fall foliage. From the expressive face of a Japanese macaque to a Scottish woodland abloom with bluebells, each picture is a poignant reminder of just what is at stake. As always, all royalties from the sale of this calendar go to support the work of Greenpeace.

Book Description

From Greenpeace—the name synonymous worldwide with peaceful environmental activism—this is the calendar with a conscience, marrying gorgeous and dramatic nature photography with a passionate message of conservation. Encounter vistas and faces of the wilderness, poignant reminders of what is at stake: A group of Golden Lion Tamarin Monkeys huddled on a branch. A magnificent Sperm Whale swimming in the Caribbean. The soaring buttes of Auyantepui, Venezuela. A Polar Bear, muzzle dusted with snow, in the Canadian Arctic. Images are from the world's foremost nature photographers, including Franz Lanting and Daniel J. Cox. All royalties go to support the work of Greenpeace.
