Linked to a television series of eight one-hour programmes about European nature and wildlife, this book explores the richness and beauty of the differing European landscapes. These vary enormously, from the arid southern lands to the cold northern wastes, from the high peaks to the grasslands, and from the deserted wilderness to the urban jungle. The book examines the plants and animals that coexist in each of these terrains, such as the wolf in Greece and Spain, polar bears in Norway and Sweden, the lynx and the tiger in Poland and Russia, and the brown deer in Bulgaria and Romania.

Text and color photographs explore 68 wilderness areas of interest to those who care about the preservation of our natural environment.
