Robert Bateman's skill at depicting a marvellous variety of birds and mammals within beautifully rendered landscapes has made him one of the most acclaimed wildlife artists in the world today. A prominent spokesman for the environment, he has donated paintings and prints that have raised over a million pounds to help preserve wildlife habitats and protect endangered species. The focus of this book is on Bateman the painter and the conservationist. In the book's opening text section, author Rick Archbold describes how Bateman's development as both an artist and naturalist led him to an acute awareness of the fragility of our environment and why it must be preserved. Then, with full-colour plates, the book goes on to showcase more than 130 Bateman paintings.
