Four years. Seven continents. A quest to document and preserve our last remaining wild lands: Wild Land is a wildlife book like no other. South African photograph­ers

Peter and Beverly Pickford have created an unparallel­ed portrait of some of our planet’s most untouched places: from the heat-beaten country of Namibia’s Skeleton Coast to Alaska and the Yukon’s abundance of water, in ocean, river and lake; from the subAntarct­ic islands’ windtossed shores in the south to the Arctic’s immense expanses of cracked pancake ice in the north; and the dazzling juxtaposit­ion of desert and water in Australia’s Kimberley to the remote and frozen peaks of Tibet and Patagonia.

Within these extreme landscapes, their images illuminate and celebrate life: polar bears, rhinos, bharal and humble lichen, are all evocativel­y pictured within the landscapes upon which they depend.
