Forest Planet

The Last Green Paradises
photographs by Markus Mauthe, text by Thomas Henningsen, foreword by Bill McKibben

The Earth’s last seven regions of ancient forest are important treasure troves on our planet. This book provides a fascinating insight into these green paradises and into the life that dwells within them. Tragically, these forests are under serious threat. Without measures taken to protect them on both the international and national levels, they will disappear within the space of just one generation.

Markus Mauthe traveled for five years through all the major primeval forests of the world, capturing the diversity and beauty of these wild habitats in his exceptionally beautiful photographs. His journey led from the Amazon to Patagonia, and even to Siberia. Essays by Thomas Henningsen and other renowned environmentalists make this a unique volume.
