China is one of the most diverse countries on Earth, whose habitats range from the vast deserts of the northwest and the Tibetan Plateau, through forested mountain slopes, to a myriad of rivers and lakes and the steamy tropical forests of the far south. China is home to many rare and threatened species, and conservation is now a firm priority for the Chinese government.
Richly illustrated throughout with specially commissioned world-class photographs, Green China is both a celebration of China's natural world and a general introduction to the flora, fauna and landscapes of one of the world's most diverse countries.
