With captivating artwork and a message that parents will be proud to share with their children, this stunning collection of paintings depicts the world’s most threatened habitats and the animals that live in them.

Bateman’s lifelong study of the world’s biodiversity and his ardent campaign to protect it have taken him to every continent and inspired art that has found its way into homes everywhere. Vanishing Habitats brings to life scenes from his travels: a scarce few American Bison roaming the Great Plains of North America; the Bowhead Whale, imperiled by pollution and climate change in the Bering Sea; and the Mountain Gorillas of the Congo Basin, facing extinction due to rapid deforestation. The struggle of these creatures tells a story that is the same around the world. Vanishing Habitats leaves its readers with a deep appreciation and concern for the abundance of life that surrounds them.

ROBERT BATEMAN’S lifelong passion for wildlife and nature led to his second career as an advocate for environmental concerns. His books for children include Safari, the award-winning bestseller Backyard Birds and Birds of Prey.
