Tiger Jungle by Iain Green

The world of the tiger is in turmoil; latest research suggests that the entire population in India may be only 1500 animals and decreasing. Hidden away in Central India, Bandhavgarh is one of the best surviving tiger habitats. Lavishly illustrated with more than 150 stunning photographs, by wildlife photographer, Iain Green, Tiger Jungle tells the intricate story of the lives of this small population of wild tigers and their forest home.

Central to the book, is the life of a tiger, known as Sundar. Through ten years of study, we see him grow from a year-old cub to dominant territorial male and father/grandfather of many young. As Sundar walks through the jungle, the habitat made famous by Kipling's 'Jungle Book', his daily journey takes him over the remains of lost civilisations, and below the walls of a fort belonging to epic Indian folklore.

With a personal and passionate foreword by international artist and conservationist, David Shepherd, Tiger Jungle offers a unique insight into the daily lives of the tiger - one of the world's most admired and endangered animals.

Makes an excellent gift for all wildlife lovers and anyone concerned with the preservation of endangered species and their environment. 2007. Hardback. 176 pp.
