From multi-colored reefs teeming with fish and corals, to smoldering volcanoes and dense rainforests harboring a wide variety of plants and animals, the Philippines boasts an impressive and precious natural diversity. This evocative, yet practical, exploration of the country's wildlife and wilderness areas brings to life the natural splendor of these richly endowed areas. With 310 photographs, all the major parks of the country are described. Specially drawn color maps show each area's main features, and visitor information panels provide fully up-to-date details on access, accommodation, and activities including hiking, rafting, birdwatching, fishing, and diving. This stunning volume is a great souvenir for visitors and a wonderful introduction to the wildlife and landscapes of this extraordinary country.
