The most complete life list yet to the world's best places to see
wildlife-both on and off the beaten path-from bird watching in an
Ecuadorian cloud forest and floating among the corals in the Maldives to
volunteering at wild animal rescue groups or caring for injured
endangered rhinos in Africa.
For anyone who is passionate about wildlife, this bucket list offers
around-the-world listings of ways to experience animals and birds in
their natural habitats. Fun, life-affirming activities are the focus
from action-packed adventures (riding with wild horses in France,
snorkeling with sharks in Belize) to more relaxing experiences (walking
through a wildflower reserve in South Africa or floating among corals in
the Maldives).
Each activity is location-specific and geographically unique - kayaking
with whales in Canada, watching snow monkeys take a sauna in Japan,
going on a desert safari in Dubai. The book also addresses the issues
facing vulnerable and endangered species, and suggests ways that
travelers can help. Conservation-themed adventures include working as a
Giant Panda keeper in China, volunteering at an endangered orangutan
rescue in Indonesia, and guarding baby turtles in Costa Rica as they
make their way from beach to ocean.
Everyone has lifelong dreams of experiences they yearn to have, and this
bucket list provides all the inspiration and practical advice necessary
for the seasoned globetrotter or armchair traveller alike.
