Images for Conservation - Book

This dazzling volume filled with nearly 300 dramatic full-color photographs brings the bounty of the borderlands to the coffee table. These images leave no doubt just how much wildlife lives here, where Texas and Mexico meet - possibly more per acre than anywhere else in the United States.

Visit our nation's last frontier through the eyes of 20 wildlife photographers from the world-over as they focus their lenses on the harsh mesquite and cactus badlands just north of the international border. In this third volume in the Images for Conservation Pro-Tour series, these pros work their shutter fingers to the bone as they compete in the 3rd bi-annual Pro-Tour of Nature Photography Contest and document nature's life on the line.

While the emphasis is definitely on the photos, Images for Conservation: Book Three - Borderlands of Laredo, Texas Edition also includes a biography of each photographer, an entertaining history of the participating ranches, a moving dedication to rancher and philanthropist Renato Ramirez written by Mary O. Parker, a motivating forward by Texas Parks and Wildlife Executive Director, Carter P. Smith, and a piece by Images for Conservation founder, John Martin, reminding us of the important role nature photography plays in helping conserve habitat. The book was edited by Gail M. Hoffman, Executive Director of Images for Conservation (who also wrote all the ranch-history pieces).

The non-profit Images for Conservation Fund was founded in 2003 and is dedicated to conserving habitat and helping landowners through the economically sustainable business of nature photography.
