Author: Sarah Markes

Synopsis: 

“In this exquisitely illustrated book, Sarah Markes has achieved something remarkable. Not only has she brought together a delightful selection of Eastern Africa’s biodiversity, both common and rare alike, but she has also delicately captured the essence and detail of each species. She invites us to view this beautiful miscellany through her unique talent while giving insight into the behaviour and conservation status of the plants and animals featured. To love is to nurture and I challenge anyone not to be inspired by these works of art”

“This book features an array of East Africa’s animals and plants – from iconic ‘Safari’; species such as lions, elephants and ostriches to less well-known frogs, fish and flowers. I hope it inspires readers to explore, look, listen and learn more, and ideally support conservation of the natural environment in any way possible. If it inspires anyone to draw and paint, that would be a bonus”
