Wildlife Magazine celebrates its 40th anniversary
Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ
Wildlife Magazine celebrates its 40th birthday this April issue
with a party of top writers and top photographs.
The
issue contains an exclusive interview with David Attenborough -
past advisory editor on the magazine and voted 'wildlife hero of
the past 40 years' by its readers. The major interview was conducted
by naturalist and TV presenter Chris Packham, who reveals what has
driven and inspired Sir David's life.
The
birthday issue also includes a new nature column by Britain's leading
nature writer Richard Mabey, a review of the major stories of the
past four decades, a selection of more than 20 classic photographs
reflecting the top photographers and artists who have contributed,
and the 40 classic books. Accompanying it is a free travel supplement
featuring top wilderness destinations.
Plus,
the magazine includes the first in a series of special pull-out
practical field guides that can also be used as a poster frieze.
The April issue field guide is devoted to butterflies.
Originally
launched as Animals in 1963, the magazine became Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Wildlife 20
years ago. Rosamund Kidman Cox has edited the magazine for more
than 20 years and has succeeded in making the title Britain's leading
wildlife magazine.
"I
count myself as tremendously lucky to have such a wonderful job
working on a magazine I love, with contributors who are my heroes,
photographs that are the most beautiful in the world and a subject
that is eternally fascinating."
The
cover features an unforgettable shot of a great white shark, reflecting
the inclusion of a classic behaviour article inside, which reveals
that sharks are among the most intelligent animals in the sea.
