About this product
Product Information
A breathtaking portrait of Russia's remote far eastern forest, and of the world's most extraordinary owl The forests near to where Russia, China and North Korea meet in a tangle of barbed wire are the only place on earth where brown bears, leopards and tigers co-exist. They are also home to one of nature's rarest birds, the Blakiston's fish owl. A chance encounter with this huge, strange bird was to change wildlife researcher Jonathan Slaght's life beyond measure. During the following two decades, Slaght's quest to safeguard the elusive owl from extinction took him over thousands of miles of forbidding and threatened terrain. Thrilling and inspiring, his book is a beautifully crafted meditation on the natural world and what it means to devote one's career to a single pursuit.Product Identifiers

A conservation project cum adventure story
I bought this as a Christmas present for a friend. I first read it two years ago and loved it. The author decides to write his PhD thesis on the little known Blakiston fish owl whose habitat in the far east of Russia is fast disappearing because of logging activities in the region, thus threatening its very survival. It is anything but dry and reads like an exciting adventure story. I recently re-read it again and it was as compelling as the first time I read it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
