"The Global Trees Campaign tells the tales of the world's most rare, vaunted, important, and charismatic trees and the conservators and scientists they have working in the field to save them. The book will celebrate trees while drawing a broad audience's attention to their plight and the GTC's mission. The coauthors have interviewed international tree experts and weave tales full of interesting facts and sidebar factoids, bringing the GTC's work to life. Photos add richness and context to the narrative"-- Provided by publisher.
