"In Wildlands Philanthropy, writer Tom Butler and photographer Antonio Vizeanno take readers on a visually spectacular tour of preserved landscapes across the Americas and around the globe. Behind each of these places saved for nature, are people. The forty national and state parks, wildlife refuges, and private sanctuaries featured in the book represent the many thousands of natural areas that have been secured by American conservationists using their personal initiative and wealth. In the diversity of people and areas profiled, Wildlands Philanthropy suggests that everyone, regardless of means, can join this great American tradition of individual action on behalf of wild nature."--BOOK JACKET.
