Thomas Marent started photographing natural history subjects, particularly birds and butterflies, in the mountains of his native Switzerland, and has dedicated nearly half of his life to recording wildlife across five continents. He is the author of DK's Frog and Butterfly.

This awe-inspiring collection of over 500 amazing photographs will open your eyes to the wonders of life under the canopy. The result of nature photographer, Thomas Marent's 16-year journey across five continents, Rainforest celebrates the fascinating behaviour and incredible variety of rainforest animals and plants - from resourceful leaf-cutter ants to the multi-hued clouds of butterflies and birds that flutter high in the tree tops. Incredibly, more is known about our universe than the millions of plant and animal species that teem inside these great hothouses of life. Rainforest takes you inside this mysterious realm, with breathtaking photographs and absorbing personal insight. It has been published in association with the Rainforest Foundation, who receive a donation for every copy sold.
