From the Foreword: This book is unique in being a window to the wildlife of the state. Its peculiarity lies in the fact that it speaks more through pictures than words and justifies the saying that a picture is worth is worth a thousand words’! Nonetheless, the book is not devoid of words. The captions given are brief yet expressive. Each picture is adequately explained which tells about one or the other aspect of the state’s wildlife. In addition, the book also gives information about important wildlife habitats like the Rann of Kachchh, moist deciduous forests, dry deciduous and thorn forests, grasslands, wetlands and mangroves.
