WWF Sweden gives Widstrand & Lundgren The Panda Book of the Year Award 2018 for the book
”Ett vildare liv” (“A WILDER LIFE”)
A WILDER LIFE is a magnificent coffee-table book about the return of the wild, often called “rewilding”.
”We want to see more of the wild coming back into our lives. We believe that almost all places can become one or several steps wilder. Often with surprisingly small efforts leading to great results. We ask ourselves what we could all do for the wild, in our daily lives, suggesting a number of possible actions. At the same time also demonstrating some of the latest successes within rewilding and nature conservation. It really works. Through emotional imagery from the Wild Wonders of Europe and Rewilding Europe initiatives, we showcase Europe’s amazing natural heritage. The powerful visuals underline how absolutely exciting and loveable nature is in our part of the world.”
Staffan Widstrand and Magnus Lundgren
