About British Wildlife
Since its launch in 1989, British Wildlife has established its position as the leading natural history magazine in the UK, providing essential reading for both enthusiast and professional naturalists and wildlife conservationists. There is no other publication that offers such high-quality, authoritative, well-researched and accessible articles on such a wide range of subjects. Published 8 times per year, each issue has 84 information-packed pages. There are several in-depth articles in each issue, covering such diverse subjects as the wildlife of London’s churchyards, identifying and recording Britain’s smaller ladybirds, restoration of mountain woodland in the Cairngorms, and the conservation of the Basking Shark. With contributions from top experts, British Wildlife provides the best way for naturalists and wildlife conservationists to keep abreast of new discoveries and the latest trends.
