Elisabeth Fahrni Mansur & Rubaiyat Mansur are normally a modest pair. But if you ask them anything about the Sundarbans, that quickly changes.
When it comes to promoting cetacean conservation, under the banner of the Bangladesh Cetacean Diversity Project, you’ll quickly find they are staunch advocates of the whales and dolphins of Bangladesh. Having long worked as tour guides and researchers, their work has gone largely unnoticed, until recently, when they announced they had discovered that Bangladesh’s estuarine areas, especially around the Sundarbans, held massive populations of whales and dolphins.
Today we are proud to help them promote their new photography book on the Sundarban mangrove forest. The coffee table book is a joint production between the pair and German photographers Dr. Gertrud Neumann-Denzau and Dr. Helmut Denzau, who have been shooting inside this pristine forest for over 20 years. Entitled Living with Tides and Tigers – The Sundarbans Mangrove Forest, the book will help promote worldwide awareness of this unique nature sanctuary and home to the Royal Bengal Tiger.
A message from Elisabeth & Rubaiyat:
Dear Friends,
We are pleased to announce the launching of our new book ‘Living with Tides and Tigers – The Sundarbans Mangrove Forest’.
The stunning collection of photographs documents the wildlife, various ecological aspects and the people of this unique jungle. Interspersed with personal accounts about our experiences over the past nearly twenty years in the forest and insightful back-ground information, the attractive coffee-table book aims to increase awareness about this fragile ecosystem.
It is available from www.mowgliz.com, www.amazon.de from November 10th 2009, and will be available in Bangladesh from December 8th 2009 – making it an ideal Christmas present or Company Year-End gift!
Thank you for your interest and support,
Rubaiyat Mansur Mowgli & Elisabeth Fahrni Mansur
