The International League of Conservation Photographers In association with Conservation International and the CEMEX Conservation Book Series proudly announce the publication of their book A Climate for Life: Meeting the Global Challenge, a large-format illustrated book released internationally in the fall of 2008. 

Both English and Spanish-language editions of the book were published simultaneously.

With a foreword co-authored by eminent Harvard biologist E.O. Wilson and actor Harrison Ford, and a comprehensive introduction by Conservation International scientists led by president Russell A. Mittermeier, A Climate for Life examines the enormous impact of climate change on biodiversity and focuses on how nature itself might provide some of the solutions to this challenge.

A lavishly produced volume, A Climate for Life celebrates the diversity of life on Earth, and is a call to action and a blueprint to preserve it.
