EK is excited to announce the release of Pat Lowe’s new book, Life in the Pindan. The Kimberley holds part of Northern Australia’s vast landscape of savannah, the most extensive, most intact in the world. With 70% of the world’s tropical savannah under crops or concrete, time is running out to save what’s left.

The Pindan, a savannah landscape of shrubland and woodland, is a treasure-house of wildlife, little known or explored by visitors to the Kimberley, or even most non-indigenous residents. Often overlooked by people used to towering trees and rainforests, the Pindan is surprisingly varied and rewards close attention. And, like so many other landscapes, it is under threat.

This book offers non-specialists a glimpse into this undervalued ecosystem and others neighbouring it, showing the reader how interdependent natural systems are.

'LIFE IN THE PINDAN is a ripper book. So pleasant to handle, beautiful and easy to read. The photos alone make it a coffee table winner. But Pat Lowe’s aim is to get us feeling good about, and wanting to help protect, the Pindan. She succeeds wonderfully on both counts. What a delight!' Bob Brown

'This is such a welcome and overdue piece of work about an ecosystem so often overlooked and yet so rich and important. Thousands of people come to the Kimberley to sit on the beach and look seaward when behind them a threatened treasure lies ignored. Pat Lowe’s survey of the Pindan woodlands is an indispensable resource for every traveller and nature lover.' Tim Winton
