He has a deep love for nature and has devoted himself tirelessly to the grand cause of protecting natural and cultural resources. He is the author of China’s Scenic Areas. In his work, he often engaged in discussions and research with me, and we became close friends. Mr. Wang Zaosheng traveled extensively, exploring the landscapes of China. At the same time, he made multiple professional visits to foreign countries like the United States, capturing precious scenes. This book collects nearly 200 photographs taken by Mr. Wang Zaosheng from 25 national parks in countries such as the United States, Mexico, Kenya, South Africa, and Egypt. The United States is the first country in the world to establish national parks, pioneering the history of national parks with a diverse range of types and abundant resources. Mexico is home to the mysterious civilizations created by indigenous peoples. Kenya and other African countries are renowned for their rich wildlife and plant resources, as well as their pristine natural ecosystems, which are unmatched. Their management standards are also very high, earning them the reputation as a paradise for wildlife.
