Books By James Lowen - Author

James Lowen (jameslowen.com) has been immersed in all aspects of natural history since he was able to walk, and is now a fully-fledged nature writer, editor, guide and photographer. James has written 15 books about wildlife and travel, landing two Travel Guidebook of the Year awards (plus two 'shortlistings'), a Nautilus Book Silver Award and a 2022 Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing longlisting. A self-confessed South America addict, he became hooked when spending three teenage months surveying wildlife in Paraguayan rainforests. In total, he has spent five years working in this great, wildlife-rich continent and is rarely happier than when seeking jaguars in the Pantanal, antpittas in the Andes or penguins in Patagonia. When confined to the UK, James scratches his tropical-Americas itch by editing Neotropical Birding, the only magazine focusing exclusively on birdwatching in Latin America, and the ornithological journal Cotinga, which also focuses on the New World tropics.
