Scope: Illustrations, Editorial Development, Publication Design and Layout, Print and Publishing
A landmark publication, crafted with patience and illustrated with a purpose.
Over a year-long journey, artistry, research and conservation came together to bring more than 200 protected bird species of the Maldives to life across over 400 beautifully curated pages.
Developed under the ENDhERI Programme, with support from the Global Environment Facility and the United Nations Environment Programme, Protected Birds of the Maldives is the definitive visual tribute to the country’s birdlife.
The precision, consistency and creative discipline behind the project shaped a publication thoughtfully designed to inform, preserve and inspire generations.
