Jan Latta

When author and photographer Jan Latta first came face-to-face with an endangered mountain gorilla in Rwanda, the experience changed her life. She became determined to inspire children to learn about endangered animals and ensure their survival, and so spent the next 14 years of her life travelling to some of the remotest parts of the world. From her journeys emerged Diary of a Wildlife Photographer, a journal of her adventures in the wild, and the True to Life book series for children.
