THE WILL OF THE LAND  

Peter Dettling first visited Canada’s internationally renowned Rocky Mountains national parks in 1993. Immediately, he fell in love with the seemingly untouched wilderness and started to documented the beauty and splendour of life in the mountains of western Canada. In time, however, he gained insight into the realities of nature s growing struggle against developing tourism, ill-conceived transportation routes and questionable wildlife management practices.

Through Dettling’s stunning photography and passionate narrative,  The Will of the Land , serves as an incredible artistic testament to the beauty of the natural world and the sometimes painful truth of hyperdevelopment in majestic landscapes, offering the reader a dynamic and broad vision of what national parks should stand for in our ever-changing world.

 WILD HEART /VERGESSENCE WILDNIS

Wild heart was released in the fall of 2010 in Switzerland and currently not available in English. The original title of the book is " Vergessene Wildnis - Spurensuche in der Surselva". In this book Peter narrates his search for the last remaining pockets of "true wilderness" in the Swiss Alps and also his encounter with one lone wolf living in a region called Surselva. His encounter gave Peter Dettling the opportunity to get some of the first ever good quality pictures of a wolf on Swiss soil, that do not derive from a camera trap.

READ THE REVIEW

by Jim Brandenburg, world renowned nature photographer, conservationist and filmmaker.

"I feel like I have a brother in the name of Peter A. Dettling.  How many people know that 90% of wolf photographs seen are of "Hollywood" wolves - those that are bred, kept in a cage and delivered with a handler to the camera, totally out of context to their wild brethren? If the viewers only knew how much time and gifted inspiration Peter has given to making these rare and remarkably authentic wild wolf photographs! The guidance and generous support from the scientific team of Günther Bloch, Paul Paquet and Mike Gibeau has brought these hard earned photographs to the pages of this outstanding book." 


Spectacular colour photos document the return of wolves in the Swiss Alps and Western Europe.
