Advantages: very informative, well editied and assembled, comrehensive and approachable

Disadvantages: none!

For anyone with an interest in the natural world, wishing for a refreshing and absorbing insight into the latest news, breakthroughs, updates and research in the world of natural studies, this is easily the best place to start.

The design of the magazine makes it easily accessible for all people, using appropriate and interesting diagrams and beautiful photographs to capture your attention and imagination.
There is a comprehensive list of different regular sections, including New Moon that gives a fascinating run through the natural events, patterns and changes you can expect to see in the countryside and of wildlife in Britain such as new flowering plants, bird visitors, animal behaviour, the cycle of the seasons and the lunar cycle: all relevant to the month of the edition.
There are shorts, detailing scientific research into biological sciences and interesting snippets of breakthroughs in the field of wildlife research.
The main articles are superbly written and edited by some of the most experienced and knowledgeable people in their field, imparting information in a very engaging and ‘easily absorbed’ way.

No scientific knowledge is needed to get full enjoyment out of this magazine - even though much of the content deals with scientific research – as the writing style is easily understandable and approachable for everyone.

The diversity of the content is the magazine’s greatest asset as there is sure to be much inside to please all readers whether it be under the sea, in the air or on the ground, flora or fauna. There are also good guides on the latest events and conventions, book releases, videos and television programmes, with many features coinciding with new BBC documentaries such as the excellent Blue Planet coverage.

Many writings of the magazine lean towards examining the earth’s environmental condition and our impact on it. Conservation and ecology are major themes throughout
the magazine, which I think is important if we, as a species are to act on the changes we have made on the world.

BBC Wildlife magazine is a highly informative and enjoyable read, excellently assembled with a wealth of interesting and relevant articles and fantastic illustrations and photography (from the BBCs comprehensive library) for anyone with an interest in the living world that surrounds us.
