As the year comes to a close, we look back with pride on everything that went into 2025.

Much of our time has been devoted to laying the foundations of what we hope will become our next flagship series, the Handbook of the Reptiles of the World, with Volume 1, Turtles and Crocodiles, scheduled for release in 2026. It is a huge undertaking, and one we have been quietly working on behind the scenes.

Still, alongside this long-term project, we made space to publish new books. Fewer than in some previous years, yes, but no less meaningful, especially for a small publishing house with a small and very dedicated team.

From regional field guides to deeply specialised natural history, these are the books we published in 2025:

📖 Birds of Vietnam (2nd Edition)
📖 Birds of New Guinea (2nd Edition)
📖 ¿Cabezas de Chorlito? Inteligencia e innovación en las aves
📖 Mammals of the Southwestern United States.
📖 Chinches pentatomomorfas de la península ibérica

Our heartfelt thanks to the authors, illustrators, editors, collaborators, and readers who made these books possible.
We are closing the year inspired, motivated, and already looking ahead. 2026 has a lot in store.

“Once you start experiencing birds, it’s difficult to stop.”

A powerful and deeply personal reflection on how birding can become a way of reconnecting with the natural world, finding focus, and learning to care more deeply. A piece worth reading, even if you discover it a little later.

It began as a distraction when I was battling addiction. Now the more birds I recognise, the more I feel part of the natural world

We loved this recent Vogue article by Olivia Jordan Cornelius, which reflects on how birdwatching has quietly moved from niche pastime to something deeply meaningful for many people. Not because it is fashionable, but because it helps us slow down, reconnect with nature, and be present.

As the piece reminds us, you do not need rare species, expensive equipment, or expert knowledge to begin. Birds are everywhere. All it takes is looking up, listening, and allowing yourself a moment of attention.

For us, birdwatching has always been about curiosity, observation, and wonder. Field guides are simply one way of deepening that relationship, page by page, species by species.

“I’d join my parents – keen birders – on their countryside rambles, stealthily walking along the Sussex Downs, praying my goth friends wouldn’t see me doing something so mortifyingly tame,” Olivia Jordan Cornelius recalls. “Now, birdwatching has been dubbed a ‘hot girl hobby’.”

Non human primates show incredible diversity, from powerful apes to the tiny and expressive marmosets of South America. Marmosets are known for their claw-like nails, close family groups, and rich vocal communication that helps them navigate life in dense forests. 🐒

Many primate species face habitat loss and increasing pressure from the illegal pet trade, which makes conservation efforts essential for their future.

Lynx Nature Books celebrates this diversity through detailed illustrations and scientific information that support research and awareness.
