A best-selling natural history and environment magazine has included an Aberdeen academic in a list of the UK’s top conservationists.
Professor Paul Racey – who is one of the world's leading experts on bats - is featured in the roll call which appears in the current issue of BBC Wildlife.
The glossy monthly has compiled a list of 50 professionals who are scientists, campaigners, in the media, or in some way involved in conservation on a day-to-day basis through their working lives.
The list is broken down into a top 20 which is then followed in alphabetical order by another "30 heroes".
Professor Racey, Regius Professor of Natural History at the University of Aberdeen, pops up in the 21 to 50 list.
The professor, who has spent more than two decades involved in bat research and conservation, is delighted at the recognition. He said: "I am greatly honoured to be included on such a list of people whose work in conservation I know and appreciate."
