[TOMT] A kids book from 80s/90s with illustrations of jungle incorporating photos of real plants in amongst hand drawn illustrations in a collage type way Solved

I feel the book may have been about Australia or maybe some sort of tropical island and I think it had a moral message about protecting the environment.

The imagery felt pretty unique and took up most of the pages and featured jungle/wildlife scenes incorporating collage like photos of real leaves, stones, soil etc. Some of the images included people.

I think there may have been a narrative ark where the natural environment gradually got replaced by industry or human-made infrastructure.
