Beschreibung

'A truly heart-wrenching story, but a must-read for all who value our wild animals and their right to roam free'Phil LiggettGrant Fowlds is a conservationist who has dedicated his life to saving Africa's critically endangered rhinos. His remarkable story is vividly told with the help of Graham Spence, co-author with Lawrence Anthony of the phenomenal bestseller The Elephant Whisperer.What would drive a man to 'smuggle' rhino horn back into Africa at great risk to himself? This is just one of the situations Grant Fowlds has put himself in as part of his ongoing fight against poaching, in order to prove a link between southern Africa and the illicit, lucrative trade in rhino horn in Vietnam.Rhinoceroses are being killed at an escalating rate that puts the survival of the species in jeopardy. This corrupt, illegal war on wildlife has brought an iconic animal to the brink of extinction.Growing up on a farm in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, Grant developed a deep love of nature, turning his back on hunting to focus on saving wildlife of all kinds and the environment that sustains both them and us. He puts himself on the front line of protecting rhinos in the wild - right now, against armed poachers; but in the longer term, too, through his tireless work with schoolchildren, communities and policymakers.'Read this book. You will get a sense of Africa like never before, from a true African soul'David S. Lee, Limbani in the blockbuster movie Black Panther 'An excellent read . . . both sobering, and uplifting' Moira Smith, General Manager Africa & Middle East, Goway Travel 'Exceptionally readable - a fluid and captivating story . . . a swashbuckling tale'Dr Dave Cooper, Rhinos Without Borders veterinarian, and Debbie Cooper of iSimangaliso Wetland Park 'A rollicking true-life adventure that celebrates rhinos and people'Guy Rogers, Daily Herald
