Description
Daphne Sheldrick's memoir is an incredible story from Africa's greatest living conservationist. Her life has been marked by two extraordinary stories: her romance with Tsavo Game Park and its warden, David Sheldrick, and the love story of saving elephant orphans. A typical day for Daphne involved rescuing baby elephants from poachers and finding homes for orphaned animals, all while campaigning against the ever-present threat of poaching. Her work took her on a journey to rehabilitate back into the wild many different species, including elephants, rhinos, buffaloes, zebra, eland, kudu, impala, warthogs, and others. Daphne's dedication to conservation has had a lasting impact, including being made Dame Commander of the British Empire by the Queen in 2006.
