Description

Rhino War by Major General (Ret.) Johan Jooste and Tony Park tells the story of a bold strategy to combat rhino poaching in South Africa's Kruger National Park. In 2012, at the age of 60, retired general Johan Jooste was parachuted into the war-torn park with a mandate to transform its ranger corps into a para-military force capable of taking on the poachers. Facing opposition from within and outside his team, Jooste had to navigate a complex web of resentment, hostility, and scrutiny from various stakeholders. Despite these challenges, he successfully turned a demoralised force of men and women into one of the best anti-poaching units on the African continent. Through his story, Jooste shares the successes and failures of his approach, offering a candid and honest account of his vision for the future of wildlife conservation in South Africa.
