Description

The Last Rhinos is an extraordinary story of life and conservation on a South African game reserve. Lawrence Anthony's reserve is home to many animals he has saved, including a remarkable herd of elephants and a badly behaved bushbaby called George.

When one of his rhinos was brutally slaughtered for her horn, Anthony took action against the poachers. However, he soon learned that there were only a handful of northern white rhinos left in the wild, living in an area controlled by the Lord's Resistance Army and facing imminent extinction. Anthony knew he had to act.

The result was an exciting adventure, as he negotiated with rebels while battling drought and fighting to save his beloved elephant matriarch Nana. This book is a sometimes funny, sometimes moving read, peopled with unforgettable characters - both human and animal - who will leave a lasting impression.
