Publisher's Synopsis
Africa is the last stronghold of many of the world's most spectacular animal species. Man is systematically destroying much of this natural heritage - if we don't stop soon it will be too late. This is a hardhitting book which concentrates on chimps (used in enormous numbers for AIDS research and treated abominably); rhinos (poached for their horn and nearly extinct); and elephants (being destroyed by ivory poachers). Strong attacks on corrupt trading and complacent conservationists, with a note of hope and encouragement on how we must act.
