ABOUT
From Ian Player's first visit to the Umfolozi Game Reserve in South Africa's Zululand in 1952, the salvation of the white rhino from extinction became a personal obsession.
The white rhino, the second largest animal in the world, had roamed over the southern half of the African continent in large numbers during the nineteenth century and before. By the 1960s fewer than five hundred remained, confined to 72000 acres, not nearly enough territory for them to remain healthy and alive.
The techniques for capturing and transporting the huge animals are fascinating. It is a tale of adventure, of Africa, of animals - and of the man who set out to save them.
Illustrated with monochrome images and maps.
