These giants trek through some of Africa's most magnificent landscapes as they go in search of life-giving waters and pastures. El Nino's droughts and an insatiable ivory trade have cut African elephant numbers by a third in the last decade alone, and if elephants disappear entirely, Africa's entire ecosystem could collapse. But Botswana has become a safe haven, where one-sixth of the world's elephants now reside. Each year their numbers grow and an incredible migration takes place, which Wood witnesses and records. He teams up with local trackers to gain insight into how this iconic species survives, camps out in the wild, meets the people and tribes living on the migration's path, and joins the park rangers whose job it is to protect these land goliaths, equipped with his "good eye for detail and better ear for dialogue" (<em>Wall Street Journal</em>).</p> <p><br></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><strong>Praise for <em>The Last Giants</em>: </strong></p> <p>"Comprehensively yet accessibly conveying Wood's lifelong fascination with African elephants, his discussion will appeal to anyone keen on learning more about them."--<em><strong>Publishers Weekly</strong></em></p> <p>"Levison Wood's book is both an entertaining summary of what we know about the elephant, and a call to change our behaviour to ensure its survival."--<strong><em>Daily Mail</em></strong></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><strong>Levison Wood</strong> is a writer, photographer, and explorer.
