THE LAST RHINOS - LAWRENCE ANTHONY GRAHAM SPENC...

Lawrence Anthony's South African game reserve is home to many animals he has saved  from a
remarkable herd of elephants to a badly behaved bushbaby called George. Described as 'the
Indiana Jones of conservation'  when one of his rhinos was brutally slaughtered for her horn 
he didn't hesitate to lead an armed response against the poachers. Then he learned that there
were only a handful of northern white rhinos left in the wild  living in an area of the Congo
controlled by the infamous Lord's Resistance Army and soon to be hunted into extinction.
Lawrence knew he had to take action. What followed was an extraordinary adventure  as he headed
into the jungle to negotiate with the rebels  while battling to save his own animals from
terrible drought and to save the eyesight of his beloved elephant matriarch Nana. The Last
Rhinos is peopled with unforgettable characters  both human and animal  and is a sometimes
funny  sometimes moving  always exciting read. 'Anthony was a charismatic figure whose life
combined Gerald Durrell-esque animal antics with Wilbur Smith bush heroics . . . a rattling
read with an urgent message' BBC Wildlife Magazine
