Watching Wildlife Southern Africa (Lonely Planet Wildlife Travel)
“There is a poignancy that speaks to me of our responsibility to cherish and help protect the staggering diversity of life that our planet still sustains. But time is running out. I have seen huge changes since I first set foot in Africa. Tens of thousands of rhinos and hundreds of thousands of elephants have been slaughtered, and the bushmeat trade has reached staggering proportions. Only by helping to reduce poverty and by including local communities in efforts to conserve wilderness can we hope to provide a meaningful future for people and wildlife. I hope that by learning more about Southern Africa and its spectacular wildlife you will return home with a renewed commitment to protect our planet.” - Jonathan Scott, Preface
