Description: 1964 - AFRICAN ANIMALS: The dream of everyone is to see Africa, its elephants, lions, giraffes, antelope and other large animals of the plains and forests. But the children of today may see the disappearance of some of the rarer animals, during their lifetime. Movies and lecture films have given us the wrong impression of a continent teeming with wildlife. Actually, the tourist in Africa sees few animals outside the parks and game reserves today. Agriculture, cattle grazing and poaching have melted away the vast herds. Enormous numbers have been slaughtered in attempts to prevent the spread of tsetse flies to  domestic cattle. It the trend is not reversed by the people of Africa and the world, a great natural resource will be lost.--Roger Tory Peterson, Author of A FIELD GUIDE TO THE BIRDS.--inside front cover
