Publisher Description

An inspiring story of conservation in the face of brutal war and bureaucratic quagmires, The Last Rhinos will move animal lovers everywhere.

Conservationist Lawrence Anthony's South African wildlife reserve protects elephants and many other animals, including several endangered Southern White Rhinos. When he learned that the Northern White Rhino was on the very brink of extinction–courtesy of a flourishing black market for rhino horns in the Far East–he knew he had to act. If the world lost the subspecies, it would be the largest land mammal to go extinct since the wooly mammoth.

The Northern White Rhino's last refuge was in an area in the Democratic Republic of Congo controlled by the infamous Lord's Resistance Army, one of the most vicious rebel groups in the world. In the face of unmoving government bureaucracy, Anthony made a perilous journey deep into the jungle to try to find and convince them to help save the rhino.

An adrenaline-fueled tale of heroism and determination, The Last Rhinos is an absolute must-read for wildlife enthusiasts and thrill-seekers alike. Transcending boundaries of human ruthlessness and exploring a path less traveled, this story is an illuminating testament to the power of one man's relentless resolution to fight against all odds.
