À propos de cet audio

When Lawrence Anthony learned that the northern white rhino, living in the war-ravaged Congo, was on the very brink of extinction, he knew he had to act. If the world lost the sub-species, it would be the largest land mammal since the woolly mammoth to go extinct. In The Last Rhinos, Anthony recounts his attempts to save these remarkable animals. The demand for rhino horns in the Far East has turned poaching into a dangerous black market that threatens the lives of not just these rare beasts, but also the rangers who protect them. The northern white rhino's last refuge was in an area 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 inspiring story of conservation in the face of brutal war and bureaucratic quagmires, The Last Rhinos will move animal lovers everywhere.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Narrator Simon Vance is captivating as he recounts conservationist Lawrence Anthony's adventures in seeking to protect endangered animals in Africa... Vance heightens the suspense in these tense moments and is expansive in conveying Anthony's descriptions of life on his Thula Thula Reserve in South Africa and the assorted animals who live there. Anthony's dedication to conservation is admirable, and Vance vividly depicts his efforts for listeners." (AudioFile Magazine)

"A riveting account by a compassionate, dedicated man." (Kirkus)

I’ve listened to over a hundred audiobooks. Thrillers, comedies, classics, light summer reads, documentaries, biographies and this is
#1 on my list. A great narrator introduces us to a great conservationist. My favorite part and a section I’m going to take the time to write out is the last 35 minutes and the addendum following. It will remind me why Lawrence’s commitment to conservation of this earths species is so important and encourage me to find a way to, in some way, contribute to his work. I highly recommend this Audiobook.

The Best of Audiobooks!!!

With no expectations.

Have an ongoing love of Africa, mostly due to the fact that our daughter is employed in the humanitarian sector there. Have visited 5 times, 4 times with daughter or visiting her. So we have a tiny bit of first hand experience.

I loved this book and have recommended to several people. It was fascinating and so much more than I expected. Lawrence is a born storyteller and I’m going to seek out his other books.

An amazing story of an amazing man’s work, calling us all to understand why animals must not be allowed to go extinct. Beautifully and engagingly written and narrated

A must listen-why we must care

“Outstanding” does not describe yet the full extent of this book. It is a must read for people that believe in Conservation. It is also a must read for the skeptics that keep thinking that we are separate from Nature and that don’t see a link between community, conservation and politics. The three books should be mandatory reading for all wannabe wildlife biologists, managers, conservationists and animal lovers. And for politicians, diplomatics and officials. And for all kids that need and must be educated to be a voice for the Earth. Thank

A testament to Conservation
