Large 8vo (160 x 240mm). Ppxxvi,405. Colour frontispiece, b/w photographs, illustrations, map. Red boards, spine titled in gilt. Some use. Good-plus in slightly frayed dust-wrapper. "Few people have influenced the conservation of Africa's great herds of wild game as much as Bruce Kinloch. During his unique career, which included the posts of Chief Game Warden of Uganda, Tanzania and Malawi, and his creation of the College of African Wildlife Management on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro, his advice was sought and valued as the innovative authority on wildlife management. In [this book], Bruce Kinloch tells a fascinating story of the constant struggle to preserve Africa's wildlife, especially its dwindling herds of elephants. Ivory poachers, devious middlemen, uncaring and bigoted officials all add to a game warden's worries, apart from the need to safeguard the crops and livelihood of the indigenous population. Bruce's encounters with rogue elephants, buffalo and poachers make thrilling reading and highlight the unsung work of the game wardens and their assistants who daily put their lives at risk. But it was not all work and Bruce's description of fishing for the giant Nile perch below the Murchison Falls will make any angler's mouth water. [This book] was first published in 1972 and since that time Africa's wildlife reserves have waxed and waned in response to the seismic changes which have swept Africa. This story is as relevant and fresh today as when it was first published." ., Books<
