The Last Rhino by Lawrence Anthony

Lawrence Anthony's South African game reserve is home to many animals he has saved, including elephants and a bushbaby.  Anthony has been described as "The Indiana Jones of Conservation":  he led an armed response against poachers who slaughtered one of his rhinos for her horn.  Learning there were just a few northern white rhinos left in the wild in an area where they would soon be hunted to extinction, Lawrence took action. He went into the jungle to negotiate with the rebels.  At the same time, he was trying to save his own animals from a dreadful drought and save the sight of his own elephant matriarch, Nana.  £8.19 in paperback. Available from Amazon
