The last elephants  Cover Image Book Book

The last elephants / compiled by Don Pinnock & Colin Bell ; foreword by HRH Prince William, Duke of Cambridge.

Pinnock, Don, (compiler.). Bell, Colin, (compiler.).

Summary:

"African savanna elephants--among the most magnificent and beloved of our fellow mammals--are an extraordinary, social, and intelligent species. The Last Elephants, an homage to these animals and a clarion call for their preservation, is based upon a shocking finding: savanna elephant populations across Africa are being decimated, with two to three murdered every hour for their ivory. Without action, these elephants soon will vanish from our world. They are a species in imminent danger of extinction, and it is up to us to save them."-- Publisher.
