Brief but informative texts on the history of the Selous and the problems/opportunities it faces Beautiful gatefolds and high quality printing make this book the perfect gift for all nature lovers Sponsored in part by the Frankfurt Zoological Society The African elephant, an iconic living symbol of Africa s extraordinary natural wealth, is being liquidated across the continent by a criminal and corrupt few who seek profit from an illegal ivory trade, which impoverishes us all. This bloody violence and consequent eerie emptiness knows no bounds, respecting neither the sanctity of Africa s most treasured National Parks nor the global importance of the magnificent World Heritage Site that is the Selous.

Proclaimed in 1896, and bigger than Switzerland, the Selous is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Selous remains one of Africa's largest and greatest undisturbed ecosystems, teeming with life including one of the two largest elephant populations remaining on the African continent, probably half of all of the wild dogs in Africa, vast herds of buffalo as well as more lions than any other protected area on the continent as reported by National Geographic in August 2013. The game reserve is becoming more important by the day as the pressure on elephants and other species grows - problems that are addressed here in this book.
