I have not yet had the time to page through the book, let alone read the text. But what I have read is extremely interesting and comes from the thoughts of a top-rated scientist. For me as a retired conservation Forester who had some, very limited, contact with the Knysna elephants, the book is a memorable tribute to the work of Rudi van Aarde. The text is thought provoking and the photographs outstanding.
Such an awesome book to make your trip special
This book has easily understandable text, a concise summary of research into elephants characteristics and needs, and outstanding photographic and graphical illustrations.
Excellent reading, great amount of detail, insight's & recommendations, etc.
Well done!
Nowadays every person carrying a professional camera and expensive lenses tend to be a wildlife expert and have an opinion on the elephant populations and management criteria in our reserves - often providing simplistic solutions to very complex problems. Then, along comes a book like "Let Elephants Roam" and you realize the value of having quality photographs combined with scientific data that is beautifully presented in a quality book form, by a true expert. This book will be among the finest - and most cherished - in my collection.
