Few animals face as violent, as well organised, and as determined
an enemy as the world's rhinos. Across the continent, rhinos are
being slaughtered on a daily basis and approximately 5,000 black
rhinos and 21,000 white rhinos are all that prevent Africa's rhinos
from extinction. The Rhino Keepers is a personal story of the
conservation of the rhinos in southern Africa. It charts the
ongoing struggle for survival of these amazing animals told through
the experiences and insights of preeminent conservationists, Clive
and Anton Walker. Clive's and Anton's book describes these
fascinating animals and the reason behind their historical decline,
the myths that surround them and discusses the resurrection of the
rhino horn trade. They carefully unpack the complications of
opening up a 'legal' trade in horn and the views of those who
oppose such measures. This real life account of the rhino wars
presents a harrowing story that underscores the enormous challenges
that lie ahead for conservation in a world where rhino horns sold
by the gram raise double the price of gold and are more expensive
than cocaine in the end-user Asian markets. This book is for anyone
who has been appalled over the past few years at the senseless
slaughter of these magnificent animals. It urges readers to
question the way we manage our natural heritage and implores us to
recognise our role as rhino keepers of the future.
