Clive Walker has changed the face of conservation in South Africa
and devoted his life to the preservation of our wildlife and
natural heritage. Baobab trails is the story of his journey,
spanning more than forty years, told through his experiences with
some extraordinary and remarkable personalities - the likes of Ian
Player, David Shepherd, Kuki Gallman, Eric Rundgren, Blythe Loutit,
Iain Douglas Hamilton, Johannes Naari, Lloyd Wilmot, Conita Walker,
Peter Hitchin's and Anthony Hall-Martin to name but a few. Clive's
contact with baobab trees and their presence, combined with his
desire to retrace his steps, as well as record and capture these
remarkable trees, their size, human history and his own adventures
upon first encountering them, means that these remarkable trees are
woven into his autobiography, with the skilful assistance of Sally
Antrobus. Many baobab trees are associated with famous 19th-century
travellers, hunters, traders and explorers who left their names on
the tree trunks, camped under them or used the trees for a variety
of purposes, revealing a great wealth of interesting history. His
journey covers a large spectrum of the southern African landscape -
an amazing 45 000 km - and identifies and records forty trees
through photos and art. For Clive Walker, these forty trees
represent the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Endangered
Wildlife Trust. The baobab peace trails enables readers to follow
their own trail in locating these amazing specimens, which include
five of the largest known baobabs, located throughout southern
Africa; in Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Limpopo, Namibia and Botswana.
This represents the first ever detailed collection of historical
baobab trees. With grateful thanks to SAPPI for funding the books.
