The Africa-wide Great Elephant Census of 2016 produced shocking
findings: a decimated elephant population whose numbers were
continuing to plummet. Elephants are killed, on average, every
15-20 minutes - a situation that will see the final demise of these
intelligent, extraordinary animals in less than three decades. They
are a species in crisis. This magnificent book offers chapters
written by the most prominent people in the realm of conservation
and wildlife, among them researchers, conservationists, filmmakers,
criminologists, TV personalities and journalists. Photographs have
been selected from among the world's best wildlife photographers,
and the passionate Foreword is provided by Prince William. This
book has been created to make the world aware of the devastating
loss of elephant lives in Africa and stem the tide of poaching and
hunting. It is hoped that all loopholes in the ivory trade will be
closed and that all countries receiving and using ivory (both legal
and poached) will ban its trade - and actively pursue those
involved in driving the cruel poaching tsunami. This book is also a
tribute to those who work for the welfare of elephants,
particularly those who risk their lives for wildlife each day,
often for little or no pay - including the field rangers and the
anti-poaching teams; and to the many communities around Africa that
have elected to work with elephants and not against them. The Last
Elephants - is the title prophetic? We hope not.
