Beginning in 1984, Eric Dinerstein led a team directly responsible
for the recovery of the greater one-horned rhinoceros in the Royal
Chitwan National Park in Nepal, where the population had once
declined to as few as 100 rhinos. The Return of the Unicorns is an
account of what it takes to save endangered large mammals. In its
pages, Dinerstein outlines the multifaceted recovery
program-structured around targeted fieldwork and scientific
research, effective protective measures, habitat planning and
management, public-awareness campaigns, economic incentives to
promote local guardianship, and bold, uncompromising
leadership-that brought these extraordinary animals back from the
brink of extinction. In an age when scientists must also become
politicians, educators, fund-raisers, and activists to safeguard
the subjects that they study, Dinerstein's inspiring story offers a
successful model for large-mammal conservation that can be applied
throughout Asia and across the globe.
