From award-winning explorer and bestselling author Levison Wood,
The Last Giants is a comprehensive exploration of the fascinating
past, difficult present, and imperiled future of the African
elephant. The Last Giants satisfies British explorer Levison Wood's
lifelong desire to learn more about the majestic African elephant.
These giants trek through some of Africa's most magnificent
landscapes as they go in search of life-giving waters and pastures.
El Nino's droughts and an insatiable ivory trade have cut African
elephant numbers by a third in the last decade alone, and if
elephants disappear entirely, Africa's entire ecosystem could
collapse. But Botswana has become a safe haven, where one-sixth of
the world's elephants now reside. Each year their numbers grow and
an incredible migration takes place, which Wood witnesses and
records. He teams up with local trackers to gain insight into how
this iconic species survives, camps out in the wild, meets the
people and tribes living on the migration's path, and joins the
park rangers whose job it is to protect these land goliaths,
equipped with his "good eye for detail and better ear for dialogue"
(Wall Street Journal).
