"The rhino war in South Africa has entered its 10th year, and last year saw 662 rhino killed in Kruger alone and over 1,000 in total for South Africa. This book discusses corruption and the criminal justice system, the need for more community engagement, and the costs of protection. It also looks at how far we have come since the rhino wars in the 1980s and the rhino trade debate.
Rhino Revolution testifies to the excellent conservation work that is being undertaken by the state and the private sector in security, tourism, community involvement, and environmental education, as well as NGO support. The book includes magnificent photographs and afterwards by John Hanks and Yolan Friedmann."
"How is South Africa going to sustain the cost of securing rhino while the belief continues to persist that the enemy lies elsewhere in Southeast Asia. The Walkers believe that the problem actually lies in South Africa’s own backyard. This book discusses corruption and the criminal justice system, the need for more community engagement and the costs of protection. It also looks at how far we have come since the rhino wars in the 1980s and the rhino trade debate. We have to shift from the negative to an element of the positive. People are tired of seeing dead and dying rhino. There is some optimism due to the excellent work being undertaken by the state and the private sector at many levels in security, tourism, community involvement and environmental education, as well as NGO support. Rhino Revolution testifies to the many people doing just that. The rhino war in South Africa has entered its 10th year, and last year saw 662 rhino killed in Kruger alone – and over 1000 in total for South Africa. Clive and Anton Walker, authors of the bestselling Rhino Keepers (2012), have once again come up with a fresh, new look at the ongoing rhino crisis. With magnificent photographs and afterwords by John Hanks and Yolan Friedmann."
