Description
In the wilds of Zambia, biologists Mark and Delia Owens found themselves caught between the majesty of elephants and the brutal reality of poaching. In the 1970s and 1980s, thousands of these intelligent, long-lived creatures were slaughtered annually for their ivory. When the Owens's research into lions brought them face-to-face with this devastation, they chose to champion the elephants' cause.
"The Eye of the Elephant" recounts their daring struggle against poachers and their efforts to provide local communities with sustainable livelihoods, transforming a fight for survival into a global call for protection. This account is a vivid examination of both human and animal nature, filled with arduous labor on the African plains and exploits among dangerous hunters. Can the elephants' future be secured against those who seek to destroy them?
