REBECCA: THERE ARE FOLKS WHO REALLY DO GIVE ALL TO SAVE THE ANIMALS OF THIS EARTH. READ THE STORY

United States on Sep 28, 2023

June McCann: The author had a heart attack when this
story had almost ended. As usual with his
true accounts of animals, his understanding
of these wild creatures enriches the lives
of his readers.

Bastian: Der "Elephant Whisperer" vom selben Autor war für mich eines der bewegendsten Bücher, das ich in den letzten Jahren gelesen habe.

Deswegen habe ich "the Last Rhinos" mit hohen Erwartungen bestellt. Es ist zwar ein komplett anderes Buch, das ich nicht mit dem "Elephant Whisperer" vergleichen möchte, aber die Geschichte ist mindestens genauso spannend. Meine Faszination für Lawrence Anthony ist noch deutlich gewachsen. Wenn er etwas erreichen will, setzt er die ganze Welt in Bewegung, egal ob er Kampfhubschrauber der UN benötigt oder einen Deal mit den meistgesuchten Terroristen der Welt schließen muss.

Eines der besten Bücher, die ich gelesen habe. Sechs Sterne! ;-)

Shimon Z. Klein: This book is an excellent read and one really develops much empathy for the plight of the White Rhino. The determination of Lawrence Anthony to conserve not only the White Rhinos but also the other wild animals in danger of extinction. One can view this book as a sequel to his previous book "The Elephant Whisperer" another excellent book which I read before I started and finished reading this book. Lawrence went to incredible lengths, even negotiating with rebels in the Congo in order to save the rhinoceros which is now an endangered species because of heavy poaching. The indiscriminate killing of rhinos for their horns which are made into powder and used as an aphrodisiac in the Far East. It is an immense tragedy that rhino horn is very expensive and profitable for the poachers and their partners. As the author says, rhino horn is keratin, the same chemical that human finger nails are composed. Eating finger nail clippings would have the same affect as rhino horn which is no affect at all as an aphrodisiac.

He tells us about the poachers cruel methods to kill rhinos. While reading of his experiences and his great love and passion for the animals he tried to save, one...

Jessica Knauss, Author: I hesitated to give this book a high rating because it wasn't what I was hoping for: an account of the way intrepid humans saved a bunch of rhinoceroses, filled with charming anecdotes about rhino behavior. I don't know what I was thinking when I expected that, because I know the situation for all the rhino species is unspeakably dire. Co-author Graham Spence says he thought of calling the book "Blood Horn" and that might have been a more direct approach to indicate that this book is, at least in part, an outraged call to action. The Last Rhinos as a title feels contemplative and wistful, as if there is nothing left to be done, and unfortunately, that is the attitude that too many people are already taking. There are only three rhinos in this entire book. Lawrence Anthony never even gets to meet a single member of the subspecies he's trying to save before they're utterly gone. Instead of the happy stories I somehow expected, this book is a fact-and-experience-based indictment of the fatal disregard humans have for the other species on this planet.

A single anecdote about the rhino who lives in Thula Thula, Anthony's reserve in South Africa, serves to belie the idea that...
