Carolyn Shattuck: "This book is constructed as a plea to save the animals of Africa from poaching and destruction of habitat due to climate change and encroachment ". Introduction, Carolyn Shattuck: "Extinction and Migration are two powerful words that shape my concerns for the majestic animals that graze the African savannah. "To ensure the health of elephants, wildebeests, lions, rhinosaurus, and giraffes, it is important to maintain 'wildlife corridors'. Safe passage between reserves in northern Kenya is a critical lifeline for elephants to find food, water and mates. Road development, cropland expansion and poachers threaten these migration corridors.  "Rhino poaching is a pressing issue. Their horns are valued in traditional Chinese medicine and treasured as a status symbol to display success and wealth. ... Giraffes are at risk due to habitat loss, drought worsened by climate change, illegal killings and trade in giraffe and body parts. ... The declining elephant population is a global crisis. In the last 18 years, the population has decreased from a few million to 450,000 to 700,000. ... "These animals need to be protected under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. The U.S. is currently the biggest consumer of giraffe products and home to most of the trophy hunters."
