About this product
Product Information
Amazing photographs of elephants accompany narratives from researchers, scientists, and conservationists celebrating elephants and calling for their preservation African savanna elephants--among the most magnificent and beloved of our fellow mammals--are an extraordinary, social, and intelligent species. The Last Elephants , an homage to these animals and a clarion call for their preservation, is based upon a shocking finding: savanna elephant populations across Africa are being decimated, with two to three murdered every hour for their ivory. Without action, these elephants soon will vanish from our world. They are a species in imminent danger of extinction, and it is up to us to save them. Featuring more than 250 full-color photos of the breathtaking animals by some of the world's top wildlife photographers, The Last Elephants was inspired by the devastating results of the continent-wide Great Elephant Census of 2016, undertaken by Elephants without Borders in tandem with the world's most prominent conservation groups. The book joins together the voices and vision of scientists, lawmakers, rangers, conservationists, and on-the-ground researchers to speak out against elephant killings, to close loopholes in international law that allow the ivory trade to continue, and to pay tribute to the thousands who work to protect the animals, including African communities who have elected to preserve and protect their elephant neighbors. Offering both profiles of preservation plans that work and hope for elephants' future, this is a must-read for everyone concerned for the future of one of Earth's most captivating species.

Reviews
When a 2016 census of Africa's elephants revealed that the numbers had plummeted to fewer than 450,000 for the entire continent, bush-guide Bell and journalist Pinnock conceived of a book that would bring the elephants' plight to a general audience through narratives and photographs. Requesting commentary from people on the ground who deal with elephant issues daily, the authors have produced a stunning look at the perilous state of our largest land mammal. Opening chapters focus on continent-wide issues, the romance of the big tuskers, and the illegal wildlife trade. Sections then cover specific countries, from Botswana to Zimbabwe, and run the gamut from failure (bad government policies, rampant poaching) to success (private reserves and national parks, flourishing local programs). The passion of the various contributors rings through even the plainest prose, which, supported by an extensive bibliography and illustrated with magnificent photographs, awakens a similar sense of caring and urgency in the reader. As Prince William says in the foreword, at the current pace of poaching, the wild African elephant could be gone by 2040. Bell, Pinnock, and their fellow authors hope to prevent that, and this powerful book certainly makes the case. -- Booklist , starred review
