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 afterwords by John Hanks and Yolan Friedmann.

This book aims to galvanise the efforts to save the rhino;The private rhino owner, often working in cooperation with the state, will emerge as a key factor in the struggle to win the war;With breath-taking images, this book illustrates the beauty of southern Africa, the people, tourism - and of course the rhino

Reviews
"The rhino does not belong to us. It belongs to no one. All that we own is the responsibility of ensuring that it persists and that future books on the rhino are written about its expanded range and not its declining future." - Yolan Friedmann (Endangered Wildlife Trust)
