Heart of a Game Ranger

It is a deeply personal memoir drawn from his years as a wildlife guardian and warden of the Olifants River Game Reserve, in the Big Five country west of the Kruger National Park. Cesare shares the extraordinary experiences that come with life in the African bush, from rescuing and protecting wildlife to confronting the devastating effects of rhino poaching. His stories range from a buffalo calf reunited with its mother and injured lions given a second chance, to the loss of rhinos and the emotional challenges faced by those working in conservation. The book offers an engaging look at the realities behind life as a game ranger, including the danger, responsibility, frustration and deep satisfaction that accompany the work. Alongside the wildlife encounters are stories of the people who dedicate themselves to protecting Africa's natural heritage. A compelling choice for readers interested in South African wildlife, conservation, game reserves and the realities of life in the bush. Good condition. Softcover, 24cm x 15cm, 323 pages.
