Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I remember the elephant in the Luangwa Valley of Zambia. In the last fifteen years, one hundred thousand elephants have been slaughtered by poachers in this valley. Elephants usually run at the first sight or scent of man, but in this valley, they stand their ground and are slaughtered. #2 We had returned to the Kalahari in 1985, hoping to find the same lions we had studied for years, and to continue the research for another five years. But we had another objective: to preserve the area for the benefit of the local people through wildlife tourism. #3 The eye of the elephant is the eye of the storm. It is a ray of hope that shines through the chaos of a storm.
