Wild Elephants: Conservation in the Age of Extinction

Book overview Description Editorial Reviews In Wild Elephants, Art Wolfe seeks to capture on camera just what makes elephants so special and so worth saving.

Legendary for their size and intelligence, elephants are one of the most charismatic of megafauna.

That they are under siege from poachers is no secret, and the rapidity of their declining numbers is horrifying.

However, amidst the steady stream of bad news, all is not lost.

Ivory prices are declining, global education seems to be succeeding, and recent government crackdowns are beginning to stem the flow of illegal ivory.

While Wild Elephants features photographs of both African and Asian species, the emphasis is on the African savanna or bush elephant.
