Informative, heartfelt, tragic. I think these stories are so important. This was the first I’d ever heard of the Northern white rhinos and it’s a very detailed account.

Where do I even start? This is one of those "must reads". The detailing about Africa is interesting in itself. The story of the unique wildlife on that continent is heartbreaking. People might think you need to be an animal lover to feel that way, but what people don't understand is that the destruction of one species is a stepping stone to others. I thank NetGalley for this remarkable read and Rowman & Littlefield for publishing it.

Boštjan Videmšek and Maja Prijatelj Videmšek tells a great nonfiction book about the last northern white rhinos. I was hooked on all the information that was given. I really felt for these rhinos and thought it was great to bring attention to this.

Really quite sad about the last two white rhinos and the efforts to breed them. I can't say I "enjoyed" it, but it was a great read.

Northern White Rhinos are the most beautiful creatures and losing them like we are makes me feel helpless. I knew we were getting close to the end but I didn't realize we were down to two.
This book gave me hope, which I was not expecting.
It also broke my heart.
The people in this book are geniuses who are working with the local (human) population to make their conservation efforts work. I was pleased to see that setting up 80 kilometers of land to save rhinos cost less than a new library in my community.
You need to read this if you care at all about climate change. I thought the covid shutdowns would have shown us that we don't need to be going going going all the time and that we would relax and maybe stop polluting the earth, but I was dead wrong.
We need to be better.

Thank you for the ARC.
