In this riveting real-life adventure, Mark and Delia Owens tell the dramatic story of their last years in Africa, fighting to save elephants, villagers, and - in the end - themselves. The award-winning zoologists and pioneering conservationists describe their work in the remote and ruggedly beautiful Luangwa Valley, in northeastern Zambia. There they studied the mysteries of the elephant population’s recovery after poaching, discovering remarkable similarities between humans and elephants.

Wonderful to learn about successful programs to save both the wildlife from poaching and the peoples of Zambia from poverty. Saving nature is ultimately the only way to save our planet’s resources and the future of humans and animals alike. Beautifully presented story by real heroes: Mark and Delia Owens. And beautifully read by Audible.
