Summary:
"Ever since he was young, Levison Wood has been fascinated by elephants and their fight for survival. While trekking the Nile he finally saw these beasts up close, and in The Last Giants, he satisfies his lifelong desire to learn more about the majestic African elephant. These giants journey through some of Africa's most magnificent landscapes as they go in search of life-giving waters and pastures. El Nino's droughts and an insatiable ivory trade have cut African elephant numbers by a third in the last decade alone; if elephants disappear entirely, Africa's entire ecosystem could collapse. But Botswana has become a haven, where one-sixth of the world's elephants now reside. Each year their numbers grow and an incredible migration takes place, which Wood witnesses and records. In The Last Giants, he teams up with local trackers to gain insight into how this iconic species survives, camps out in the wild, meets the people and tribes living on the migration's path, and joins the park rangers whose job it is to protect these land goliaths"--
