It is an engaging and personal narrative fi lled with stories of local wildlife, unexpected encounters, community connections and collaborations with national park staff and rhino protection teams. Through humour, honesty and scientifi c insight, Dr Wilson brings to life the urgency of saving this endangered species while inviting readers into the heart of conservation. Both informative and entertaining, this is a unique window into a world few ever get to see.
