"The uneasy balance of life in the African game reserves can be upset in the most unexpected ways. Protected herds of elephants are faced with extinction because their feeding habits have destroyed vast areas of bush. Guarded from the depredations of poachers, they have bred in such overwhelming numbers that they are faced with starvation. White rhinos, on the other hand, are seriously threatened by poachers who kill them only for their horns. The close interdependence of all species of animal, bird or insect; the importance of climate and terrain; and the part that man plays in the balance of nature - this is the theme of Dr Felix Rodriguez de la Fuente's second volume in the 'World of Wildlife' series.
