Why read it?

1 author picked Bringing Back the Lions as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

If you read my book and still don’t believe that big game hunting is an integral part of wildlife conservation in Africa (and everywhere else) then pick this book up next (and after you finish Lions read Cries of the Savanna by Sue Tidwell.)

The book’s subtitle tells you the story and unlike my book or the ones I mentioned by Emma Marris and Steven Rinella, this book stays in one place.

You get to see what it takes to go from empty, ravaged, soil-dead landscapes back to a thriving habitat and how to build an effective, sustainable conservation structure.
