Why read it?
1 author picked The Last Elephants as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is one of the most comprehensive books on African elephants I have ever read.

An absolute “must-read” for anyone with a deep interest in elephants and a desire to get involved in their conservation.
From James' list on elephants and birds.
