Download or read book Saving the Last Rhinos written by Grant Fowlds and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The remarkable story of Grant Fowlds, who has dedicated his life to saving the imperiled rhinos, vividly told with Graham Spence, co-author of the bestselling The Elephant Whisperer. What would drive a man to ‘smuggle’ rhino horn back into Africa at great risk to himself? This is just one of the situations Fowlds has put himself in as part of his ongoing fight against poaching, in order to prove a link between southern Africa and the illicit, lucrative trade in rhino horn in Vietnam. Shavings of rhino horn are sold as a snake-oil “cures,” but a rhino’s horn has no magical, medicinal properties whatsoever. Yet it is for this that rhinoceroses are being killed at an escalating rate that puts the survival of the species in jeopardy. This corrupt, illegal war on wildlife has brought an iconic animal to the brink of extinction. Growing up on a farm in the eastern Cape of South Africa, Grant developed a deep love of nature, turning his back on hunting to focus on saving wildlife of all kinds and the environment that sustains both them and us. He is a passionate conservationist who puts himself on the front line of protecting rhinos in the wild—right now, against armed poachers—and in the long term, through his work with schoolchildren, communities, and policymakers.
Download or read book Breathe written by J. Sharon and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-06-17 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. (1 Peter 5:8) In order to be sober and vigilant, scripture tells us we need to know our enemy. The more we know about the wiles of the devil and his minions, the easier it is to defeat them. The Bible teaches us how to live godly lives. It's the devil's job to interfere and to crush the things of God in our lives. Jesus was the firstborn of many brethren. What made Him different? Jesus was an empty vessel that the anointing of God could flow through. Jesus never performed a single miracle. He said himself in John 5:30, "I can of Mine own self do nothing; because I seek not Mine own will, but the will of the Father which sent Me." It was the anointing of God that poured through Jesus that spoke the words of His Father, healed the sick, and raised the dead. After Jesus died, the born-again new creatures in Christ became the brethren. We, now, are the vessels that the anointing flows through. Because of this anointing, the devil hates the born-again Christian. His attacks are unrelenting, but as Jesus said in John 17:14-15, "I have given them Thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I pray not that Thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that Thou shouldest keep them from the evil." I pray that this book can give the reader the knowledge needed to rise above the trappings of the world. God has so much more planned for his people in the Spirit! Step out!
Download or read book The Last Rhinos written by Lawrence Anthony and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2013-08-20 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inspiring true story of "the Indiana Jones of conservation." --The Guardian (UK) When Lawrence Anthony, author of The Elephant Whisperer, cared for not only elephants but other types of wildlife, including rhinos, on his nature reserve. So when he learned that there were only a handful of northern white rhinos left in the wild, living in an area of the Congo controlled by the infamous Lord's Resistance Army, he was determined to save them from extinction. If the world lost this subspecies of rhinoceros, it would be the largest land mammal since the woolly mammoth to go extinct, a tragedy for those who care about the world's endangered species. What followed was an extraordinary adventure, as Anthony headed into the jungle to ask the rebels to help protect the rhino. Sometimes funny, sometimes moving, and always exciting, The Last Rhinos tells the story of his fight to save these remarkable creatures.
Download or read book People Are Animals Too written by Shona Kowtecky and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2024-06-17 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover a fresh perspective by stepping into another’s... paws? “Chase what you want. Advocate for your needs. Set boundaries and goals. Learn to let go. Take care of yourself.” This can be good advice, but what if you don’t know what you want? Or need? What boundaries are worth setting for you? Or how to decide what to let go of, and what to hold on to? What if focusing on yourself seems uncomfortable, selfish, unnecessary, or a bit too “fluffy”? As a veterinarian, Dr. Shona Kowtecky has spent almost 20 years learning about, paying attention to, advocating for, and taking care of thousands of animals... while simultaneously watching thousands of people struggle to do the same for themselves. Whether or not you are a pet-parent or animal-lover, self-awareness is a key starting point for optimal health and a good quality of life, yet it’s often overlooked, oversimplified, or too ambiguous to be practical. People Are Animals Too provides a structured and creative approach to encourage self-examination, compassion, and curiosity through insightful questions and humorous anecdotes centered around the question: What if we cared for ourselves the way we care for the animals we love? Or better yet, what if we simply remembered that people are animals too?
Download or read book Rick the Rhino written by Dr. Ross Gordon Cooper and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-07-18 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rhino occupy a unique part of the food chain and wide niches in specific ecosystems in which they have developed their own behaviour patterns and interactions with other species. They form an essential part of the animal kingdom and their loss would have significant ramifications for other dependant flora and fauna. The large numbers of rhino orphans and the loss of pregnant females are decimating wild rhino populations. This decline is mainly due to poaching for their horns that are made of keratin and which have no proven medical benefit to humans. Greedy markets in China, Vietnam and Yemen, and criminal syndicates offer extremely high prices for rhino horn making it more valuable than gold. Whilst tackling the poachers head on is essential, it is sadly not enough and vigorous education programmes need to be put in place to inform people of the ecological, economic, aesthetic and touristic value of rhino. This book is dedicated to the plight all rhino species face including museum specimens and fossils.
Download or read book Running with Rhinos written by Ed Warner and published by Greenleaf Book Group. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Running with rhinos” is not a euphemism—not when you’re ground support for the International Rhino Foundation’s Rhino Conservancy Project. Edward M. Warner, a self-proclaimed radical conservationist, presents his outrageous adventures from more than a decade of collaboration with the veterinarians and biologists who care for endangered rhinos in Africa. Few if any laymen like Warner have been invited to do what amounts to some of the most dangerous volunteer fieldwork around. Fewer than five thousand black rhinos remain in the wilds of sub-Saharan Africa. About five hundred live on private conservancies in Zimbabwe. For Warner, working on the frontlines of rhino conservation not only allowed him to help rhinos, it gave him the opportunity to pursue and refine his emerging philosophy of radical conservationism, to cultivate partnerships between local communities and private landowners in Africa, and to export the lessons about land and wildlife management back home to the United States. In Running with Rhinos: Stories from a Radical Conservationist, Warner takes readers along as he weasels his way into becoming volunteer ground support for the International Rhino Foundation’s Rhino Conservancy Project, or “Rhino Ops,” in Zimbabwe. It is gritty, sweaty, sometimes scary, and exhilarating work. Warner succeeds in telling a remarkable story of the extraordinary bonds between humans—and their dedication to protecting endangered animals—all while weaving eye-opening stories about the flora, fauna, geology, geography, and politics of sub-Saharan Africa.
