This is just one of the situations Grant 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShavings of rhino horn are sold as a snake-oil 'cure' for colds or impotence, but a rhino's horn has no magical, medicinal properties. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGrowing 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; but in the longer term, too, through his work with schoolchildren, communities and policymakers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe are most grateful to photographer Gerhard van der Westhuizen for the use of his stunning photograph on the cover of the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40943871164513,"sku":"9781472142511","price":11.14,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_35592989_f7ee8413-ed34-4cfb-ad9c-26931f350a1b.jpg?v=1754517039","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781472142511-saving-the-last-rhinos","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
