Overkill: The Race to Save Africas Wildlife by James Clarke (Paperback)
Ninety percent of the worlds megafauna (its larger creatures) have disappeared since humans migrated from Africa and fanned out across the rest of the world. Within a very short time the megafauna mammoths, mastodons, woolly rhinoceros and the huge carnivores that preyed upon them were extinct. Only Africa seems to have escaped: not unscathed, but not entirely vanquished either.
This book:
describes the history and extent of human impact on the worlds wildlife (marine included), good and bad;
it examines, in particular, the status of wildlife in Africa the worlds last great mega-faunal sanctuary;
and it questions whether Africas wildlife has reached its lowest ebb, and whether it is about to witness the turn of the tide?
