DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Are conservation and protecting animals the same thing? This book by an award-winning environmental reporter reveals they are not. Animal rights activism is surging in popularity, but the results are mixed, particularly when it comes to saving wild animals and the habitat that sustains them. Indeed, the championing of animal rights can paradoxically lead to the elimination of key charismatic wild species -- including elephants and lions. In an anecdotal and highly engaging style, Glen Martin takes the reader to the heart of the conflict -- Africa, where the world's last great populations of wildlife are the hostages in a fight between those who love animals and those who would save them"--

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Big Conservation Lie' is a wake up call focused on a field that has been 'front and centre' of many people's hearts and minds in recent years; The conservation of Africa's wildlife. It is a pursuit whose power to inspire is only rivalled by it's ability to blind it's audience to reality. This book takes the reader through Kenya's conservation 'industry' and the players therein with all their prejudices, weaknesses and commitment to causes, many of which are indistinguishable from their personalities. It is a call to indigenous Africans to claim their place at the table where the management of their natural resources is being discussed and invites well-meaning donors to look beyond the romantic images and detect the possible role of their money in the disenfranchisement of a people.
