Chasing the Dragon's Tail: The Struggle to Save Thailand's Wild Cats
Angebote / Angebote:
In 1987, zoologist Alan Rabinowitz was invited by the Thai government to study leopards, tigers, and other wildlife in the Huai Kha Khaeng valley, one of Southeast Asia's largest and most prized forests. Chasing the Dragon's Tail is the remarkable stow of Rabinowitz's life and adventures in the forest as well as the streets of Bangkok, as he works to protect Thailand's threatened wildlife. As he fights floods, fire ant infestations, elephant stampedes, and a request to marry the daughter of a tribal chief, the difficulties that come with the demanding job of species conservation are dramatically brought to life.
First published in 1991, this edition of Chasing the Dragon's Tail includes a new afterword by the author that brings the stow up to date, describing the surprising strides Thailand has made recently in conservation.
