On one hand, it is a story of trying to get protection for endangered wildlife. On another hand, it is the story of human population pressure on a previousy diverse ecosystem. On another hand it is a story of an exciting adventure into lands so remote foriegners had never entered. All three themes are carried out well by the author. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
In 1993, Alan Rabinowitz, called the Indiana Jones of wildlife science by The New York Times, arrived for the first time in the country of Myanmar, known until 1989 as Burma, uncertain of what to expect. Working under the auspices of the Wildlife Conservation Society, his goal was to establish a wildlife research and conservation programme and to survey the country's wildlife. He succeeded - not only discovering a species of primitive deer completely new to science but also playing a vital role in the creation of Hkakabo Razi National Park, now one of Southeast Asia's largest protected areas.

I liked the book, I liked Rabinowitz's insights and his devotion to helping the people and wildlife of Myanmar/Burma. There are two sets of pictures that give the reader a clue into what Rabinowitz saw, even if we don't really understand the scale of what he's done. ( )
