Table of ContentsReviewsBostjan Videmsek and Maja Prijatelj Videmsek have written a majestic, stirring account of the last two Northern White Rhinos left in the world. The story of the ravages of humankind's toll on innocent creatures who have fallen prey to poachers, conflict, and climate change, The Last Two is also an inspiring tale of the best of which our species is capable. From the conservationists in Kenya who care for the mother and daughter rhinos, Najin and Fatu, to the scientists in Italy, Germany, and Japan who are racing against time and daunting odds to snatch the rhinos from extinction's terrible grasp. Written with urgency and empathy and illustrated with stirring photos by Matjaz Krivic, The Last Two is at once a chronicle of disaster and hope.--Kelly Horan, The Boston Globe Videmsek and Prijatelj are two of the world's leading investigative journalists, with decades of experience in the field and numerous awards between them. They have often covered wars and conflict zones in the past, and this book combines their interest in the environment with their significant chops as war reporters. The Last Two is a hugely important book for anyone interested in the environment and saving endangered species from extinction, too often at the hands of humans. This is where the conflict zone meets ecology. Thankfully, though there is much darkness, this is ultimately a beautiful story of hope in saving one of the Earth's most magnificent creatures.--Noah Charney, PhD, best-selling author of The 12-Hour Art Expert Bostjan Videmsek and Maja Prijatelj Videmsek have written a majestic, stirring account of the last two Northern White Rhinos left in the world.
