Never Forget
This beautiful little story offers up a perfectly balanced account of a scientist’s struggle to save African elephants from ivory poachers. Whilst doing so, it delivers a caveat as the need for conservation of these magnificent beasts is weighed against the concerns of local villagers whose farms are regularly destroyed by them. Foreign investment moguls as well as so-called “sport” hunters all cop a serve as Edwina Harvey offers up a very neat solution to the problem. There’s tension and just the right amount of science as the scientist races to have his work validated, with a very adorable elephant thrown in. A very enjoyable tale!
