I enjoyed reading the emotional journey of the author with wildlife and her fight to rescue them. I was aware that rhinos are being targeted for their horns. But the cruelty of mankind is beyond imagination. The description of each and every animal in the herds, and portrayal of unique individual personality is mesmerising. Animals show compassion not only to their kind but also to humans. There is a lot to learn from animals. #nonfiction2022
