The Ndlovu poaching cases sent shockwaves across the country. The successful investigations, arrests, prosecution and judgment were celebrated like a Springbok rugby victory.

As someone involved in telling the story of wildlife tourism and environmental management in South Africa, I commend this book for its honesty and impact highlighting a very real challenge that continues to this day.
