Book Overview

""The Vanishing Game of South Africa: A Warning and an Appeal"" is a book written by William Temple Hornaday and published in 1922. The book is a warning about the dire situation of wildlife in South Africa and an appeal to save them from extinction. Hornaday was an American zoologist, conservationist, and author who had extensive experience in wildlife conservation. In this book, he describes the beauty and diversity of the wildlife in South Africa, including lions, elephants, rhinoceroses, and many other species. However, he also highlights the threats that these animals face, such as habitat destruction, hunting, and poaching. Hornaday argues that the extinction of these animals would be a great loss not only for South Africa but for the world as a whole. He calls for urgent action to protect and conserve these animals, including the establishment of national parks and reserves. Hornaday's book is a passionate plea for the preservation of wildlife and a call to action for all those who care about the future of our planet.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
