(Hardcover - 1st ed)
This is the story of two brothers, Peter and Wilhelm Moeller, and their struggle to protect the herds of elephants and other wildlife in the Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda. Text and photos chronicle their efforts to reorganize and train the park rangers, capture animal poachers, care for orphaned elephants, and bring tourists back to the area. Full-color photos.
Elephants may be the largest land mammals, but their size is not enough to protect them from humans. One More Elephant is the moving story of the effort to save the elephants at the Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda. Once a thriving wildlife sanctuary and the most popular tourist destination in Africa, the park was nearly destroyed in a decade-long civil war. When the fighting ended in 1986, only 180 elephants (of the original 3000) had survived. Enter Peter and Wilhelm Moeller, brothers from Germany who came to film Uganda's wildlife. After seeing the park, they dedicated themselves to saving the dwindling elephant population. Their efforts are paying off-over 400 elephants now call the Park home.
