Rowland Ward has just launched its latest publication ‘Wild Heart of Africa’ edited by Rolf Baldus. This book is the story of the Selous, a game reserve in southern Tanzania. It is the largest protected wildlife area in the world. There are no people living within its boundaries and it contains some of the greatest wildlife concentrations on the continent, including 70 000 elephant, over 120 000 buffalo, more than half a million antelope and a couple of thousand large carnivores roaming freely in its forests, riverine thickets, steppes and mountain ranges.

The contributors to this book share over a century of work in the Reserve. They also share the belief that the Selous is not only the largest and oldest protected area in Africa but it is also one of the finest in the world. They hope that this book will make the public aware of how important it is to conserve this World Heritage Site. For more information on how to acquire a copy of the book, please click here
