About the book
This book hopes to create awareness around endangered animals, to help educate and empower the next generation to be the game changers. Who knows? Some readers may even aspire to become game rangers!
It is time to stand up and say, ‘enough is enough’, even though the task may seem very tough. (The list is only getting longer and longer, these endangered animals getting fewer and fewer.)
It is not too late to join in the quest. Let’s stand up and put these poachers to the test. There is power in team work as more can be done. Let’s stand together to save every last one!
| Care for Wild is the largest orphan rhino sanctuary in the world. I've has partnered with Care for Wild Rhino Sanctuary to endorse the incredible work that they do and a portion of the proceeds of the sale of The Rumbling Rhino will be donated to Care for Wild Rhino Sanctuary. |
