To protect and preserve the world's last great collections of large animals, some African countries have set aside vast tracts of land as national parks. These parks are, in effect, enormous zoos, and the problems they present are as complex as the thousands of acres of wilderness they encompass. This is a lively and engrossing account of what such a national park is, how it comes into being, and how European wardens and scientists are working to train Africans to follow them in controlling and managing herds of wild animals living in artificial situation.
