‘Who and what would we be without elephants in the world? What would their extinction say about the human species? What would be the cost of the loss of this animal to the landscapes, to the ecology of other species such as insects, birds, mammals, plants and trees and more … and to the human psyche?’ – Dr Ian McCallum

Join Penguin Random House at the launch of the extraordinary book The Last Elephants at Kalk Bay Books.

Don Pinnock and Colin Bell will be in conversation with Ian McCallum.

Across Africa, elephants are being poached, on average, one every 15 minutes. Their fate is in our hands. Can we save them?

In this beautifully illustrated book, specialists from across the continent grapple with that question. The collective conclusion is yes – if we really want to. But do we?
