Greenpeace medal-winning Stanley Johnson crosses the globe meeting local conservation heroes and the endangered species they are fighting to protect. With him we discover the horrors of horse fighting in the Philippines, we sit at the feet of Amazonian tribal elders and track pandas in rural China. Stanley recounts his adventures with trademark-Johnson wit as he bears witness to the poignant struggle of our ever-vanishing wildlife. Behind the infectious humour, there lies the deep passion of a man who has spent his life in search of wild places and wild animals and is committed to their defence. Reading this book, it is impossible not to catch the thrill."
