Marakele The Making of a South African National Park

Marakele National Park has one of the most overwhelming landscapes in South Africa, but until a few years ago it was heavily neglected. An exciting model of privae -- public partnership has been developed together with the South African government to breathe new life into Marakele. What started with an inspiring conversation with President Nelson Mandela has become a systematic and strategic approach that addresses pressing needs of people and animals in or around national parks in Africa. In a very original way, this book shows the many different animals that have come to inhabit Marakele National Park again in the last few years. The surprisingly detailed, sometimes funny, but always amazing photographs, are complemented by a list of all the 1,700 species living in Marakele. The film 'Marakele, the making of a National Park' by Caroline Tisdall is enclosed on DVD.
