Prompted by the country's radical deforestation and slash-and-burn agriculture, Durrell, his wife, and their team of zoologists embark on a mission to capture and conserve the species - distinguished by its "giant, chisel-like teeth", "round, hypnotic eyes", and large "spoon-like ears".

Story
In 1954, in a remote South American village, a four-year-old girl was abducted and then abandoned deep in the Colombian rainforest. So begins the incredible true story of Marina Chapman, who went on to spend several years alone in the jungle, her only family a troop of capuchin monkeys. Using instinct to guide her, she copied everything they did and soon learned to fend for herself. At around 10 years old, a completely feral Marina was returned to civilisation by hunters, who sold her as a slave to a brothel. Beaten daily and groomed to be a prostitute, she escaped - to live the perilous existence of a Colombian city street kid.

Boyd Varty had an unconventional upbringing. He grew up on Londolozi Game Reserve in South Africa, a place where man and nature strive for balance, where perils exist alongside wonders. Founded more than 80 years ago as a hunting ground, Londolozi was transformed into a nature reserve beginning in 1973 by Varty’s father and uncle, visionaries of the restoration movement. But it wasn’t just a sanctuary for the animals; it was also a place for ravaged land to flourish again and for the human spirit to be restored.

Publisher's summary
GustoSinga is an adventure not to be missed!
Based on truth, but written with imagination, Dinieve (life-giver) is an orphaned girl who has intuitive communication skills with all living things. She finds an orphaned lion cub, who she names Gusto, and knows that advice from the matriarch elephant must not be taken lightly. Humor and truth are shared with a positive vibe, portraying bravery against all odds.
We are all on a journey, and Marguerite MacLean invites every listener to join her on this adventure, encouraging all to embrace the future of our world with a new awareness like never before.
The calls of nature bring Dinieve a huge leap of faith in a dangerous voyage with Gusto, who meets another orphaned feline, Singa - the offspring of the last tiger to be shot in Singapore in 1930. If the elephants can share over continents as they do, may MacLean's written words share an adaptability and sensitivity to cultural diversity and an important insight into endangered species, and collectively, our endangered planet, Earth.
I can highly recommend this book for ALL ages. The author's love and knowledge of animals shines through, and her experience living in Africa, UK, and Asia contributes extensive local knowledge, which excites and educates the listener and provides a memorable setting for the main characters. This is equally matched by her love for humanity and every living thing, which infiltrates throughout the book leaving one pondering many of life's conundrums.
This fast-paced story, shared factually and creatively will spellbind any listener. Marguerite's writing seems to have that magical power of giving life and personality to animals in the style of David Attenborough, bringing a unique, imaginative experience - a new slant on how man and nature interact, a definite inspiration for all! Communication with animals and people from all cultures through intuitive listening skills leads to true excitement and romance! Many excellent reviews by qualified educators.

Some people insist that culture is strictly a human feat. What are they afraid of? This book looks into three cultures of other-than-human beings in some of Earth's remaining wild places. It shows how if you're a sperm whale, a scarlet macaw, or a chimpanzee, you too experience your life with the understanding that you are an individual in a particular community. You too are who you are not by genes alone; your culture is a second form of inheritance. And your culture, too, changes and evolves.

What’s a boy to do in a world full of magic and so many, many hungry creatures searching for their next meal? Well, there’s an old man inside that body, and he'll use everything he’s learned to survive.

Story
In 1954, in a remote South American village, a four-year-old girl was abducted and then abandoned deep in the Colombian rainforest. So begins the incredible true story of Marina Chapman, who went on to spend several years alone in the jungle, her only family a troop of capuchin monkeys. Using instinct to guide her, she copied everything they did and soon learned to fend for herself. At around 10 years old, a completely feral Marina was returned to civilisation by hunters, who sold her as a slave to a brothel. Beaten daily and groomed to be a prostitute, she escaped - to live the perilous existence of a Colombian city street kid.

Story
Inspiring hope, solace, and courage in living through our losses, author Martín Prechtel, trained in the Tzutujil Maya shamanic tradition, shares profound insights on the relationship between grief and praise in our culture - how the inability that many of us have to grieve and weep properly for the dead is deeply linked with the inability to give praise for living. In modern society, grief is something that we usually experience in private, alone, and without the support of a community.
