Rowland Ward has just launched its latest publication ‘Wild Heart of Africa’ edited by Rolf Baldus. This book is the story of the Selous, a game reserve in southern Tanzania. It is the largest protected wildlife area in the world. There are no people living within its boundaries and it contains some of the greatest wildlife concentrations on the continent, including 70 000 elephant, over 120 000 buffalo, more than half a million antelope and a couple of thousand large carnivores roaming freely in its forests, riverine thickets, steppes and mountain ranges.

The contributors to this book share over a century of work in the Reserve. They also share the belief that the Selous is not only the largest and oldest protected area in Africa but it is also one of the finest in the world. They hope that this book will make the public aware of how important it is to conserve this World Heritage Site. It is sure to be a best seller and will be available in March. Please contact our offices so we can place you on backorder and have it sent to you as soon as it is available. 

The publication is also available in a Collectors’ edition limited to 250 numbered and signed copies. They are quarter bound in leather with a slipcase. Place your order now as this edition is in high demand and will sell out very quickly.
