At the crossroads of wildlife conservation and scientific urgency, S.O.S. Rhino sounds an alarm for one of the world's most ancient and imperilled creatures. C. A. W. Guggisberg, a respected naturalist and authority on African wildlife, chronicles the dramatic struggle for survival facing the rhinoceros across its shrinking habitats in Africa and Asia, detailing the ecological pressures, rampant poaching, and human encroachment that have pushed multiple species to the very brink of extinction. Part of the acclaimed Survival Books series edited by Colin Willock, this work argues with compelling authority that the fate of the rhino is a bellwether for the broader health of our natural world. Guggisberg's prose is precise yet accessible, grounding hard scientific and ecological data within vivid portraits of the animal in its natural environment. A pioneering voice in the conservation movement, he presents a challenge to the reader that remains as urgent today as when first written — will humanity act in time, or will the rhino's desperate call go forever unanswered?
