"This book records the efforts to identify and save endangered animals in Myanmar. No westerners had been admitted for 30 years and he was able to get in, and eventually set up an animal preserve - it was so exciting to be there when then discovered animals that they thought were extinct and find animals where they weren't expected to be. Very eye opening without too heavy-handed on the conservation theme."
""Beyond the Last Village" is the perfect read for the conservation-minded, revealing an inner look about the trials and tribulations of saving the world's most endangered animals from one of the world's most experienced field biologists. Mr. Rabinowitz's books are always a treat because they come from such a mature perspective on conservation issues, without the showmanship and sensationalism that often accompanies working with exotic animals. This book in particular, although less focused on the big cat work for which Mr. Rabinowitz is well known, emphasizes the importance of relationships in conservation work. The reader also joins Rabinowitz on a personal journey of spriritual growth."
