Transcript:

Although he made his name with his archeological finds of early humans, Richard Leakey became famous as the conservationist who turned the tide against elephant poaching. Bringing the slaughter of Kenya's elephants under control required a military solution, and Leakey was not afraid to apply it. Many poachers were killed, giving Leakey a reputation for being a coldblooded obsessive who put animals before people. Moreover, his efforts to eradicate corruption in Kenya's wildlife management system won him many enemies. But the birth of the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), the eradication of elephant poaching and the ban on the international trade in ivory are his legacy, and they form the basis of Wildlife Wars. This surprisingly personal memoir has much to tell about the fragile relationships between conservationists and governments. It is a story not only of Kenya, but of the continuing cost of trying to save the world's wildlife from extinction.
