Rhino: At the Brink of Extinction is the story of her attempt to save Kenya's black rhino from the poachers who threaten the species with extinction. Whole herds have been massacred in a single night and individual rhinos hijacked and murdered on their way to reserves. But since Anna Merz founded her high-security sanctuary, one group of rhinos has been given the chance to survive - and this group is breeding and increasing every year. Here she tells of how, in the face of ridicule and disbelief, she first coaxed 10,000 acres of Africa from a farming family and then permission from the Kenyan government to hunt and capture rhinos in the wild. She describes her unusual life within the sanctuary at the foot of Mt. Kenya, and all she has learnt about rhinos through her daily observations - revealing them to be unexpectedly intelligent and gentle animals, with distinctly individual personalities. And she tells how she acted as substitute mother to Samia, the orphaned baby rhino which she hand-raised for three years, before successfully reintroducing her to the wild.
