Description

In this deeply poignant tribute, photographer Joachim Schmeisser presents these rhinos as well as other wild animals in the Amboseli National Park in Kenya, where Maasai tribespeople ensure that nobody endangers them. With his breath-taking black-and-white images, Schmeisser brings us up close to these extraordinary and endangered creatures, creating a powerful document of nature's splendour and fragility. SELLING POINTS: . From the photographer behind Elephants in Heaven. . Remarkable, intimate pictures that bring us up close to Africa's "Big Five." . A tribute and a warning cry, showing some of the most endangered animals on earth. 160 b/w photographs
