There is an elephant poaching crisis in Africa that threatens the magnificent animal with extinction. But the tide is beginning to turn. Countries affected have begun to coordinate a reaction to this crisis. The Giants Club was founded by Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, with the presidents of Botswana, Gabon, and Uganda, with support from Space for Giants and its patron, Evgeny Lebedev, owner of the Independent and Evening Standard newspapers. "Giants Club" is a special section of the Independent introduced as a platform for telling the stories that are turning the tide in this battle against man's greed and disregard for our planet. The best of those stories by Independent journalists are included in this book.
