About this title

From the Inside Flap:

Tiger Moon is the powerful, poetic story of the two years Fiona and Mel Sunquist spent studying tigers in Nepal-traveling by elephant, avoiding a rhino attack, and learning to recognize individual tigers by roar. A new afterword tells the story of a promising effort to reconnect fractured Nepalese and Indian tiger habitats by developing an arc of protected areas that allows tigers and their prey to move more freely through the large territories they need to survive.
