About this Item

Hardcover. Blood Moon is a photo essay capturing the most extraordinary efforts to rescue rhinos from high-poaching zones in South Africa, and to save the species in secret locations in Botswana. Involving the help of military personnel, planes, helicopters, and private-sector gunboats, it is an action-packed story for sure. Through breathtaking photography and riveting prose, Blood Moon not only captures the never-before-seen rescue of rhinos, but also transcends wildlife publishing to celebrate the life of these elusive animals and the vanishing habitats of Africa.Blood Moon is the rare artistic effort that works on one's senses on many levels, inviting the reader to truly engage with the subject on every page. As a visual statement, there are few opportunities to take wildlife imagery to a new level and still maintain its authenticity. Here, the striking black-and-white photography is paired with the use of red, which has always been symbolic of wealth in the East, the largest market for rhino horns.Blood Moon is a celebration of what humanity can do if we try to turn back extinction. Following a lifetime of animal rescue and African wildlife conservation efforts, Beverly and Dereck Joubert raise the alarm to the plight of the rhino. This oversize volume is both a celebration of these magnificent animals and a call to action to save them from vanishing forever.
