In an effort to save the last large piece of pristine savanna in Africa, a band of Wyoming conservationists have persuaded the president of the Central African Republic to let them raise an anti-poaching militia to patrol the eastern third of the Texas-size country. Led by Bruce Hayse, a family practitioner from Jackson, the group intends to drive out marauding gangs of Sudanese poachers who are rapidly decimating the region's wildlife and terrorizing villagers. The conservationists have been given shoot-on-sight authority. (National Geographic Adventure, October 2002) Dangerous Medicine

Every time he stops to change a flat tire or replace an axle, he's bait for leeches, wild boars, taipans, and giant crocs. (National Geographic Adventure, Spring 1999) BooksWild Planet!
