Bernhard Grzimek, renowned for his work in African wildlife conservation, turns his attention to the animals of Europe, Soviet Russia, and North America. "Wild Animal, White Man" chronicles his journey to understand the state of wildlife closer to home.
Grzimek expresses his disappointment that even in vast regions, few areas remain untouched by human interference. He shares observations, anecdotes, and facts about diverse animal species, from the ibex and grizzly bear to the lynx and hare. He highlights the conservation efforts in Russia, particularly the Askania Nova nature reserve. The book also delves into the challenges faced by wildlife in the face of human expansion. It contrasts the efforts to preserve wildlife in Africa with the situation in the "white" continents. This work is a call to action, urging readers to consider the fate of wildlife and to take action to protect it.
