Biografi

Step behind the scenes of one of the world's top ten zoological gardens with Willie Labuschagne in his captivating second memoir, Of Man and Beast. As director during a time of intense political change and unprecedented challenges in South Africa, Willie recounts his wild journey with humour, suspense, and unflinching honesty. From managing the needs of over 9 000 animals during the first-ever massive staff strike, to navigating the intricate politics of acquiring unique species as diplomatic gifts for Nelson Mandela, Willie's stories are as enlightening as they are entertaining. He shares thrilling close encounters with wild animals, and the light-hearted moments that make every day in the zoo an adventure. Willie's experiences extend beyond the zoo's boundaries – from an intimidating passage through Checkpoint Charlie in 1987 to life-threatening situations in the depths of the Congolese jungle. His compelling narrative underscores the pivotal and indispensable role zoos play in conservation and discusses their evolution in 'biological gardens', inviting readers to understand the crucial importance of controlled breeding in conservation and the preservation of endangered species. Of Man and Beast is not just an account of a man's life among animals, but a profound look at the responsibilities we share in safeguarding our planet's diverse inhabitants. Willie asks readers to reflect on the future of wildlife conservation, poised between the extremes of poaching and habitat destruction. This book is a must-read for anyone passionate about wildlife, conservation, and the extraordinary stories of a man who has dedicated his life to understanding and protecting the natural world. Join Willie as he leads us through his incredible journey, exploring the complex relationship between man and beast, and the enduring impact of his work on our global ecosystem. Of Man and Beast is an urgent, beautiful homage to the wild connections that bind us all.
