The Vanishing Game of South Africa: A Warning and an Appeal is a book written by William Temple Hornaday, published in 1922. The book is a call to action to protect the wildlife of South Africa, particularly the big game animals that were rapidly disappearing due to hunting and habitat destruction. Hornaday, an American naturalist and conservationist, had previously written a book on the extinction of the American bison, and turned his attention to the plight of African wildlife after a visit to the continent. He documents the history of hunting in South Africa, the impact of colonialism on the natural world, and the current state of conservation efforts. The book includes vivid descriptions of the animals Hornaday encountered on his travels, including lions, elephants, and rhinoceroses. He also discusses the cultural significance of these animals to the indigenous people of South Africa, and argues that their preservation is a moral imperative. The Vanishing Game of South Africa is both a warning and an appeal to readers to take action to protect the natural world. Hornaday calls on governments, conservation organizations, and individuals to work together to preserve the remaining wildlife of South Africa before it is too late. The book is an important historical document of early conservation efforts and a reminder of the ongoing need to protect endangered species.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
