Lost Camels of Tartary HARE, JOHN
United States Little, Brown & Company 1998 0316645435 / 9780316645430 First Edition
16pp of colour and b&w illustrations d/j In 1993, Hare, international conservationist, children's author and sometime BBC correspondent who had acquired a knowledge of camels from his African work, began a series of four expeditions into the Mongolian Gobi and China's remote, forbidding Xinjiang Province in search of the wild Bactrian camel. Considered one of the world's rarest animals (more endangered than the giant panda), the Bactrian camel survives in a fraction of its original range and numbers in the inhospitable Gobi Desert - an area which Hare recently helped make a sanctuary for the camels. This excitingly paced, well-written travel adventure and wildlife conservation story is destined to become a classic of the genre.
