Peter Beard [1938 - 2020] was an American artist, photographer and writer who lived in Kenya and New York. The Epilogue is by Dr. Richard M. La…ws, Former Director of Tsavo Research Project, Kenya, who comments that 'In Africa today, animal populations are being increasingly confined within limited and unnatural boundaries. more political than ecological. [and] that the increasing concentration of any species in arbitrarily restricted areas will result in overpopulation, habitat destruction, and local. extinction of that species.' Inscription reads, "Dear Gordon, Warmest Greeting and elephantine memories and please stay in touch with those "reports" 2000 a.d. and others. I hope this 20 year accumulation on "STARVO" National Park gives you an idea of my position. Meanwhile many congrats on your work and your awareness! With admiration, Peter (B.)"

He also has made edits in the margins of the epilogue in green ink, regarding conservation efforts.
