"Dedication to conservation is vital for our species to survive and we thank Mark for his contribution via his rare talent in poetry. Part of our awareness in 'Demand Reduction' campaigns is: visual art, theatre, music and dance, with words and motions displayed in fitting performances. In this case the 'Words' speak for themselves and hopefully will stir readers of this book into action." Grant Fowlds, Conservationist, Author, Amakhala Founder Mark Graham, the author of Words from the Wild, has written poetry in support of charities both in the UK and South Africa. This, his second book, is written in support of the Amakhala Foundation which provides conservation education to communities around the Amakhala Game Reserve, Eastern Cape, SA. Many of the poems are humorous; all, it is hoped, are educational. The book is intended to act as a vehicle to raise awareness of the plight of South African wildlife and wildlife in general.
