Chifungwe: An African Adventure
By David R. PattonSteeped in magic and superstition, Africa is a land in which man and nature form an inseparable bond. This lesson struck home for wildlife biologist David R. Patton as he tracked elephants as part of a land use survey in the Luangwa Valley, Africa. Little did he realize that Chifungwe, the first elephant marked with his ingenious tagging system, would upset the balance between nature and man by playing upon the superstitions of the native people. While trying to track and protect Chifungwe, Patton discovers the true dichotomy between the African way of life and manĀ?s selfish pursuits.Developed from the authorĀ?s daily diary from the time, Chifungwe: An African Adventure relates PattonĀ?s eye-opening encounters in a foreign land. The dramatic backdrop of the African plains reflects the power inherent in a land where animals possess magical powers and man strives to benefit from them in a multitude of ways
