520    "Françoise Malby-Anthony's The Elephants of Thula Thula is
       a powerful, gripping story about an extraordinary herd of 
       elephants and the woman dedicated to keeping them safe. 
       'Somehow, the elephants got into my soul, and it became my
       life's work to see them safe and happy. There was no 
       giving up on that vision, no matter how hard the road was 
       at times.' Françoise Malby-Anthony is the owner of a game 
       reserve in South Africa with a remarkable family of 
       elephants whose adventures have touched hearts around the 
       world. The herd's feisty matriarch Frankie knows who's in 
       charge at Thula Thula, and it's not Francoise. But when 
       Frankie becomes ill, and the authorities threaten to 
       remove or cull some of the herd if the reserve doesn't 
       expand, Françoise is in a race against time to save her 
       beloved elephants . . . The joys and challenges of a life 
       dedicated to conservation are vividly described in The 
       Elephants of Thula Thula. The search is on to get a 
       girlfriend for orphaned rhino Thabo - and then, as his 
       behaviour becomes increasingly boisterous, a big brother 
       to teach him manners. Françoise realizes a dream with the 
       arrival of Savannah the cheetah - an endangered species 
       not seen in the area since the 1940s - and finds herself 
       rescuing meerkats kept as pets. But will Thula Thula 
       survive the pandemic, an invasion from poachers and the 
       threat from a mining company wanting access to its land? 
       As Françoise faces her toughest years yet, she realizes 
       once again that with their wisdom, resilience and communal
       bonds, the elephants have much to teach us"--|cProvided by
