Alex Barrett is slowly progressing with his book about conservation in Africa and the conflicts and issues that face the well intentioned outsiders that become embroiled in the industry. Using short stories and true life examples he hopes to bring a new insight to a subject that turns out to be far more complex than it first appears. You can now read some extracts of the book as well as follow his progress as he shares snippets from his journal with us.
