Endangered: The Javan Rhino Story by Dr Steve Wilson is a compelling blend of memoir, wildlife science and conservation
adventure. Spanning a six-year PhD journey through the dense jungles of Java, this book reveals the rarely seen world
of one of Earth's most elusive animals, the Javan rhino. With warmth and curiosity, Dr Wilson shares discoveries about their
communication, social and wallowing behaviours, and the practical steps he uncovered to expand their shrinking habitat
and food sources. But this is not just a research log. It is an engaging and personal narrative filled with stories of local
wildlife, unexpected encounters, community connections and collaborations with national park staff and rhino protection
teams. Through humour, honesty and scientific insight, Dr Wilson brings to life the urgency of saving this endangered
species while inviting readers into the heart of conservation. Both informative and entertaining, this is a unique window into
a world few ever get to see.
