Super informative book about a women's group in Africa that protects animals and the environment from poachers. Great color photographs.

A quick read, celebrating the Black Mambas all-female, anti-poaching unit in South Africa. This is targeted at a young audience, featuring minimal and basic text. The quality of the abundant photos is quite good. I see this book in school and public libraries where it would be a nice reference book or simply a page flipper for upper elementary and middle school students.

The author spent five years observing the Black Mambas and I suspect she could also write a more sophisticated and quite interesting book detailing the formation of the unit, the work, and the operational and cultural challenges faced by the Black Mambas, for a mature audience. I would read that book.
