The Black Mambas: The World's First All-Woman Anti-Poaching Unit tells the story of a group of women who work tirelessly protecting animals in their homeland. The threat of poaching decimates local animal populations and these women head into danger, sometimes against the wishes of their families, to catch poachers and find the hidden and deadly traps they leave behind. This hopeful environmental story gives the reader a glimpse through colorful pictures of the struggles to save our natural resources.

Obviously a book meant for Kids, but easily could have had more detail regarding what the the Black Mambas do verse being a mere outline. At least he lists other sources, to look up, then read more about the group and still a decent read for the right age group.

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.
