I’ve always had an intense, soppy relationship with furry creatures, so I consumed the Doctor Dolittle books, and Elleston Trevor’s “Deep Wood” and “Badger’s Moon,” and Kenneth Grahame’s “The Wind in the Willows” and Percy FitzPatrick’s “Jock of the Bushveld.”

His firm plans to produce vanadium pentoxide in South Africa to be used in VRBs that Bushveld hopes to erect across Africa.

Tucker and her team have only managed to rescue 12 white lions and return them to a 4,400-acre area of protected endemic bushveld.

What might we hear from the bushveld, the mopane scrub or the acacia thickets — from the people who live, raise their children, and make a living alongside elephants and lions?
