Description: Documenting one of the rare success stories in the history of wildlife conservation, The Return of the Unicorns distills two decades of intensive fieldwork and research on one of the world's most endangered animals: Rhinoceros unicornis, commonly known as the greater one-horned rhinoceros.

Review Quotes: This book offers much to anyone interested in practical, how-to conservation, far-away landscapes, large and exotic-sounding mammals, biodiversity, planning, and tropical ecology.... A beautifully candid account... this is the book that conservation pragmatists and cynics should read to discover why optimism about the conservation of large mammals in human-dominated landscapes is not misplaced.--Joel Berger "Conservation Biology"
