    <![CDATA[In this thrilling real-life adventure, Mark and Delia Owens tell the dramatic story of their last years in Africa, fighting to save elephants, villagers, and&#8212;in the end&#8212;themselves. The award-winning zoologists and pioneering conservationists describe their work in the &#8220;remote and ruggedly beautiful&#8221; Luangwa Valley in northeastern Zambia, where the elephant population had been severely depleted. As they studied the mysteries of the elephants&#8217; recovery, they found remarkable behavioral similarities between elephants and humans. They also encountered a scientific mystery: how could there be so many baby elephants and so few females old enough to be mothers? Ultimately, a young elephant named Gift provided a clue to help them crack the elephants&#8217; secret of survival. A stirring, hopeful, and poignant portrait of life in Africa, Secrets of the Savanna is a vivid record of the Owenses&#8217; unique passions.]]>
