The book is an impactful memoir of a man who wasn’t afraid to take drastic measures to protect Australia’s wildlife. Wamsley’s dedication and controversial methods makes it fascinating.

What John Wamsley has accomplished is massive. The continuous extinction of wildlife and plants is frustrating. This book is a chronicle of a life devoted to love and passion for nature. A great book indeed.

"A Vanishing Kind" by John Wamsley and Stephen L Davey is an interesting book that explains the struggles that accompanied the establishment of the Earth Sanctuaries Limited Company in Australia. The book is interesting and easy-to-read. John himself is an interesting person.
