Those who follow developments in African wildlife conservation may have read about the recent successful rescue of Angola’s national animal, the magnificent giant sable.  I was the only journalist on the August, 2009 expedition, a last-ditch effort to pull this iconic animal back from extinction.  Click GIANT.SABLES.1 to read part I of my two-part series, “Antelope from the Ashes.” It’s just come out in the June issue of Africa Geographic.  Part II will appear in the July issue and will be posted here.
