Book Synopsis The Last Wild Island by : John L. Read
Book excerpt: This is the story of Tetepare, the South Pacific's largest uninhabited island. One and a half centuries after headhunters fled the island, Tetepare's virgin rainforest and teeming coral reefs were pitted against destructive logging companies and greedy 'big men'. Yet from the darkest years of the Solomon Islands' ethnic tension arose the nations' first world-class conservation initiative. Peppered with humorous anecdotes, The Last Wild Island: Saving Tetepare will entertain and inform about the culture of this intriguing island nation.
