Richard Peirce is best known as a shark conservationist and as the author of Sharks in British Seas, Sharks off Cornwall & Devon, and Shark Attack Britain. Richard and his wife Jacqui, now live in South Africa for part of the year where they spend a lot of time in the bush following their passion for wildlife. The Poacher's Moon is the true story of attacks by poachers on rhinos in three private game reserves. Higgins and Lady are two rhinos which survived having their horns hacked out of their heads, and this is their story. It is also the story of other rhinos which didn't survive, and of rhino poaching in South Africa. A portion of the net proceeds from sales of The Poacher's Moon will be donated by Richard and Jacqui Peirce to On the Ground rhino protection against poaching.
