In 2012, author Angus Begg was creating a standard insert for a weekly television programme on new approaches to dealing with rhino poaching, when he learned with fascination of the status that rhino horn had attracted within Vietnamese high-society.
What followed was a year-long exploration into the Southern African bushveld. We explain the various rhino species around the globe, bring you audio interviews from respected experts on the subject, and unpack how you can make a difference to a conservation crisis that keeps growing year-on-year.
The iBook features illustrations of the various types of rhino, sketched on an iPad especially for use within iRhino: The Full Story. Apart from creating these sketches, Basil Percimoney, lead designer at immedia, was part of the team who worked on the production of the book.
