Françoise Malby-Anthony, the owner of the Thula Thula reserve in South Africa, has written an international bestseller, "The Elephants of Thula Thula," that vividly describes the joys and challenges of a life dedicated to conservation. The book tells the story of the remarkable family of elephants that call the reserve home, and their adventures have touched hearts around the world.

The herds feisty matriarch, Frankie, knows who's in charge at Thula Thula, and it's not Françoise. However, when Frankie becomes ill, and the authorities threaten to remove or cull some of the herd if the reserve doesn't expand, Françoise is in a race against time to save her beloved elephants.

The search is on to get a girlfriend for orphaned rhino Thabo, and then, as his behavior becomes increasingly boisterous, a big brother to teach him manners. Françoise realizes a dream with the arrival of Savannah, the cheetah, an endangered species not seen in the area since the 1940s, and finds herself rescuing meerkats kept as pets.

However, will Thula Thula survive the pandemic, an invasion from poachers, and the threat from a mining company wanting access to its land? As Françoise faces her toughest years yet, she realizes once again that with their wisdom, resilience, and communal bonds, the elephants have much to teach us.

"The Elephants of Thula Thula" is a testament to the power of love, dedication, and the resilience of nature. It reminds us of the importance of protecting and preserving the natural world and the incredible creatures that inhabit it. Françoise Malby-Anthony's story is an inspiration to all who read it, and her commitment to conservation will continue to make a difference in the world for years to come.
