“Asia is a vast and varied continent stretching from the Arctic Circle in the north to the Equator in the south. Within its boundaries are some of the most thickly populated areas in the world, and some of the most desolate, empty spaces of desert, mountain and steppe. It has the highest mountains in the world, and some of the deepest tropical jungles. All this variety maintains a corresponding variety of wild life, except in those places where humans are dominant. Thus, in India, the lion and the rhinoceros are reduced to a remnant, the Mongolian wild horse will soon be extinct, if it not already so, and the dugong has been hunted to a shadow of its former numbers. Soon, unless man becomes suddenly more intelligent, we shall have to face the fact that where he lives and works, animal life will continue to suffer, and where he is in complete control the animals must disappear completely. C.F. Tunnicliffe.” [Inside front cover].
