The Soul of the Rhino
The soul of the rhino was a thrilling tale by Hemanta Mishra, a man on a mission to save the rhinos of the world, mainly ones located in Nepal. He began by starting a zoo located in Nepal which became an immediate success and forever changed the Nepalese culture. It was an enormous undertaking and it was declared only 101 years after the first National Park, (Yellowstone) came into existance. The Nepalese to this day are very proud of their feat. Mishra then explains the plight of the rhino and through skilled storytelling gets the reader very involved and emotional about his quest to save the rhino. Non-fiction and interesting, two words that don't normally go together but meet each other for this book.

How could a zoo change Nepalese culture? In what way would it change it anyway?
