Descriere magazin:
nThe captivating history of the okapi and its symbolic role in science, culture, and conservation.n nIn Discovering the Okapi, Simon Pooley offers a fascinating portrait of the okapi--an elusive short-necked giraffid with zebra stripes, surviving in the rainforests of central Africa\'s Congo basin--and unpacks the complicated layers of Western science and Indigenous knowledge that shaped the world\'s understanding of this unique creature. n nPooley tells the story of the okapi\'s discovery in 1900 by British naturalist Sir Harry Johnston, as well as the overlooked contributions of the Indigenous African people whose expertise made this sighting and subsequent hunt for specimens possible. The book traces how colonial politics and scientific racism shaped early accounts of the animal\'s study and examines the enduring biases that continue to influence conservation efforts today. The okapi became a symbol of scientific curiosity, colonial power, and conservation challenges, revealing complex intersections among biodiversity, cultural heritage, and environmental stewardship. Its precarious existence in captivity and the wild exposes how Western and Indigenous approaches to conservation can--and must--find common ground for its survival.n
