Úžasná kniha o záchraně zvířat s deštných pralesů, které mají být zaplaveny výstavbou přehrady. Autor po mnoha přesvědčování odjel se svým týmem do Surinamu, kde právě dokončili Afobackou přehradu a začali ji napouštět. Jednalo se o území 870 čtverečních mil a tisíce zvířat, která se před vodou uchýlila na vyvýšená místa, vzniklé ostrovy a ostrůvky. Ale voda stále stoupá a času je zoufale málo. Při této operaci se podařilo zachránit něco přes 10 000 živočichů. 1. vydání.
