A Wild Life: the Edwin Wiek story

Abstract
Edwin Wiek is a true wildlife warrior.
A rebel from childhood, this Dutchman is the founder of Asia’s largest multispecies wildlife rescue centre, a fearless interrupter of illicit wildlife trafficking and an advisor to the Thai government on animal law reform.
This was not always his life. A serious car accident led him to turn his back on a 'perfect', easy living in the fashion business in the search for meaning.
He has been raided, arrested several times, injured and threatened, but his focus is unwavering.
Edwin has been featured liberally on Bondi Vet, Animal Planet and National Geographic and ABC’s Foreign Correspondent.
He is rude, rebellious and recalcitrant, but no one has done more in Asia to give so many rescued animals as close to a wild life as possible.
No holds are barred in this thorough biography of a remarkable game-changer.
