In the remote and unforgiving wilderness of Central Africa, former wildlife officer Zahir Khan spent years working undercover to expose the illegal poaching industry. His mission was to infiltrate the secretive networks of poachers, corrupt officials, and criminal syndicates that were decimating wildlife populations across the continent.

Poachers Were My Prey is Khan's gripping memoir of his time working undercover. He recounts the dangers and challenges he faced, from being threatened by poachers to being targeted by corrupt officials. He also describes the devastating impact that poaching has on wildlife populations, and the toll it takes on the people who work to protect them.

Khan's story is a unique and important contribution to the literature on poaching. It offers a firsthand account of the complex and often hidden world of poaching, and it sheds light on the devastating impact that poaching has on wildlife populations around the world. Khan's courage and determination are an inspiration to all who work to protect wildlife, and his story is a reminder of the importance of fighting for what we believe in.
