Time Is Short and the Water Rises: Operation Gwam Ba: The Story of the Rescue of 10,000 Animals from Certain Death in a South American Rain Forest

John Walsh

4.4/5 ( ratings)

In Surinam, in the exotic world of a South American rain forest, gwamba means animal. And Operation Gwamba? For 18 dramatic months Operation Gwamba meant John Walsh--and his heartwarming, danger-filled struggle to save 10,000 animals from certain death.

Operation Gwamba began when ISPA learned that thousands of forest creatures were trapped by the spreading artificial lake behind the new Afobaka Dam in Surinam -- formerly Dutch Guiana. To Surinam, ISPA sent John Walsh, a young man trained in rescue techniques by the Massachusetts SPCA. What followed was one of this century's most extraordinary true adventures of man and animal.
