About the Book

In 1971 I received an appointment in a United Nations Development Wildlife Project in Zambia Africa. From that time until May 1984 I worked on projects in the Developing World. This book is about my experiences, the environment, the people and the animals that I met in those countries, I worked in rural areas and with the people who lived and worked in those areas. I learned much about the world that had been unknown to me. I hope you enjoy reading the book as much as I enjoyed living it.

About the Author

“Jim” Naylor was raised, one of five children, by exceptionally good parents, on the plains of eastern New Mexico during the 1930’s. Because of the war, instead of attending high school Jim became a railroad telegraph operator. After brief duty in the army, 1945-1946, two years of travel and work and five years as railroad train dispatcher he married. Starting in 1960 he earned a B.S and M.S. at the University of New Mexico and a Ph. D. in Botany at North Dakota State. This led to the experiences told of in this book.
