the plight of the rhinos.
STORY BY RENEE CAPPS
F
rom butterflies and crocodiles to
rhinos and hyenas, Peter Clark’s career
spanning nearly 50 years has involved
advocating for and working with some of
the rarest animals in the world. He’s been bitten
by a crocodile, had insects named after him and
is now working on bringing the African safari
experience to South Australia. Monarto Safari
Park is embarking on a $50 million project called
Wild Africa, which will see an expansion of 550
hectares, increased animal population, an 80
room hotel and glamping style accommodation
along with 20 kilometres of safari track.
