FGASA is excited to announce that the long-awaited field guide, Tracking Animals: A Guide to Trailing Wildlife, is now available—and it’s already being hailed as an essential addition to every professional guide’s library.
Co-authored by Lee Gutteridge and Dr. Kersey Lawrence, two of the most respected names in the world of wildlife tracking, this book dives deep into the art and science of trailing wild animals on foot. With decades of combined experience across Africa and beyond, Lee and Kersey bring unparalleled knowledge, practical advice, and real-world insights to the pages of this beautifully illustrated guide.
This comprehensive book is more than just a reference; it’s a training companion designed to build the skills of both aspiring and experienced trackers. Covering a wide range of topics—from reading subtle track signs and interpreting animal behaviour to understanding ecological context—the guide is packed with high-quality photographs, case studies, and step-by-step tracking techniques.
Lee and Kersey have dedicated their lives to tracking education and ethical field practices. Their combined expertise has created a resource that is both scientifically grounded and deeply respectful of the traditional knowledge systems that underpin modern tracking.
Whether you’re preparing for your next CyberTracker assessment, honing your field skills, or simply passionate about wildlife, Tracking Animals is a must-read.
