animals room at the foot of mount kilimanjaro rages, women are defined traditions to protect some cumulative team lioness with the team of the lionesses that the lion is the most dangerous animal. and we're the bravest women in the world. that's why we call ourselves lionesses was after all. we're women. i can't say we rely on the it's monday morning. the rangers begin the new week, searching for tracks and traces of wild animals. no matter. they came this way. what are the tracks? okay, there's a truck alone, and so that's

a zebra who print the fix. it went this way similar to the 0, the aren't clothes and he said, i know they're like donkeys have got to come in and that's why they're easy to recognize. so isn't differentiate that i got 345678 a to get on because this does have one to the purity has been on the job for 4 years now. it's got, sadly from the my problem i've been calling and most i think i cindy sees supervisor, the purity and leah had to fight hard for their jobs. training was only opened up to women 4 years ago. the area they cover is around and basetti national park. it's on the border between kenya and tanzania.

the the park itself is a reserved almost 400 square kilometers in size. it has the densest the population of wild animals in east africa. the of course, the wild animals repeatedly make their way into the neighboring messiah villages. and for that causes conflict would not be my one best buy. i could tell we had to face many challenges, some of the why number of people and animals live here side by side of the book a. it's clear wild animals because accidents again and again em. unless somebody

never come, especially the lions and elements wake of somebody in the front of the somebody mess m w is the most important thing for us is to protect the wild animals. what do i owe, and i'm sure they're doing well and not being threatened by poachers, even though i know my body not yet cubical. me. tell me that she could not how i know my for people and animals should live together here peacefully. she without getting in each other's way, let them not be left. yeah, they know them to some boy. and then my body lia comes from one of these beside villages. she's been a ranger now for 6 months. a new money somewhere for somebody who is they will not come on. we know this is a very dangerous place. you mean wild animals could be hiding here anywhere? campbell, if they pick up your scent, most of the time to disappear into the bush and eat, but they can also attack you before you even realize they're they're actually que says us. the rangers risk their lives at work daily,

the height 25 kilometers to the savannah, the habitat of elephants, lions, and eat us during their patrols. they've counted as many as 2000 wild animals in 6 months. so most of our hurt or they have the most trouble with the wildlife because they come across the animals again and again. the reason why not when did the lions protect your call night last week? the lion little will know yes with her teeth. but with close, watching so on will. yes, he's old and we that he's already a touch my heard twice as the be just attacks but can't really get the way you heard some with as well as actually has a way i got a lot more love happens to the cough illness. i find on this hill this head was to

and i'm never home page, you sleep on this hill, you'll put it at the bottom of it. and then you going to how many animals have you lost already? have them got. i don't know what all in the loads is good. i know that that seems like how do you deal with the number on the side, but what can i do against the not the case when i get it, it's not easy. one, a lion shows a call that the owner is your union, one would like to kill the bi engineer because it killed his call them by. you know, i'm a ranger, but i'm also a teacher and for the community money then become a trust to me and it's not in the act on my lease or a number. yeah, me, me. i teach them how to deal with the wild animals. what's the level community, what i'm taking the opinion off wednesday, december 4th. uh, somebody i know, i know my party, it's important to team line is that they have close contact with the surrounding

villages. on a we would be the, the, the mold in the front of your face. hold it really tight and take the model. i'll show you about you can do it, you know, i always do it at home when i try not to i mean because i love the women cost us to chat with them when we visit. oh, we just couldn't get oh no. what does that mean that they ask them if they noticed anything? well, they were collecting firewood, which animals did they say? yeah, i look at the guest study what to magical doesn't meant. they're usually the best

informed about what's going on around them. now on the way i came down to the nice that you visiting again given one of the while, you're always very welcome, the noah. did you make them yourselves? aren't they heavy? you know, we don't know them saying that is that a james and the know it would be too short when it's finished or close it into a bracelet like mm hm. well developed the buffalo, let's say one comes to a watering hole, then goes back into the bush and then the father, you know, we don't fetch woods every day. i really do women in the messiah and culture, have little to say, and don't work for pay. phone book when the and i was 10 years

old and i understood it was an easy to be a woman in the must die culture life. i watched my mother the number month how she worked every day, like she got up and mailed the calls that she left and then she got us ready for school and heard the cows out, degrades the young man in the much a. she fetched water and brought the cows back in their shelter. she was responsible for every thing that goes to glen just off. she worked from 4 am to 11 at night and then communion and consummation. i'm curious that the men looked down on us women clout and i'll have a feeling and they say, we don't do anything. we wanna do me a fine. they say we can't even do housework. right? a daniele anika z, a zulu or find a job findings like we have on the line is that because the new um 4 meg gigi? welcome underneath suicide. last the,

during the work week purity and the as the that kept limo together with their middle colleagues. they relax, sleep and eat under one roof. normally, the messiah's daily routine separates the genders the to the messiah of maine in the camp. living together with their female colleagues took some getting used to at the start and their culture flows contact with women is limited to family members. you always have to be informed about what's going on . that's right. how would you stand up so i can move forward? well no, no, no community. the men in our village are very different from our colleagues sides

because we live closely with our co workers. so i'm not like with siblings mixed. and that's why the people in the villages don't have a very good opinion of oh, and i to not want to give you up to feedback and they look down on us. and also about us. it's really not very supportive focused on the individual ground by the i is. when the appraisal can do truth, send to the hopefully god will send you twins. let us pray. i'm sending carla weiss, protect the government and the everyone should pray for that. you are blessed that you may god send us luck. may he guide us? when we walking in the bush, may he protect us with his lovely fragrance, the purity being allowed to see the dinner time prayer is a small child, because that's traditionally

a male domain. she and lee had to apply to the village elders to get their jobs on team lioness. they also have to prove they were physically fit and well educated was on me quite a while, no not come a at the start. the others thought we would just have a good time with a man, i hit and all alone with them in the bush. but people had really dirty thoughts for over time. they came to understand how good we were here for work. how about a no other reason you owe on this? give us it's february. the sun rises at 6 45 am. it's time for roll call. good, go dead. don't be i time running on the bus monitor. went to you went to the to

the couple lines a can you find the quest? oh, no, not the beginning of a male rangers. didn't believe we'd be up to the challenges, encore and the newcomer had to go is that the job is so hard a quote, but we have to hike through the bush for our left him there might ask him timing cuz he thought we'd never and she thought because we were women, is the single and the funds of they didn't know any women before. so did this type of work to help them be we are the 1st all cleanser. 6 south is i believe, as i would do when i as i was looking to speak louder, leave you straight on your leg due to high. so that was all

down very well. that's what it was. uh, but well, own of the more than 800 elephants are living in the region at this time. there are no national park boundaries for them. they migrate from park to park and regularly across most side territory. the female rangers are called out again and again. a herd of elephants has approached the village. the elephant cows are restless because they are young. with that, it's a dangerous situation for the female rangers to combo santa can you find on the funds on one of my 1st patrols we were attacked by

a buffalo user and some were injured. yeah, i was quite frustrated and wanted to quit the job show up on our colleagues were so encouraging and my part of the name was, you know, to those put in the 7th day, i know that these are the challenges i have to face on one the look on way now among the attending to somebody as well after that. some i never thought of getting up. somebody not nice dangerous missions make for strong bonds, liberally and the name on the how i love this work and having it pleases me where you what do you think purity and you the longer that and the i think of this job without this job and then we must die when i wouldn't get any recognition in our community in a lot of my side. i so saw the work has improved our personal situations, middle models, you know, my, the if and then i need to be, well, i mean i have a question, how do you want to have a future? and we are making it possible for you to nag them and we are also aside from the

global, our women and think of other stuff. so yeah, i got an outlet out on the on. i want work like you do. you owe the money i um i bring home and share with my husband. oh yeah. no invested together in our children's education. who do you? oh, yes, unity seasons and offered you the hard time has car will over the years. finally got a few days off after 3 weeks of really hard work. she's visiting her parents in the just 10 kilometers from the camp. the a grew up with 9 siblings. here. her mother is always the 1st person she greets my mom and how are you? gives me a buy

a home at last. yes. i am tired. i say hello. how are you? good. how are you? good. hey, we don't have anything to worry about. anybody in there, we took part of the hud into the forest for a regular boat. whether you did, we have finished high school 2 years ago, or 5 sisters only have a basic education. early on, we was determined to fight for her education. her parents supported her decision to have a career. the, the is the only woman in the village who earns money the

when lia is with her family, she lives the traditional life of the messiah. taking them with some of them at home, i'm a completely different person. so give me a, as in defense, my obligations in the village are very different from those that work then says franco, most people have a bad opinion of my work. because messiah women normally don't move out of their family homes. when police work as a level, they said i change too much. by the end i lose sight of my goals, him up into what do the pop or 2 more thing down by delete to know what time you know. so this is a juan into heels po and flow, and i assume that from the i don't care when you see my mia. i dare from the way they see it. an independent woman only causes problems to succeed because she's too

dominant about the things that she can feed herself to, to her as her own money and not get to and is independent of her family. the actually should have already been married some time ago. many messiah women of a troth, 2 men, when their children, the price of a few goats or sheep blade to equal i your to be our traditions destroy young people's dreams. especially those of women whose dentist, i always wanted to be a veterinarian said, love we. everyone here just made fun of me and said, no, you want to be yvette and, you know, just yeah, you're just a woman. you can become a better death tale. you should get married. you have children start a family, you know, fuck window cornell, and that could be a well, not for me, but i understood them. yeah. that they wanted to destroy my dream,

the pool. me go on that one on so cool. what about when we on the education is the only way to develop a new level of consciousness among the children to know now ro, school was opened to a short time ago in the sy region, 200 girls and boys are being taught in mixed classes, that should reinforce together this hello children. that can can i what do you think when you say this uniform. a ranger? that's right. yeah. a ranger opportunity to my name is charity. i've got of charity law car. i'm just, i'm a ranger. you must e mail ranger and assume this is

a 40. mm. what do you do when you find a deadline? i think the one that misled been 54 hours and i try to find out why she died. i mean, that's what i wasn't a natural guy who's invested more, was he poisoned? i might need one piece, beard or stab, or caught in a snare to make us nest. when you take breaks or do you work all the time? so let the plug in got took off. do you see us often in the bush after lunch we get a short break, then we have to work on weekends too. we work the whole week was only when i'm sitting there or very exhausted, and then i can have some time off and as i should let him watch, but the missile man and i went to a remote school just like this one, had why? and today i'm standing here because i worked hard for for what guys, i'll tell you nothing. everything is possible long as we're boys mange and girls.

then as long as you make the effort, you to welcome thanks for listening, protects you. be disciplined and keep on working hard. thank you very much and see you later. the purity as an example for the school pupils a role model, they can follow sharon's money and can determine the course of her own life. the leo didn't have any role models in her youth. no one who had dared to lift the way she dreamed of. most of the women around her are dependent on their husbands.

via has turned down all offers of marriage up to now. she simply bumped the goats and sheep herself from her salary as a ranger. yeah. does this nanny have a kid? yes. and where is it? zillow here. did you milk this one? no. no, no, don't still the little bit. we have little doubt nama. hold onto her, she has lots of milk. let's give his 9 proud i own goats and sheep. because an arm assign culture unmarried women aren't normally allowed to own animals level now. so i've been the once you get married, you get animals as yes. can you say what i already have some now you'll be known,

you sent me an email from one of that and he's respect in my family. the funny, i will not in the probably i'm no longer powerless that i, that one i can ask my siblings for a favor. so you can even when i'm not here, when you, when they helped me because i can pay them for it. i have something to pay or to submit the guinea to them. plenty of them. so when we, when i found the, the boil fast, i mean, you're still young. you don't know how to grew up. see now. yeah, i know how it works. the is mother wasn't allowed to attend school as a child and she's always supported her daughter's dreams for exactly back reason

not in the from ivy. i love how for it while you wait a little that she went to school and will not. i hope she'll still retrieve, even though i thank god she worked so hard and has read to you so much. i've always prayed for the by when i'm not, i'm not going to let you down by the lead, still dreams of becoming a veterinarian working as a ranger is paving the way to that goal. the work of team lion. this is also paying off for the animals. despite government bands, poachers still hunt elephants so legally the

each year and can you alone? $100.00 tons of ivory are confiscated. the price for test guy every can be around $1000.00 heroes, a key low. the, in the meantime, there are hardly any poachers and the female rangers patrol area. the team's daily presence has frightened off many a criminal in our culture, a man is only a real man when he is hills alliance lesson by means and people only respect him when he is killed. the 10 lions that will make for the men today don't kill lions anymore. so that's like a so we protect the lion and get together with the man. not the the

cause of it. the man, i've been part of the same lie and assign it, but there been lots of positive changes. so i know that we're placing so much more value on protecting animals. and there aren't any cases of poaching anymore in this area. i do sometimes i do not condone will can do go to come. i you what sometimes someone feels like a zone. uh, but not for economic gain to laugh at it because people are hungry for food for, for my show on the these cases are very rare. that the cases of the over there

are it is like a tortoise area that is a sleeping yes. yes. again, i realize and the other one the police is bless you. the only reason i'm letting my say we believe it as those more kids with you internet and the bed for a refund. the need the, the been always drive away from purity and lee is, can, is a small town with almost 1000 residents. it's called to keep on the shopping opportunities, a clinic schools and businesses keep on a is a commercial center for them aside.

the tuesday is market day. the women go shopping for ranger camp supplies. we come in the key, ryan, could tom boy every one lovingly cause mama esther has set up a commissary here. this is the food we're taking with us today. hasn't been weighed. not yet. he is as beans, including me or she'll get an oil is back to you. mama esther was one of the 1st people to campaign for the rights of messiah women. she can vince the international fund for animal welfare. just supporting lion this as a pilot project.

i'm so happy when i see all goes from the messiah villages, learn from the proves, they don't have to get married to to i'm can work independently in glanville, their own allies. how you deal with these of them kind of in the ways has to be right. fill it up some more, the left lifted together. the didn't we were wrong for a long time, but now we can accept that up. children must go to school them. these young people will lead us into the future. the

cartoon is coming to the women from team lion. this can change our culture. we can do the same hard work is the man give you a plan and we've got to make the young generation aware that it's a good job be done. and you can make yourself independent by doing it. they say upon the, in doing that something good with the new to new issue and what key at that to your, your life to you. so we're enriching our culture to fucking those who to sign up for the remainder to india and the left green lock on the the women make time to chat between the afternoon shift and dinner. they talk about all sorts of things, fashion men,

but also about their cultural burden. many messiah are subject to painful rituals, the drum well, when you get branded somebody, you'll always hutch and they become ragin supposedly me, and you're done. we can, well, you can say at heels faster and if it bleeds, the little community that was true for me. but what i really had is the removal of the bottom 2 front teeth. my hate up to i comp for noun. some was a tool any more let me say to them out. even though you didn't want it like the more violent be taken out when i was 4 years old. they just, i can still remember the day. isn't they used to nice, susan? their allegedly doing it for beauty? minnes 8. 0, that's what they can see. your messiah from the brand. unless you get to a new my say effort. some people believe you must have food with a donkey. if you'll tease, don't take them out. is that true? thought low as well. so like you, you share with the dog. right. and the good it is under our tradition that we've

got to get rid of like females or composition and some of those i did have a say that doesn't help anyone who the say it's torture for the women and denies. oh, they're right. come across to us, the apology is mutually to the use of the me says and so forth. you are, there are long term consequences. the young man, you're going to ask me as uh, what's the worst that can happen inside the center. nadine? no one of us you can get diseases like cutting that out from the rusty razor blade for a couple and giving birth is difficult so we can do the one, the e s or not even in my budget. and that's doing, there are already positive changes in our culture because them but and the younger generation is reading. unfortunately, majority po, come up,

but the not good messiah cultural tradition to him. but most recent, get read office, that can we say good. what stop by militia? female genital mutilation shows how long the process of change can take. it's still being practiced as a matter of course and remote regions. today, the giraffes, news and elephants move through regions populated by them aside as they forage and search for water. the predators like even us approach the villages to the messiahs, goats and sheep are easy prey, but village residents lives can be threatened as well. when people are attacked. the female rangers are always called the

of the readings. and mm hm. i'm wondering, my name's lot of time. we spent the whole day out with the goats and sheep. we were leading them to water whole night. i watched them carefully until the evening until we got lost in them. hygienist showed up all at once and scattered the herds and knew the nickelodeon they said the boy ran one way, and i ran the other 11. listen, i'm okay. what sort of a might, i mean, what are you most afraid of when the wild animals

tell me about it? when the hyenas and elephants came closer, my boy started to crying and then i thought i was going to die then. mm hm. the me where the canadian don't be afraid. we're here for you. hold a massa, we're letting you know, we'll look into you and you'll help you get over it and make i would run into like him then go your god will keep protecting off oregon 9 meg. i mean we work 9 to the night time law. this is nicole, my, the 1st i was trained for situations like that and i handle people with understand

it again. definitely. yeah. they is the same. i mean yes of the problem. now colleagues often react with roughness and toughness. when they speak to villagers depaula level venue, i don't get no one on and to come up when i a cheese my and by handling them with my sensitivity and all of these and never reacting aggressively as amanda. i'm see you soon. goodbye. the, the rainy season ends in february, then a great many animals come into the female ranges area the, the water holes are full, the

that means really long working days for purity, the, and the rest of the team. the use the opportunity to observe the animals up close the do you still know what he's cooled? nope, i've forgotten some water buffalo we're getting really close to move 0 bowls. the the this is their small. they've just come out of the water quite the way. you might decide that ones aggressive in the you're right, a fighter for the us. if you guess how now

the through the a and then when i talk to purity is speaking from experience once she was to be charged by a water buffalo. g only survived because she played dead the the resist, i'm going to in my work, we continually get really close to wild animals going to say dangerous animal sofa level. it could be if this elephant charges full speed. yeah. at the food in my life is in danger. we see hoopa, laser light, find that god hasn't noticed us because he's eating

a new look at it. may he then say, didn't you come to was you can only study the animals behavior and then find out how they're doing, what, by getting close to them, you definitely know the animal is getting used to me in my uniform angle. not that reinforces our connection to the previous close, the

do the my less. okay. and i should sound good being something good maple so mean my food have moved and also me families. so yes, a most of these can go to so i would like to do something good the because the thinking, you know, what involve my experience is that the role of women is becoming stronger. and i'd like to encourage girls to go their own way. a cooperation on and living together with a man works well. you and you and there's nothing objectionable about it quite a while now. it doesn't mean we don't respect our culture. meaning the quite the opposite, the country i would like our culture to change. do cool. what, but the morality upon my new suitable funny because you felt more yeah,

the cheap light and this goes out brimming with confidence and energy, to play soccer with their male colleagues after a full working day and even if they lose their still winners. meaning uh, from your cousin does that mean i hope with our work we are able to secure animal population while she does up by to find the assistance for their cars and at the same time get our community to reconsider up the item yet to today by the addition that i'd like to work hard to support women need these present, they should get further education and build up a strong network. if one does, it was up and you say no, we knew it was a visual after player 2 team, lioness marks the start of changing the time. it's a new one. so what is the down by the yes, the,
