4:20 am
themselves as the rhinos eyes and ears. since we started in 2030 that are in a pushing to cruise by 17 percent of the really push me pushing the cruise by 73 percent so that shows that. we are changing the way things used to be and we are changing the mentality of people because those people who used to come in and put snares or come in including writing as they can now see that the members are or do speak to. the members collect information and stay in contact with the local population this helps them prevent poaching without the use of weapons. i am sure that women are the best because we are still caring lobbying and really less so sickly we don't give information to inability. to do that.

4:23 am
your vehicle not because we think you've stolen something but just because those are the rules. please open up all the bad. people. do we really have to. yes we have to check everything. the members also look for ordinary wire which poachers used to set traps. just so and then let's say. coming running and then at the end of that they had of him by scratching him and hard to him but i was trying to move that stuff is there was just keep going at least until it gets tight and then make of the end but i end it cannot brazen him one of the
