fans. poachers are constantly trying to force their way in there after right harvests all too often they sexy. funding these for the next generation i like each to know if there's a need so if we'd lose all interest in his day next generation yourself it will never know a good rain is to just see peaches but you will never get to see a degree of. the black mamba consider themselves the eyes and ears of the park for the sake of the rhino as they gather information observe and patrol. they've been doing it for 7 years and that's time poaching has gone down significantly they also spread the worlds to local residents everyone benefits from the animals they break your wrists and jobs. i am sure that the women at its best and decision.
6:34 pm
because we are still caring. and we. just say even in comes the most dangerous part of their work begins for most poachers nightfall is the beginning of the workday the black mamba us make sure their presence is known every night. one time later cross paths with no troops. they stop at a 10 meter was the most they were looking at it would also be a bit then what they did that we need to write so challenging and it was so scary in such cases call the parks poaching rangers. but tonight just calm interrupted only by sighting of him and hippopotamus. then suddenly their truck dies just as it's passing the hippos. into that mrs
6:35 pm
armine time to start how can some of the best because it's quite challenging because we're in the bush to this beach fire and now it because anytime d.d. wants to yeah. to stay. success the truck comes back to life the black mamba keep going until 11 pm then sleep till 6 when they become the park's eyes and ears. joining me now from south africa as our correspondents. worked on reports we just saw. slice to see you looking good so let's get straight to it so why do people there ryan news so important that they would risk their lives protecting them. i mean obviously of the people in the region have seen what happened in the past do
6:36 pm
use indicates that the numbers of wryness just went down and down and be i did as of course also an economic interest because as you know the region iran crew the national park really heavy leidy pends once your isn't of thousands of tourists i coming from the round the world's to see the wildlife off south africa to see the riaa nurse in particular so everybody of their has a particular interest for the wryness to be there as well so the cheer response come and they of course bring money into the country and that's creates jobs so give us an idea how critical is the pugin problem there it is very critical cern the past years there's an average of $1000.00 ryan is that have been poached per year the number us been going down a little bits in the last year which is that positive sign but not yet as signed that gives reason for hope it doesn't really show that everything is changing now it's just improving slightly end a mentioned it already the economic aspect and this is also the reason why people actually getting into poaching the unemployment rate as extremely high in south
6:37 pm
africa especially amongst young people and there's not so many opportunities there so this makes it of course easier for those people who are into poaching to gets a young guys doing a job for a few $100.00 or euros and then their into it but it's also not only like the small i'm employed guys who are doing that and trying to take a chance i talk to several people were actually saying and many cases it's very wealthy business people behind the whole business and who are half the fun stupid half to to carry out an operation like this because they also have to find out where that you poaching guys whom are we selling the stuff too so it's very often powerful people who have be i didn't they then hire a local people have to carry out the poaching job been the killing of the animals ok and i less comes a responsibility of the government's what's other measures are deep woods named least to put an end to this see this various approaches in southern africa because it's not only a south african problem it's in the entire region you have these soft approaches like the black members that we have seen remember they don't carry weapons and then
6:38 pm
you have to like very hard to approach is like inboards one eye where they have a shoot to kill order if the anti-poaching units come across poachers there they're allowed to shoot and kill them right away they don't have to fear any court proceedings or anything like that afterwards but generally every country tries to find their own solution there is an international convention on the trade of dangerous species that includes rhino horn but also ivory and fish been an interesting discussion going on in the past yes because some of the countries like now maybe up for example complaining that they are not allowed to trade the ivorian also the right on because they are sitting on tons and tons of ivory and right on that they can ficek ated from operations from illegal trading and they don't want to burn them they actually would prefer to sell them because they argue that this was actually it would actually destroy the illegal market and their people would rather use those legal means to buy their own. i'm going to let you go now at the end because i can tell it's very windy i don't want you to be blown away so thank you very much for your insights.

quickly realized how small a side project could be profitable. also fantastic this is where we want it now makes more than a $1000.00 a month in a country where an average salary for some government workers is just around $80.00 sorry for that. what we prefer also in the market is that the the. product comes with its roots. therefore it has a much longer shelf life the customer can take the product home and put it the water and it will continue to live and to thrive. many plans to put drupal have production in the next few months she now also trains others and hope to spread the technique i crossed zimbabwe.
