12:18 am
touches before she starts work no money doing good making in a cool new cultural which i think you have to still be. yeah yeah truth is i didn't work. for luke suppose. so you know you later lived with the rest of the black mamba crew in the camp and the game where you there almost 30 of them after their morning routine she joins us maul group patrolling the park fence. 12 kilometer trek on foot and they're not alone here. was it anyone on here. that looks like a bozo no one i mean you have to be. so you did this get us will just say kruger national park and the private game reserve she had a boarder here the animals moved freely between the 2 areas of the game reserve 60

as fans. poachers are constantly trying to force their way in there after writing the last small too often they sexy. funding for the next generation i love my kids to know they're saying it so if we didn't use all the right has been next generation they will never know and are a news that we just see peaches but they will never get to see. the black mambazo 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 women are the best. because. caring.
12:20 am
just says even in comes the most dangerous part of their work begins for most poachers night follows the beginning of the workday the black mambazo make sure their presence is known every night. one time later cross paths with soldiers. they stop at a 10 meter was almost they were looking at it also getting a bit and then i told them they did that to me too right. and it was so scary in such cases call the pox poaching rangers. tonight as calm interrupted only by sighting of them powerless and hippopotamus. i mean. then suddenly their truck dies just as it's passing the hippos. that missing so
12:21 am
maybe time to song how come some of the bass because it's quite challenging because we're in the blues does beat my analogy because anytime b.b. wants to yeah but. to start. success the truck comes back to life the black mamba keep going until 11 pm then sleep till 6 when they become the parks ice and. joining me now from south africa is our correspondent. worked on reports we just saw in science to see you looking good so let's get straight to it so why do people there ryan lose so important that they would risk their lives protecting them. i mean obviously the people in the region have seen what happened in the past years
12:22 am
and decades that the numbers of rhinos just went down and down and behind it is of course also an economic interest because as you know the region around kruger national park really have believe depends on tourism thousands of tourists coming from around the world to see the wildlife of south africa to see the rhinos in particular so everybody there has a particular interest for the rhinos to be there as well so that was come and they of course bring money into the country and that creates jobs so give us an idea how critical is the pollution problem that. is very critical so in the past years there's an average of $1000.00 ryan those that have been poached per year the number has been going down a little bit in the last year which is a positive sign but not yet a sign that gives reason for hope it doesn't really show that everything is changing now it's just improving slightly and i mentioned it already the economic aspect and this is also the reason why people are actually getting into poaching the unemployment rate is extremely high in south africa especially amongst young
12:23 am
people and there's not so many opportunities there so this makes it of course easier for those people who are into poaching gets young guys doing a job for a few $100.00 or euros and then they're into it but it's also not only like the small unemployed guys who are doing that and trying to take a chance i talk to several people who are actually saying in many cases it's very wealthy business people behind the whole business and half the funds to have to carry out an operation like this because they also have to find out where that approaching guys whom are we selling the stuff to so it's very often powerful people who are behind it and they then hire local people to carry out the poaching job and the killing of the animals ok let's come to the responsibility of the government what other measures they put in place to put an end to this. see this various approaches in southern africa because it's not only 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 you have like
12:24 am
very hard approaches like inboards one eye where they have a shoot to kill order if the anti-poaching units come across poachers there they 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 off 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 are 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 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.

growing vegetables where there's no water or soil it's not magic and science all specifically called on it that's the technique of one pharma now called this method be to solution for many people in south africa who are facing the worst strout in more than a century failing some 45000000 people i need food aid. is a full time accountant in her body watson has spent time she has built a successful business using hydroponics. she had a passion for farming but no access to water on land to farm on but that didn't hold back in this year. a few years ago she did some research on the internet and for $900.00 bought a hi pontiacs system from south africa. this is still
12:26 am
uses no soil and hardly any water but still enables the plants to draw in just enough nutrients to florrie. i don't dare forte so i have good bye of course federal ponies and said the. name to piss the. howrah faces chronic water shortage is because of aging pipes and also because of shortage of dollars to important water treatment chemicals with hydroponics the water is reduced several times and because there's no soil involved no pesticides the needed we had really had reporting finding your crop growth heads with winds about 30 could replace things into 10 to us this leaves in a shorter period than when you had a self i mean when you have plumbing in the soil so i had reporting funding so i might see if they said no when days the water always no rain.

minissha quickly realized her small 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 if the product comes with its roots on therefore it has a much longer shelf life the customer can take the product home and put it in 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 across symbolic way.
