oddly trying to watch all of them come straight from the heart to its former c.e.o. david horner in the morning delusional. interests come. from the 1st glimpse of the long road to their final resting place the russians on g.w. documentary. evidence that the. helicopter chases elephants there are too many here in song goes a bobber. they destroy the vegetation. 100 elephants have to go. he's been a committed conservationist for many many years and what we've created here in song of his finances to a large extent from the income from sustainable hunting yok says that means trophy hunting doesn't have to be this way either no other options than we have to use

hunting as a means to save the animals here on our territory when we have failed. the protecting animals from poachers of expensive how can this be financed in a place without much tourism and where should these be racist giants go. what needs to be done so that they can live in safety over the long term. meaning. some go as a private game reserve in zimbabwe. it extends over an area of 600 square kilometers . which its owner is between poshest a german merchant has created a minor paradise here in the middle of the african wilderness.

pops a passion for wildlife was sparked in 1965 when he went on his 1st photo safari in africa. it was. fascinated by elephants but if you look at them and you see how families work together how they play with each other there's almost something human about it and you know we were out yesterday and looked at the wild dogs it was like a kindergarten are they really so different from us i mean there's a closeness there's an appreciation or there's a love if you will in these species speed seems. to pop spot sango in 1903 and it's located in the se valley conservancy

a vast nature reserve bigger than luxemburg. and at that time there were only bankrupt cattle farms here there were no elephants rhinos for lines. to cops and his neighbors resettled the 1st elephants almost $600.00 of them us along with other species survives the 4 according to pops own estimates operating song will cost around $1000000.00 euros a year. and around 60 percent is financed through what he calls sustainable use. in other words trophy hunting. big game hunters. arrive and shoot an animal so that they can hang its head with horns or tusks on the wall. because of the trophy hunting on his land popstars made enemies. but is that rightly so. the myth is that hunting destroys the entire animal world. takes out

a very few animals. for example if we have $100.00 leopards and we shoot maybe 4 of them a year yes but we have a rate of offspring that is probably somewhere around 10 bites then this is still sustainable. so there will be no leopard population destroyed anywhere they will both at least it's. a leopard and lion hunt is taking place as we make our documentary but we're not allowed to film. fear of the effect the pictures could have is too great. and. sustainable hunting needs reliable numbers only those who know how many animals that are all can decide how many can be shot without endangering the overall population. account as undertaken every year in song go on the ground and from the air. a special leopard count is currently under way to do this you call just alexander cooper has placed bacon

almost 140 places. basically as you can see we position a base of the top of the tree and then we have a leading oh and this forces the cat to answer up the tree to the back and then we have a camera position so we can take right hand side pictures of each one and they have unique fingerprint i.d.'s on the sides so we individually identify each individual . pops' seeks the advice of an ecologist to determine whether there are enough or too many of a specific species. while individual animals are killed by trophy hunters the income generated from the hunts is used to protect the remaining animals you know. the struggle against poachers is particularly expensive pops employs $44.00 rangers to protect animals. there are also elite troops that he

supports they specialize in endangered species such as rhinos. the troops are armed with heavy weapons. the rangers call it a war they've committed their lives to protecting animals rights clements lead the team. he refuses to hunt for trophies because he says people don't often hunt ethically. some areas have been badly badly hemant in the past other parts of the country certain areas are being over. areas where it's not ethical and basically they're all over quarter they'll shoot more than what they should sometimes and or so picking the biggest trophies that kind of thing so what you end up finding is population in general guys down. trophy hunting can do great harm to an animal population but it can also be beneficial carried out

responsibly as is the case with pops. under these conditions even the world wide fund for nature supports trophy hunting. the organization's policy manager says what many animal rights activists don't want to hear. we do recognize that in certain let limited circumstances it can be part of the conservation armory if you will of one conservation tool but in the majority of circumstances it's not sustainable there are many problems associated with it but this isn't outright opposition in the sense that if we do acknowledge that there are certain places where it has proven to be a useful conservation tool but those tend to be the exception rather than the rule it's. trophies for animal welfare for many people that simply feels wrong. but what would be the alternative here in song. in bob noyce in

a serious crisis and most of the time there's not even electricity. in photo tourism work here. unfortunately it's very difficult to bring tourists here we have to think about how to do it we fly from abroad to the capital harare and it takes about 6 hours by car to get here the deepest bushing then the question arises is gasoline available mostly it's not do they have cash after all you have to be able to buy something on the go and that's usually not the case either so it's very very difficult to actually get to this faraway wilderness the dreamland of africa as a tourist. center pops sango has developed from a rundown cattle farm to a wildlife paradise. the numbers of nearly all species are increasing especially. the 1st

600 grown to more than 2000. this has led to conflicts with the neighbors. to the same valley conservation area surrounded by villages thousands of people live in them and their number is growing . their own mondo farms 2 hectares of land next to sango his harvest don't amount to much. the end of things comes from sam will convince you to shop in my tent did it come with you to our fields and to destroy our plant it's indifferently. he could talk. destroy our kids will. boulders a fence around the gamers or parts of it are frequently stolen this leads to constant conflicts between the humans and the animals no. one

under has built a hut on his field to protect us harvest. we come. to flippy. he will protect your crops but nothing was with. you for drama. you know. but not to go our way they just that owned the moving i don't do moving around it will be i've always. i'm going too much it will come in the fall. but the elephants don't just destroy the fields of the neighboring farmers. they also destroy their own habitat.

as you can see big elephant 4567 tons brought down this tree just snapped. this is not the main problem because the elephant can now beat on the crown and small antelopes and leap eaters live off of it that makes sense problem is the tree is dead and we've now lost a 3rd of this type of forest one that's destroyed change not only for the elephants but also for the other leaf eater of all for the under the oppressor. the extent of the damage is a men's. even the giant they are about trees aren't safe. as a rule of thumb 0.4 elephants per square kilometer is considered acceptable to ensure vegetation can regenerate. pop has considerably more elephants than that he has to culver otherwise they will destroy their own haven't or. has been granted permission to kill 100 elephants. whole families are said to be

slaughtered. is it still possible to rescue them. refocused 800 square kilometers of land to the north of zimbabwe directly on the n.b.c. river. german businessmen the 5 course father is leasing and he's a passionate animal rights activist. part of the income from his i.t. company goes into the protection of wild animals made that decision with photos of on. a few young after many years on safari as a normal tourist i was in south africa sitting with a ranger in the evening with him and i asked him what his biggest problem was he was a big tough guy but he said to me in tears that he had lost his friends the elephants and rhinos who were being slaughtered like flies and right then it was clear to me that i could do something about it i could help the animals with hammers box backing we could make

a difference don it was. just fun to found at the vinyl force a paramilitary protection force for while. it's active in south africa and zimbabwe . and calls for a learned that $100.00 elephants were to be killed he had a spectacular idea. the elephants should be moved. from one of a kind rescue operation began to. creep elephants were trying to hide from the air crew. it's a dangerous maneuver. veterinarians and helpers on the ground must be as close as possible to the elephants when they're trying to once there's a risk that individual animals for the entire herd will attack their helpers

crew the. moment the elephants fall every 2nd counts. if they fall in properly and their trunk is blocked they can suffocate. this elephant has difficulty breathing its weight is pressing on its own longs. the helpers have to do something. it's important to cops that he doesn't have to kill the elephants. it's an emotional highpoint i really can't describe this good media. it makes me well up it says it's highly emotional. relocating these animals and seeing how they multiply at the other end repopulating a wildlife park that's been depopulated by poachers is the dream of every

conservationist in the georgia. but 1st the heavyweights need to be lifted on to the transporters. it's a critical moment. every move has to be just right. i wish it as an additional source of stress for the elephants helpers crew of them with water i. i. i from here are brought to a specially built pad placed on a large truck. thanks . in the pen the elephants are given

a stimulant and wake up. this means they can run into the big truck themselves. this transport consists of a group of 9 animals. the journey to a new home begins. the one of force transports the packagers. after 24 hours in the truck they have a 1st breath of freedom. the makeshift enclosure is meant to be a place for them to rest. p. clements is the head of the rhino force here and refine his rangers protect the animals from poachers. when we happen to go just on watching godfrey

it can change show. give me a sense of responsibility that i have a moral responsibility to a cost to them when i see them godfrey it makes me stream be happy. then comes the big moment the elephants are released. the new like awaits them. there's a lot of room for the great giants here. the animal population is low hunters and poachers have been taking their toll for decades. in

reef and you can see what happens if there is no sustainable hunting. clement says the commercial hunting started here in the 1980 s. it started with some ethics i mean people were sure to bring things by the book and but that also a trench down to trying squad to repartee and unfortunately both parties hunting parties and at that time individuals not not the entire department but into biggles . hunters were persuading them to sell them extra animals and that kind of thing kristie overshooting the quote i gave their cartouche. the schools of slaughter elephants told the tale. it was a lucrative business. corrupt employees of the national park authority on ethical hunters made good money while the animal population was devastated.

chris just hunter off to hunt talk to hunter people getting their licenses to get on to it and that's when i really got stuck in and i'm actually just escalated to what we have today almost some areas absolutely totally and absolutely shock of. course one of these the territory he wanted to ban hunting but was met with resistance from the national park before and. it earns money from every animal that it allows to be shot quite legally. the money from the hunting licenses is an important source of income for the authority. this means that if there is no hunting and refund the authority loses money does have to know it's not the head of the national park authority told me very clearly that in the end we can do anything as long as he has the same income that he would have if there had been hunting in this territory here. that's the only way is to compensate for this in other words

we pay for animals that we don't hunt and we have the national park authority on our side of things was i to. since january 28th hunting has been strictly prohibited and we fought. the right to force patrols the area in the air from boats and on the ground. the rangers not only protect grief but also the surrounding area . it's an area of around 10000 square kilometers. because forest says the effort cost more than $1000000.00 euros a year. he says when the rhino 4 started working 28000 it turned out that the rangers from the national park authority were also poaching . the reason for this was the drastic economic situation in zimbabwe. the rangers had not been paid for months and. then shift some of these are their bosses then said go out and you can get your share you chase the animals you need to feed

your families which is understandable when lives were at stake and since the national park rangers then got used to it realized that they might be able to sell some things and so we got to the situation where the national park authority was the biggest poachers so to speak. how big is the risk that individual rangers or the state itself will poached the animal population. according to the u.s. the more difficult the economic situation and the greater the corruption. the greater the risk. that's quite tempting to some countries especially where the rule of law is weak and where you work governments might be weak to milk the resource for the short term and that's in our experience the most common. failing of trophy hunting

and the reason why most trophy hunts are criteria. the possibility that hunting can be abused is among the reasons why course for a completely abolished it in return. but he has gone one step further he's trying to convince his neighbors to like car finder. he ran a hunting lodge for 30 years and worked as a hunter rector looking after big game hunters. find out heat ensure their safety and lead them to the hunting grounds. he knows the dark side of the business and how much pressure both the owners of a wildlife area and the national park authority can exert. both sides and money from each trophy. sometimes you have a concession which is which is not being run. correctly and. they would be

an operator that requires as much resources as possible to come out of a hunting and he would put pressure on the park sometimes i would push an operator they would then put pressure on the on the provision to deliver and in a situation like this you would have a lot more and it's a cool situations we big cat from a pride of lions a beef would be short. here trophy hunters also put pressure on the. liver paste tens of thousands of euros for a hunt does not want to go home without a trophy. whether the hunt is ethical and sustainable in such a situation depends on the determination of the director. and. pundit he just put down his guns he switched hunting launched a photo tourism. it's not easy because hunters take considerably more than photo tourists. but

a small concession like ours the thought of having 5 or 10 hunting groups now you have to have 5 or 10 people per day coming through your concision to in order to give back the same revenue stream so it's a lot more pressure on an operation to you to be able to change the financial stream from hunting to not hunting. shooting pictures instead of wildlife. in this model worked here in crisis ridden zimbabwe. the beginning was financially difficult funda he sense now things are slowly going uphill. he says the region has a lot to offer photo tourists. since rhino force began to protect animals from poachers the stocks have been recovering. only a few people live in the protected area and yet there are already conflicts. that

you don't know is located on the outskirts of reef run 4000 people live here. alongside the wild animals. monkeys come here attracted by leftover food and sources of water. but so do elephants. again and again there are clashes between humans and animals. sometimes they're fatal. there's another problem the elephants the plastic waste individual animals have already died their stomachs for plastic and. that's why of course farai started another project 12 women most of them unemployed single parents collect trash they get vouchers for food and cosmetics. it's a tough call if it but if one does when he's saving just enough food for us so

we'll see that see before we get into d.c. it wasn't much use for us i think this image of the squid for us is good for if we want support for us or safety it's good for how often least. humans and elephants benefit from the garbage project but in the long term the conflict between humans and animals will intensify here because the number of elephants will increase as will the number of humans. the living space is becoming more cramped for both and not only in zimbabwe. because the population africa is exploding the pressure on the wild areas is increasing. the fight for resources has already started. how can him and wildlife exist side by side when there's less and less room for them. visually it pops in high schools far more huge sums of money into the protection and operation of the wildlife areas every year. we have or without

a trophy hunt the bottom line is that both are in the red. they do it because they care about africa's wildlife. but who protects animals when there is no rich donor . his father and pops to see only one solution lancaster's to give big story in the long run the only way is through the people who live here through the communities that need to gain something from the animals to give us. why should i protect something that means nothing to me and from which i draw no benefit. benefits can mean workplace food prospects for the future but these have to be created otherwise it will be impossible to solve this problem locus just too much from then on to move it and to far wild animals are of no value to the local population they will not protect their fruits and imagine that the poachers arrive through the villages however if the villagers are already very much aware of the value of these animals and the poachers will not find

a home there and this means that the value of the animals is fundamental to the survival of nature conservation. the income from photo tourism creates this value. but not every area is suitable for this. even if pictures like beats regularly because outrange trophy hunting can be an effective means to promote animal welfare . but the risks of abuse are huge. what is the value elephants rhinos and lions have for humans and not just as an ideal. the animals will only have a chance of long term survival if humans can recognise their true value.
