5:30 pm
touch me and caress me and make sounds as if i will have maza elephant cubs memorize your voice and you will smile. they never suggest it's even 10 years later at the my them yeah cool. oh, it's a so would chavo still recognize they owe me. she was released back into the wild 4 years ago. 2 2 when new comers arrived there, traumatized by the loss of their mothers, they're in shock, and there's sometimes wounded and vulnerable. the team works to create a safe environment to ensure the young elephants don't give up and die. isaiah or low? no danger has a degree in veterinary medicine from the university of cy robi. he's in charge of rescues and 1st aid. he works closely with san diego zoo wildlife alliance in the
5:31 pm
united states, and invaluable partnership that provides expertise and infrastructure. he's sadly has to rescue about one animal a month. the poaching and trafficking have thankfully decreased here in recent years, but accidents around watering holes, severe drought, and the natural depths of their mothers, all threatened these vulnerable creatures. the 6 month old lo, patrick was found abandoned and severely dehydrated, he's very survival hangs in the balance. the
5:32 pm
2 is also the pauline has constantly experimented since she joined 6 years ago. she tried a new approach to feeding the cabs after just a few years. that's out that my dad and visit me. sarah, was the 1st elephant costs to be given fresh. goldsmith was set up and when we took
5:33 pm
korean, sarah wasn't, well, she had no, was frank. some was always lying down 12 hours off to giving her this meal. she was strongly getting, but she stopped having diarrhea and stops losing weight, but we only use good smoke. now. we go through 600 leases a day. phase 2. when you know of the century feeds ellison costs this way, where the only century, using goats middle ground loses the milk is available near the sanctuary. and it's become a godsend for rescued baby ever since the
5:34 pm
falling naomi and their co workers meet with local farmers every morning to bike goats milk, the selling their milk to the sanctuary, opens up new opportunities for the women of assemble root community. the. my name's you know, and the gina is that awesome? i have so she goes into the volume monday. you know what? here where we live, we don't oh no. who met? and the, when my husband was nice, it's my children and i who took off to the guys and maggie, you will not. i'm at the level and getting and i. 2 on
5:35 pm
the miss miller, when my husband used to say, like i said, he wouldn't shed the money with me what but now things are different because we have all right. milk milk is mine because i'm the one who's selling it another the many of them get the best. yeah. and i buy and money and can do it to shopping. now i can buy clothes for my children and myself. he gets to america allows me to and i live in connecticut. it really helps me remember that if i did it so now that my nose, my motto, works 3 hours every day to reach the meeting place. many of the other women also spend several hours carrying their goats smoke to the marketplace. does that look?
5:36 pm
no, ma'am? well, you didn't move. we called the milk moments ago on the car because it's the women who knew the go smith and they bring the milk and the money out to is to our collection vehicle and we pay them now and i let them back up on my to get you to cool now, but the thing that me how at the bed doesn't do that tonight. we don't give money to the man, but this only to the women, not so that's why we called them new moment when i get into the middle of a sudden just and as a food stamp. nickel from the milk mom was good about $1.00 euros for each of the 10 leaders. they show every day the money is paid into the women's own bank accounts, giving them a new source of independence. the
5:37 pm
the quality is closely monitored because of its role in the cab survival. coming into computer, i'm gonna come up, let's see, is it a center? it does apply to send over. even if you boil bad milk, you can still cause diarrhea or in an elephant cough. so when a cough has diarrhea, it's very difficult for it to recover. that's why we checked the mill taste and smell po. it's the best way to verify that it's good quality, but the, the, the 10 i'm a do the milk quality also depends on the temperature that day. so if it's very hot, the milk 10 saw by 11 o'clock in the morning and the milks temperature can region 35 degrees celsius. so more that, that, that the phase and the,
5:38 pm
the colleen and they only need to pass dry's the goat smoke at the sanctuary. but time is not on their side, it's an hours drive and they can't just go faster because then the milk would get chicken up too much the. but pauline's new formula is a clever invention. one that both cuts the sanctuaries, annual cost and eliminates the need to import can develop from abroad. the . we have a loss of note today. when
5:39 pm
the heat becomes oppressive, it in the wilds, mothers sheltered their young with their bodies and takes them to watering colors. they only in pauline fulfill that rule that the sanctuary keeping their charges cool to prevent sunstroke and teaching them to stay hydrated. the hello continue to as high as the there's always something to do and it's always challenging for them. but one of my regular g cheese is to accompany the edison so my travels, like when i followed the mouse in the bush, i sometimes stay close to that other times i move further away west angle as they get older, we gradually go all separate ways. so it becomes more natural for them to avoid human contacts, how we met them. the keepers, reassuring presence and supervision helps the cabs become more independent.
5:40 pm
essentially, if these elephants are ever to be successfully released back into the wild causal uniform, you know, it's important that i, when my unit for mental times, you know, especially when i'm near the elephant, who i think is they can more easily recognize us. oh and a woman who is in that uniform it name is what i prefer. you hold on my own and i mostly proud and happy to wherever it we way uniforms. like the men come and it shows that we work together and the way it equals many school, because so away from the main enclosure surrounded by thorn bushes. another enclosure is for older elephants between 4 and 7 years of age. but it doesn't be a modem. quoted there, i don't want to do no more in
5:41 pm
the gym or is that 6 pm visa friends can hold the bottle and drink the milk on their own. the we and i told him, what did you his name is embodied to be a. he was taking in and because he was found alone without his family. and he was one months old. now he's on full years old and kind of incredible comes to him. he's almost ready to go back to the wilds. he's a big teenage and now and i did it with the foods that were trying to reduce the amount of milk and make it less weight then it was at the start of his is so he understands that it's time to stop necessarily cutting. yeah. quite diluting it gradually, if he wants to drink the milk as much increase, they lose it pretty much could be that says if his mother were winning him stumble . and as i say,
5:42 pm
i said us who does the american national level regional long google load. ok. jack, the names are all inspired by the places where they were rescued. naomi and the other keepers are preparing the bigger elephants for their release back into the wild. a long term project that can take more than 5 years. the the sanctuary is located in the heart of the bush and many dangers lurk in the shadows beyond its confines. jerry seems like when he is one of the fraternities 8 rangers who patrol the sanctuary at night. who knows, i just want to get a mighty kid i might be stopped at around 6 pm and may call rounds until 6. i am,
5:43 pm
as we check to see if any of us in semester or if any other animals have approach to century or num wasn't getting the human geo and m o g. and keep them a t below, coolie. patiently to the grounds together. ensuring the cab safety, the what is it more than we keep an eye on them because the animals we protect and that are our most precious resources we watch out for predators like that's what we do. it is good in the inter mall, out in the bush, and there are lots of hyenas, leopards, trim lions on these animals pose. a real threat this or the
5:44 pm
some of their mainly looking for water up open. i'm like cutting, they're drawn to the water here. pleasure. one of the out of coming they can smell it from a far family. it's an echo and before it updates the water we give to our elephant cabs and we took care of it with droughts, increasing and frequency and intensity. many watering holes are drying up the sanctuary supplied regularly by tanker trucks, making it a target for predators. the but every one is now rallying to save the defense. having realized the importance of the largest land animals the,
5:45 pm
the, the, the, the, the okay, thanks joe. learned tutors, off until isaiah and the rangers, who accompany him on rescues about troubled elephant. elephant calf is apparently stuck in a watering hole. go somewhere somewhere near you a couple by the cooler. and we've been told that the calf doesn't have any strength left to become a direct. i'm a vet and i've come to evaluate the situation and provide the elephant with water and glucose to help it regain its strength. when i go down, well then we'll try to find the mother and re unite the pair. the mama initial it was stuck there. there is water here again for the mother couldn't be free her calf. anybody was hovering around, but now she's left in the caps, family, elephants who use their tusks to dig for water,
5:46 pm
but that can get them into trouble. we were in the assembly region, the sandy soil becomes very loose during the dry season right now. much then back on uh when that heavy animal like an elephant comes along its weight and stomping what can cause it to st. louis to me, i'm even the smallest ones over time, because there's water in the sub soil in the sand. it turns into quick sand and then they'll can be elephant caps can get stuck on a former co pay on chunk. let's go this way. the
5:47 pm

5:48 pm
know for they have found that somebody would need the media and i was able to make sure the calf wasn't heard, which is reassuring mobile incidents like this are bound to happen again and again with the as the environment and the climate change development clement, the course of what we are you associated with adding water remains a challenge for everyone. animals and human. so like the quest for it increasingly leads to accidents all ended well this time the elephant calf was healthy and was reunited with his mother the after their 3 weeks at the sanctuary. naomi and pauline returned home to spend a week with their families. the
5:49 pm
