well. we'll leave. when we have a new baby. we will often hang a hang a blanket and the baby will go into there thinking it's the shape of the mother

and put his hand up to suckle and i think it's it's the texture on the face and the fact that his it's soft and we're trying to replicate to a point the mother so that he'll put his head up that that instinct to put his head out so we can get the bottle to get him to. go to. being with us all two weeks to the day actually it was two weeks ago today that we rescued with hope and so we've crossed the ten day mark i mean here i've been very young very vulnerable and we didn't know it was going to be touch and go with them all and. deprived of their mothers baby elephants can't survive in the wild without help the world i'm like some other animals elephants won't really young that isn't. roxie

duncan's founded ascent of fall from donna mills to help them get back on their feet and prepare them to return to the wild. that's it. is so the elephants clean out their stables they feed the fence and then they let them out and they walk with them from the nursery. to the bush which is a three hundred take to pisa version bush that they've got to themselves just them and listen a few and to look so they come here in the morning they roam around freely together they feed they eat range of things leaves roots grass different things and they feed. drink water they also swim. in the mud just do things that elephants do

and they do it together as a herd so they come here every day and then when that study had was back to the nursery. we got a phone call to say that there was this very young elephant that had been orphaned and he is a victim of touching down in the south of the country and he was found dead in an area where there is. currently it's very very hot down there it's a very hostile environment to be a tough environment so we sent a plane and we collected him. once on the airplane usually depending on the situation of the car. we put up a drip and we administer a few other crew. goal compartments to making sure that the elephant survives the

full journey of their plane right this is usually anywhere between and how the hof to three hours. it can be it can be one of the most challenging things because you're in a small airplane you have a one hundred two hundred fifty you know elephants that is in the plane with you and the change in air pressure the bumps it can make it can make these journeys very difficult. so we got him pat and. put him on the formula that he was he and within realized that he's a very very young calf he has no teeth he doesn't know how to use his truncates he's coordination is not they it sigh estimates him to be i estimated to memorize or to be about three or four days old we use for limpopo we're using

a moat called it's twenty's it's not perfect but it works ok. i'll see him for the bones so this is actually. doc calcium phosphate and it's been specifically measured. so that we know exactly how much she needs every day so she gets two of these scripts every day. what we also add is some cannot milk unfortunately it's not fraîche but we don't have confidence in zimbabwe so we have to use the. the tens the to and want. and then we go. to find the baby.

by spending time about it i was and then we do want to show. the limpopo. is a literal one i'm sure. i'm going. to he's doing so will. these . young. it's a tough one. we are trying our best the first family moved to zimbabwe more than a hundred years ago for five generations they've tried to live in harmony with nature and keep it pristine for their descendants but it is damage that simple objective has become a real mission. where the wildlife sanctuary it's on it's been developed on the family farm

we've been on this sense this. is a commercial operation and there are about two and a half thousand people living on this property. we've been looking after animals led by my mother she has been doing the work on that for more than twenty years but the slightly different because they can be a lot easier and they have the same lifetime as an elephant but when she decided to take on this work of looking after the often elephants. we were very excited about it of course but also a little bit nervous because it's such a lifetime commitment and it's a huge responsibility and a massive weight on all of us old shoulders that so it was one of happiness because we saw much but also of nervousness of that lifetime commitment to looking after these animals which can live for sixty or seventy years.

i've been reproaches with their weapons are they still a problem in this. if a problem was it would be dreamed up or true as you discovered several friends yeah with the able to talk to me yes it. was that twenty short you know they have to be i thought ok just so they shoot the elephants training hunting rifles are going to get a great was out there that was when you got to the fifty farming coal plant yeah. our first rescue was a little elephant to morrow who was a victim of poaching and she was a tiny tiny little elephant and we didn't know very much about raising elephants at

that time so i had done a lot of research and a lot of reading about how to raise baby elephants not realizing quite how different they are to all the other a million species that i had raised before and i've raised a lot of animals before it really was a big shock and i literally lived that elephant for months and months and months and it was a combination of all of. the physical obviously of of a night but also her emotional needs were significant and i found that i was able to really. engage with her and empathize with her. and become a mom i needed to be her mother. you know i'll never i'll never forget that moment of seeing this little baby elephant run up to me lift up her trunk and it was it was a moment of recognition it was

a moment where we kind of realized the bag i realize the magnitude and the responsibility of the work that my mother was doing. while i was no nearly for nearly five years old and she is the strong healthy elephant. again i think that's what is really powerful about this project. because it's a legacy project these animals. they live to sixty seventy eighty years old my mom isn't going to be around to see these animals when they're in there with him in the hallway. this is the sun is up. and he's being with us for four years. and he had a broken back late. now. he is back left leg was broken and fused with him. but he can still walk ok. but you can see where it was.

and so he said it's a two and nine years old now so he's the oldest one in the school. the. young elephants have come to us. mess basically brutal poaching incidents because sadly the baby elephants often do see their mothers only be killed but also be cut up and orchard. and that's terrible i mean they carry that with them and sometimes we've had cases where very elephants have been rescued and brought to us and physically there's nothing wrong with them but they are just so heartbroken and and they just lose the will to love physically they can be healthy but if they've had too much trauma and they hold on to their trauma they can die they can literally die from abroad.

i do believe elephant smile i see it in these little ones they hold a show expression changes and this little mouse. they look up and i look at you like this and then the whole the whole expression changes and that's the ears evenly when they're smiling. i have no science. to truth that i can't console you sets of behavior when an elephant is happy particularly a baby they whole face lights up and it's just it's just it's so special to watch.

after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next about different clubs on one hand it is logical to sit in a home field where everything is familiar on the other. i wanted a new challenge and a fresh perspective i'm used to surprising people and i saw one on t.v. . i'm going to talk about football not be or else you can think i was going to go. by the way what is a punchline here. kind of financial survival john today was all about money laundering first to visit this campus into three different. oh good this is a good start well we have our three banks all set up here maybe something in your something in america something overseas in the cayman islands or do we know all

these banks are complicit in their tough talk or says we just have to give mccoll and say ok i'm ready to do some serious money laundering ok let's see how we did while we've got a look at a nice luxury watch for max and for stacy oh beautiful jewelry and how about. on luxury automobile again for a match you know what money laundering is highly illegal here for a bunch of guys record.

the. little infant behaved the way best was oh so. soon my children it's bad to say i'm. sure. the elephant will and i don't want to but it seems like. the most difficult parts of the job would be. to make a decision. which i don't do very often and i don't say b.

has become so compromised and is suffering that we have to make the decision to put that animal to sleep. i then have to be strong for the animal i have to be strong for my team i have to be strong for the family but i have my own pain and i can only. deal with my own pain privately. so this is a very big bull elephant may be thirty or forty years old walking along. in twenty seventeen october twelfth it. is just covered a bit of the way a painting. which we killed by so you need. indeed they say no it was a stool or. plastic bags. when the.

industry. was dropping some stuff from the you know part of the oranges in a part of the plastics so i think that diesel would be one which i tended to be using this point. to be a fitting area. in twenty seventeen china imposed on task every imports however the number of elephants being killed is not diminishing every year african customs service is

destroyed dozens of tonnes of ivory confiscated from poachers. and butchers were killed we. had one. was that we should have been from a cross bench but actually the. reports. and how many pieces of that they were there were. more divorce in each case than was. true. of the. body from fifty to fifty four fifty.

in this in this part of the country which is northwest in zimbabwe close to victoria falls we have leased a vast expanse of land called the panda mystery forest and the reason we have leased this piece of land is specifically for us to have an area where we can eventually release our elephants to be free and live a life of freedom in the wild. but we also wanted to make an impact on the wild elephant populations that are living there and have been persecuted in the past not only by coaching but by hunting as well we moved the elephants the first six elephants from the nursery near to. all the way up to here to panama city eighteen hour journey it was quite a quite a big one and quite complicated but it went very well and all of the elephants survived and very well. when we brought the elephants here from. the

truck came here. we offloaded them here not at the top because we were worried that . if the truck was going up the hill that it would get stuck we were worried about it getting stuck instead of that we we built this amp and this. so then the truck arrived and then we offloaded them and they walked themselves off into here and then they just spent one or two days here. while they were settling in and then after that one or two days reopen the gate and we walked them into that they've stayed since but we still use the sometimes if we need to keep them here the water so they come to drink in the day. all the way to consume a national park and then across to botswana so it's a very big area surrounded by

a protected area yeah that's what makes it so important for elephants is because it's right in the middle of a network of different protected areas so and it was not safe before from hunting and poaching so it was difficult for elephants to connect those areas now that it's safe and secure creates a much bigger area in terms of the small puzzle of areas this is the middle piece and the last piece which we've now secured that's very good for elephant spot for all other animals. is meant to be. a logo so i can go. you know so i can go right good go right. good go. go. go. and this is better not problem. that's got. the they're growing bigger these in.

and they've said to say it's all been extremely nicely so they have adapted to the new food in your environment they're starting to interact and communicate with the other wild elephants we now are allowing them to go further and further away from the bombers but it is a slow process and we are taking it very slowly and carefully because they are such big and complex animals so this work is about the protection of land for these rescued elephants first and foremost but there is a lot of benefits for the wild elephants that live on that land and move through that land which they can do now safely and freely. this is. safe within the fence and the elephants are sleeping inside and the night and then over here where we are now it's outside in the wild area and that's

where there's all kinds of wild wild animals elephants lions buffalo but the whole that's the safe. side yes the wild area. that's where the wild elephants can come out and then they can meet with these elephants in the night here we've taken some of the dung of the elephants of the big adult female elephant and we've put it outside the fenced area and the reason for us doing that is when. the wild elephants are coming around del smell that and they'll smell a female elephant and they can tell and then they will be more interested to interact with these elephants and it's very important for these elephants that interacting with wild elephants so that one day when they're in the bush they've got their friends who are in the bush. understand the laws of the wild so that's why we're doing that is for the wild elephants to get to know these elephants more

and more. with. elephants are an important symbol in the culture and the heritage of our country and it was one of the inspirations for why my mom started the zimbabwe elephant mystery. it was a opportunity to tell a conservation story that often isn't told something that is so that is positive that has that has far reaching implications and i think for myself as a zimbabwean it's really powerful to see how a project. how far a project can reach and this is

a symbol for a positive conservation story and it's about. elephants in zimbabwe are looked upon as a commodity at this point and that is a culture that i would like to try and change and i would like more people to try and understand within zimbabwe how the animals. think that they seem to and they they just say majesty and that is one of the reasons why we have this necessity is to try and impart that sense of wonder. as ivory. yeah when the elephants leave us they'll be very mixed. emotions of course we we have cared for these elephants for nearly five years now and we care about them but at the same time our

mission has always for them being for them to go back to the wild and so it will be mixed emotions for sure we will be very happy when they are living wild and free with their wild competitors in the bush but we'll miss them of course i can't lie that i would miss them you know we will miss them of course but most of all we'll be happy for them that they are free in the wild. you know world's big partners through law and conspiracy it's time to wake up

to be deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. china has arrived in europe in a very big way and not everyone in the west welcomes this italy's support of china's belgian road initiative is a game changer the washington consensus that has dominated the world for the past seven decades is being challenged but turned to the east continues. now and there was a crack seems to do crack when i was a little kid my dad he was like. us at the so you know i got like what i

needed when i was a baby but i had a bad childhood. there's always single mothers in african-american communities ever since same three. i think it's more of these teenagers having kids. you can expect a fourteen or fifteen year old first daughter now order for and there are far there any check out. lost their place on sunday let me get my paycheck that i bring home i have nearly enough to pay my car insurance. gas my car. u.k. prime minister begs europe for yet another delay to bragg's at this time until the end of june but it seems some e.u. member.
