actually it was two weeks ago today that we rescued me and so we crossed the ten day mark i mean he arrived very young very vulnerable and we didn't know it was. deprived of their mothers' baby elephants can survive in the wild without help or unlike some other animals elephants won't really young that isn't. get back on their feet and prepare them to return to the wild. to figure out a way to go to. this. is so they elephants they start off the day when the sun rises in the morning the handlers come they clean out the 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 piece a virgin bush that they've got to themselves just then the handlers and a few antelope 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 here 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 it starts getting dark at about four or five o'clock they'll start walking together with a handlers back to the nursery. old we got a phone call to say that and he is a victim of touching down in the suffolk the country. he was found

a learn but in an area where they is. going on 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 critical components to making sure that the elephant survives the full journey of the. playground this is usually anywhere between and how the hof just 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 that the plane with you and the change in air pressure at the pumps it can make it can make these journeys very difficult.

so we got him and. put him on the for me that he was he and we then realize that he's a very very young calf he has no teeth he doesn't know how to use his truncates he's co-ordination is not they it is to make him to be i estimated him under arrival to be about three or four days old we use for limpopo we're using a moco is twenty six gold this is a human formula and we found that this formula. it's not perfect but it works ok. this is calcium. elephants need a huge amount of calcium for their bones so this is actually. dark 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 skips it read a. what we also add is some. coconut milk unfortunately it's not fraîche but we don't have coconuts in zimbabwe so we have to use the. the turned the turned one. i mean we go. to find the baby. the one awake during mate with the new ball by spending time about it hours and then we do the dishes but. i think he's doing so well it is hard to work with these new. young. elephants. toughly.

we are trying our best to drink 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 in this damage that simple objective has become a real mission. it's on it's been developed on the family farm i'm a fourth generation zimbabwean my family moved four generations ago and we've been on this ever since 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 a slightly different because they can. 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 our soul shoulders that 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. so they still the problem in this. is a problem it was his will be dreamed up across years we discovered several friends

yeah with the. with yes it shows that sense painting hunting rifles with very getting very close. when you're going to be able to use excess to pull off big excess and they cut the face of the fifty forming. yeah it. 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 mammalian 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. 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 elephants 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 realized the magnitude and the responsibility of the work that my mother was doing and why i was no nearly for nearly five years old and she is a strong healthy elephant. by day and 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. to float so the sun is up. and he's been with us for a while. and he had a broken back late. now. we see his back left leg was broken and fused at the hip. but he can still walk ok. but you can see where it was. and said he said it's a two a nine years old mouth so he's the oldest one in this group and this is boyle she is not nearly five years all. the. young elephants have come to us. yes specially 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. be elephants have been rescued and brought to us and physically there's nothing of the world to love physically they can be healthy but if they've had too much trauma and. i see it in these little ones they hold they show expression changes and this little mouse. they look up and i look at you like this and that the whole the whole expression changes and that's the ears even when they're smiling. i have no science. to prove that i can't and i can say yes elephants model they dance. for me with my observations of behavior when an elephant is happy

particularly a baby they whole face lights up and it's just it's just a special to watch. china has arrived in europe in a very big way and not everyone in the west welcomes this italy's support of china's belden road initiative is a game changer the washington consensus that has dominated the world for the past seven decades is being challenged to turn to the east continues.

in the world of political much making the european union has long values before wealth as its most desirable and tribute. to the time it takes for the e.u. to make a policy decision china can set up a whole new industry. to potential. i .

you. know we've got this little infant i would be happy why best bozo's. since my children it's bad to say i'm. sure there would be any elephant or that 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 know i don't do very often and i don't take this decision lightly of when to say enough is enough when a baby 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 teen 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. seventeenth. we discovered that in a way. which we killed by saying it. indeed they say no it was two or . plastic bags. when the. industry. was dropping some moisture from the part of the oranges which waned in a part of the plastics so i think that these were all the one which tended to be using this. from a far distance in the old they were also coming from the what a 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 across the bench trying to be now. reports.

and how many pieces of that they were. from or divorce in each person was. a 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 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. we had we we offloaded them here not at the top because we 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 main where 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 and it was not safe before from hunting and poaching so it was difficult for elephants to connect does 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 elephants but for all other animals. it's meant to be.

hello go go. you know so i can go right good go right good go. go. go. and this is better no problem now i. 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 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. 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 the night and then over here where we are now is 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 so that's where the wild elephants can come out and then they can meet with these elephants in the night 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 they'll 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. 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 it within zimbabwe how the animals. think that they say. 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

amongst people in zimbabwe that they're not looked on just as meat or 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 been for them to go back to the wild and so it will be mixed emotions for sure. with i won't miss them you know we will miss them of course but most of all we'll be happy for them that they offer free in the wild.

i mean more doogan is an outstanding person because he took on the most powerful agency in this county for you to state if you look at it from the analogy. marc was the day that when he was. going to be in the sheriff's most contentious critically is the first time i noticed something wasn't in fleece work pretty much when i first started the corruption in palm beach county is not something that you can smell if. it's. a wing it wasn't what i wanted to do you. have more shootings in this county

then some states have had collectively drug and went to his website began featuring . just family the sheriff mike carona squash you like a bug you know we should stop then you should stay on the left and stuff i believe what i'm doing ok you know it's your funeral. critic in this house. i snuck out of the united states. into russia. political. men they know. that. if you don't buy into my ponzi scheme on going to shoot my god. even though the game was well known to be a ponzi scheme the state investigated at least twice. before they found the boss of them and they it was a well known ponzi scheme invested by well known people massive bernie had an army

now apply that to the u.s. dollar the u.s. dollar is a ponzi scheme why do people want the u.s. dollar because if they don't the u.s. military sets and they're obliterated whether it's iraq or libya or some other place like this around and so that's what we're going to set up the new york times rightly so the u.s. dollar is worthless it's backed by a lot. more than was. seized to do crap when i was looking around like what i needed when i was a baby boy i had a bad childhood. there's always playing single mothers and african american community service and slavery. i think it's more of these teenagers having kids and you can expect a fourteen or fifteen year old first daughter now order for him if you're farther and he said check out. we actually lost our place and.
