well. when we have a new baby. we will often 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 the texture on the face and the fact that it's soft and we're trying to replicate to a point the mother put his hand on 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. and live . 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. found at a center for orphan dynamos to help them get back on their feet and prepare them to return to the wild.

if you are going to do. this. it. is so the elephants start off the day when the sun rises early in the morning the handlers come they clean out their stables they feed the elephants 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 virgin bush that they have got to themselves just them 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 they handlers back to the nursery. we got a phone call to say that there was this very young elephant that it been orphaned and he is a victim of pitching down in the south of the country and he was found but in an area where there is a. current 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 earth and played right this is usually anywhere between and how the hof to realises. it can be that to be one of the most challenging things because you're in a small airplane you have a hundred to one 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 half and. put him on the formula 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 coordination is not they it sigh estimates him to be i estimated to memorize or to be about three or four days old we used for limpopo we're using

a moat called 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 the bones so this is actually. die 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 every day. what we also add is some. cannot milk unfortunately it's not fraîche but we don't have coconuts in zimbabwe so we have to use the. the ten and the ten and want. and then we go. to find the baby.

joining mate with a new book by spin to tell me about it and then we do. read the limpopo. is a little one i'm sure about the one who will do i'm going to. be he's doing so will . these. young. elephants. it's a tough one. we're 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 it is damage that simple objective has become a real mission. where

the wildlife sanctuary it's on it's been developed on a 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 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 us old shoulders that it was one of happiness. but also of nervousness of that lifetime commitment to looking after these animals which can live for sixty or seventy years. i very purchased with the weapon so there's still a problem in this area yes very it's a problem was that it will be green elephant for us yet we discovered several friends yeah with the able to talk to me yes it was that it was a twenty short you know they have to be i thought ok yes so they shoot the elephants painting hunting rifles are going to get

a great was how do they take over when you're going to be able to use excess to chop off big access to space and they cut the faces cut to the fifty forming. a different yeah. our first rescue was a little elephant to moyo 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. 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 realized the magnitude and the responsibility of the work that my mother was doing and why was no nearly four. nearly five years old and she is a 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. with us for help. and he had a broken back late. now. see is that cliff's leg was broken and fused to him. but he can still walk ok. but you can see where it was. and. it's a two and nine years old now so he's the oldest one in the school and this is boyle she is not nearly five years all. the. young elephants have come to us. myspace really brutal poaching incidents because sadly the baby elephants often do see their mothers not 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 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 have had too much trauma and they hold on to their trauma they can die they can literally die from a broken heart. i do believe elephant smile i see it in these little ones they hold patiently 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 the ears evenly when they're smiling. i have no science. to prove that i can't

and i can say yes elephant smile they don't smile. 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 so special to watch. as we continue to grow online with our online identities and personas you will continue to. see this mixture of physical crime and internet crime and the two will melt to a point where they're almost indistinguishable if you can't really distinguish what all.

after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the hope the ball different clubs on one hand it is logical to sit in the 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 why not if you think. i'm going to talk about football not the or else you can think i was going to go. by the way ways of that slide here. desperate for a single purpose. they have a soup when. they start training very young. eight months of intensive schooling.

rats. and they saved lives. you. know we've got this is a 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 i don't well 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 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 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. 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. from the part of the oranges which waned in a part of the plastics so i think that these will be one which attempted to be using this. from a far distance in the oils they were also coming from they want to 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 perches were killed. in captured one.

of them from a crossbench actually the now. reports. and how many pieces about. there were. more divorce in each person was. about feeling from fifty to. 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 poaching 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 and 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 in stead of that we we built this 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. in the gate and we walked them into that main way 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 does 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. the 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 the say. and they've said to say it's all been extremely nicely said they have adapted to the new food in your environment they're starting to interact and communicate with the other wild elephants we now 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. a safe area 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. 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 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 and it was one of the inspirations for why my mom started the zimbabwe elephant nursery. 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. just as. poor as ivory. yeah when the elephants leave us they'll be very mixed emotions of course we we've 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. we'll 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. u.s. veterans who come back from war often told the same stories. were going after the people who were killing civilians they were not interested in the wellbeing of their own soldiers either they're already several generations of them so i just got this memo from a certain french officer says we're going to attack and destroy the government and

in seven countries in five years americans pay for the wars with them money others with their lives if we were willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed for a war surely we can risk some discomfort for an easy notice for. a very made up at our army and said if you don't buy into my ponzi scheme on going to shoot my god you even though the bodies came with well known to be a ponzi scheme yes you see it investigated bernie madoff at least twice before they finally busted him and they it was a well known ponzi scheme invested by well known people imagine bernie had an army now apply that to the u.s. dollar the u.s. dollar is a ponzi scheme why do people want u.s. dollars because if they don't the u.s. military is set 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

a new york times rightly so the u.s. dollar is worthless it's backed by violence. and there was a crack seems to do crack when i was located in my day he was like. us to be so you know a guy 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 same for e. i think it's more of teenagers having kids and you can't expect a fourteen or fifteen year old first daughter not old enough for and there be a father and he's a check out. the last place in. my car and breaking down i was unable to get to work on time so they let me go with my paycheck that i bring home i have barely enough to pay my car insurance. gas in
