you know with us now all two weeks to the day 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 going to be touch and go. deprived of their mother's baby elephants can't survive in the wild without help unlike some other animals elephants won't really young that isn't. found to the scent of a wolf and animals to help them get back on their feet and prepare them to return to the wild. to figure out if that's if. 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 elephants and then they let them out and they walk with them from the nursery. to the bush which is a three hundred take piece a virgin bush that they've got to themselves just the handlers and a few antelope so they come here in the morning they roam around freely together they feed stay 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 it starts getting dock at about four or five o'clock they'll start walking together with they handlers back to the nursery.

well or we got a phone call to say that there was this very young elephant that had been orphaned and he is a victim of poaching down in the south of the country. he was found a learn but in an area where there is. going on currently it's very very hard down there it's a very hostile environment it's a big tough environment and so we sent a plane and we collected him. once on the airplane usually depending on the situation of the cough. we put up a drip and we administer a few other critical components to making sure that the elephant survives the full journey of their playground 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 hundred to one hundred fifty you know elephants that is in 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 here and with then realise 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 there yet sigh estimates him to be i estimated him under arrival to be about three or four days old we use 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 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 tend the turned one. i mean we go. to find the baby.

the one awake during mate with a newborn by spending time about it hours and then only do the dishes but i'm thinking clearly the limpopo. he's so good deeds. is a neutral one i'm sure about the one. i'm not quite sure i think he's doing so well it is hard to be. young. it's a tough week. we're trying our best to drink for it's 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. so where the wildlife sanctuary it's on it's been developed on

a family farm i'm a fourth generation zimbabwean my family moved here for 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 the other animals a slightly different because they can be released a lot easier and they don't 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 because we love elephants so much but also of nervousness of that lifetime commitment to

looking after these animals which can live for sixty or seventy years. i very much as with the weapon so there's still a problem in this area yes a very is a problem was that it would be dreamed up but for us yet we discovered several months yeah with the able to talk to me yes it. was that 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 did they take it was when to be able to use the excess to kill off big access to space and they cut the faces of the fifty forming a it's cold there that they're different yeah. our first race you was

a little elephant they moyal who was a victim of poaching 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. it was it was a moment of recognition it was a moment where we kind of realized the mag i realized the magnitude and the responsibility of the work that my mother was doing. while i was now nearly four nearly five years old. she is a strong healthy elephant. again i think that's what is really powerful about this project is 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 in. the way. this is the sun this. is being with us for all. the

growth and. she is back left leg was broken and fused. but he can still walk ok. but you can see where it was. and. it's nine years old now. the oldest one in the school and this is boyle she. will take. all. the. young elephants have come to. my space really brutal poaching incidents because sadly the baby elephants often do see their mothers not only be killed but also be cut up and watered and that's terrible i mean they carry that with them and sometimes we've had cases where. elephants have been rescued and brought to us and physically there's nothing wrong with them but they are just

heartbroken and they just lose the will to live physically they can be healthy but if they've had too much trauma and they hold on to that. i can die i can literally die from a broken heart. i do believe elephant smile i see it in these little ones they whole facial expression changes and this little mouse. they look up and i look at you like this and there the whole the whole expression changes and that the ears even when they are smiling. i have no science. to prove that i can't and i can say yes elephants smile they don't smile for me with my observations of behavior when an elephant is happy particularly

a baby their whole face lights up and it's just it's just it's so special to watch . for a single purpose. of a super. training very young. eight months of intensive school. rats. and they save lives.

in the world of political much making the european union has long before wealth as its most desirable. in the time it takes for the e.u. to make a policy decision china can set up a whole new industry. to potential its. i think more to gain is an outstanding person because he took on the most powerful agency in this county forgive me 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 he 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. it's a nod and a wink it wasn't what i wanted to do. in this county then some states have had. to go and went to his website began featuring comments about his family the sheriff might then. wash you like a bug and you know i wish you'd stop clinician's the end of life and stop. i believe what i'm doing oh so it's ok you know it's your funeral f.b.i. raided p.b.s. a critic. i snuck out of the united states. into russia political. men they know battle.

you. know we've got this little infant i would be happy why best was those. six legged children it's bad to say i'm.

sure. 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 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. fifth. we discovered. which were killed by a seine. in the day saying 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 diesel would be one which tended to be using this. from a far distance in the oils they were also coming from they want to point. to the 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 tons of ivory confiscated from. porches were killed we. had one. of them from a cross bench i don't try to be now. and

how many pieces of that they were. they're lucky seven pieces fifty seven yes big ones required very big ones from old more divorcée in each case than was carrying up or two of those a forty two pieces two pieces indeed wasn't even you all both of the containment was the body feeling from fifty to fifty four fifty to fifty four k. g.'s. in this in this part of the country which is northwestern 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 harare. the truck came here. 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 so we were worried about it getting stuck instead of that we we built this amp and this bomb. 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 we opened the gate and we walked them into that main by my where they've stayed since but we still use the sometimes if we need to keep them here the water's here so they come to drink calcine the day all the way to consume a national park and then across to both. so it's a very big area surrounded by a protected area 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 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 spoke for all other animals. is meant to be. a logo so i can't go. in so i can go go go. good go. go. go. and this is better no problem. that's goat. either growing bigger these in. 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 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 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 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. 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 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. 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 i can't

lie that 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 are free in the wild. i know there was a crack seems to do crack when i was a locate my dad he was like a bust 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 been single mothers and african-american community

service and slavery. i think it's more of a teenagers having kids in you can expect a fourteen or fifteen year old first daughter now order for him if you're far there and he said check out. the lost our place and. my car and breaking down i was unable to get to work on time so they let me go in with my paycheck that i bring home i have barely enough to pay my car insurance. but gas in my car. 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 to a point where they're almost indistinguishable it is you can't really distinguish what all.

the use of it like it's a more it's this if you. use the first one of the purest will just conspire with the disease. do you think it was. appropriate if. the little league. was for him to pull some sleep. these critics one of the pledge because there's been. a shooting in the life of the smear.

both of you knew those who. oppose someone. because of the old style if you please repeat you. know the child survivor charlie raleigh says he is being kept in the dark on the british investigation into the poisoning that killed his partner last year he met with russia's ambassador to the u.k. . you people will charlie and his brother to contact us is precisely the fact that they haven't been able to receive anything from the british authorities for a massive fire sweeps through an apartment block in central paris after an

explosion believed to have been caused by gas stored on a balcony.
