and put it. 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 the point. put it into that instinct so we can get the bottle. was being 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 i mean he arrived very young very vulnerable and we didn't know it would drive to their mothers' baby elephants can't survive in the wild without help the unlike some other animals elephants won't really young that isn't. found to the scent of folk wolf and animals to help them get back on their feet and prepare them to return to the wild.

to keep a. secret. which . is so the elephants 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 pisa version bush that they've got to themselves just them and listen 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 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 had back to the nursery. full. 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 and he was found a learn but in an area where there 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 had minister a few other critical components to making sure that the elephant survives the full journey of the earth and playground this is usually anywhere between an hour 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 at the pumps it can make it can make these journeys very difficult. so we got him pat and 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 nothing. so i estimate him to be i estimated to mum arrival

to be about three or four days old we use for limpopo we're using a mode 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 term and the turned one.

i mean we go. to find the baby. i'm the one awake during mate with the new boy by spending time about it and then we do the dishes that i'm taking care with the limpopo he's so good he's. limpopo is a little one i'm sure about the one thousand and two exploded i'm not quite sure i think he's doing so well it is hard to work with these new. young. elephants. toughly. we are trying our best. efforts 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 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 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've reproaches with the weapon so there's still a problem in this area yes very it is a problem because the it will be green elephant for us yet we discovered several friends yeah with the. truck did we have yes it shows that it was

a twenty short you know they have to be i thought ok just 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 kill off big excess and they cut the fake head to the fifty forming. yeah. our first rescue was a little elephant a moyal 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 realize the magnitude and the responsibility of the work that my mother was doing and why i 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 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 there with him in the hallway. this is the son that screwed up. in his being with us for help. and he has broken that place. now. you see 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 script and this is boyle she is not nearly five years all. young elephants have come to us. yes specially brutal coaching 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. fans 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 a broken heart. i do believe elephant smile 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 then 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 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 it's so special to watch. in the world of political much making the european union has long put 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 value stocks attractive to potential it's. welcome to maximize their financial survival guide. looking forward to your pension account. yanks this is what happens to pensions in britain. watched as a report. that there was a crisis seems to do crack when i was a local my dad he was like oh just so you know i got like what i need it when i was a baby boy i had a bad childhood. there's always been single mothers in african-american communities

ever since slavery. i think it's more of these teenagers having kids when you can expect a fourteen or fifteen year old first daughter now order for handing your father and he's a checkout. we actually lost our place and. my car end up breaking down and i was unable to get to work on time so they let me go in with my paycheck that i bring home i have nearly enough to pay my car insurance . gas and my car.

the. lawyer. you. know we've got this little infant i would be happy why best because those. children it's bad to say i'm. sure go die in the elephant or that you know i don't know 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 of walking along. in twenty seventh in october. seventeenth. we discovered

that. indeed they say no it was to visit or. plastic big bridge when the. industry. was dropping some stuff from the part of the oranges which waned in a part of the plastics so i think that diesel would be one which attempted to be using this. from a distance in the old they were also coming from the what up point. to the fitting .

in twenty seventeen china imposed on task and 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. day. was that we should have been from a crossbench to actually be now. reports. and how many pieces of that they were. more divorce in each person was.

all. 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 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 and we 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 main stage 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 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 parcel 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. a logo so i can't go. you know so i can go right good go right. good go. go. go.

and this is better no problem no let's go to. the they're growing bigger. 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 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 tree or a safe area within the fence and the elephants are sleeping inside and 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 elephants wild animals elephants lions buffalo. holes yeah that's the safe area and then outside he has the wild area. that's where the wild elephants can come out to and 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 day i interacting with wild elephants so that one day when they in the bush they've got

their friends who are in the bush who understand the laws of the wild so that's why we doing that is for the wild elephants to get to know these elephants more and more. elephants are an important symbol inspirations for why my mum started in zimbabwe elephant mystery. it was a opportunity to tell a conservation story that often isn't told something that is that is positive that has that has far reaching implications and i think for. self is a bob when 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. i would like more people to try and understand it within zimbabwe how the animals. think that they sentience 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 will 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 will be very happy when they are living wild and free with wild compared to its in the bush but we'll miss them of course i can't i can't live 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.

us veterans who come back from war often tell the same stories. were going after the people who were killing civilians they were not interested in the wellbeing of their own soldiers either there already several generations of them so i just got this memo from the circulating branches off that says we're going to attack and destroy the government and seven countries in five years americans pay for the wars with their money others with their lives if we were willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed for a war and surely we can risk some discomfort for uneasiness for.
