thinking it's the shape of the mother 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 to a point the mother. put it into that instinct to put his head out so we can get the bottle to get into. being with us all two weeks to the day actually it was two weeks ago today that we rescued 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 the unlike some other animals elephants won't really young that isn't. done

for its founder the center for orphan dynamos to help them get back on their feet and prepare them to return to the wild. to get for their food that's because. this. is so they elephants start off the day when the sun rises early in the morning the handlers come they 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 virgin bush that they've got to themselves just them the handlers and 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 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 dock at about four or five o'clock they'll start walking together with the handlers back to the nursery. will. we got a phone call to say that there was this very young elephant that had been orphaned and he is a victim of pitching down in the south of the country and he was found i 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 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 at the pumps it can make it can make these journeys very difficult. so we got him pat and i. put him on the formula he was he and we then realise that

he's a very very young calf he has no teeth he doesn't know how to use his trunk you it's his coordination is not they it so i estimate him to be i estimated to mum arrival to be about three or four days old we've 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 their 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 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 to and the turned one. and then 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. right here with the limpopo. is so good he's. limbaugh. 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 abusing. 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 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 so 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 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 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 much as with the weapon so there's still a problem in this area yes very it is a problem because he has will be doing

a lot for us yet we 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 painting hunting rifles are going to get a great was how do they take over when you are going to be able to use the excess to kill off big excess and they cut the faces cut to the fifty forming a cold front yeah. our first rescue was a little elephant to morrow he 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 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 a strong healthy a lot. 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 them in the full way. this is the sun is up. in these days with us for help. and we had a broken back late. now now it's healing you 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 a nine years old now so he's the oldest one in the school and this is boyle she is not nearly five years old. the. young elephants have come to us. yes specially 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 live 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 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. they're

bred for a single purpose. they have a superman. they start training very young. they months of intensive schooling. their rats. and they save lives. you know world big parts of the movie lot of things and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the bath 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 for watching close watch of the hawks. us veterans who come back from war often tell the same stories. we're 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 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 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 then surely we can risk some discomfort or uneasiness for.

you. know with this little infant i'll be happy that's because those. sins of my children it's bad to say i'm. sure go die in the elephant or that animal 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

a in twenty seventeen october one hundred twelve. but when seventeen. we just got quite a bit of a way of painting. which were killed by so unique ways in. india to say no it was to visit poor. plastic bags used to 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 these are all the one which attempted to be using this. from a far distance in the old they were also coming from they want to point. to the offending area.

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 butchers were killed. in captured one. day. was that we should have been from a crossbench actually be. they cross the border. and how many pieces of ivory. they were.

from or divorce in each person was. a body 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 so we were worried about it getting stuck instead 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 they've stayed since but we still use the sometimes if we need to keep them here the water is here so they come to drink coulson the day. all the way to consume a national park and then across to both swan 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 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 elephants but for all other animals it's meant to be.

hello go second go. you know so i can go right good go right. good go. and go. thank you. and this is better no problem no. that's good. either 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 bahamas 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 elephants 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 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 interact. 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 sentence 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 not. just as meat hole 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 compared to its in the bush but we'll miss them of course i can't i can't live 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 so you know i got like what i needed when i was a baby boy i had a bad childhood. there's always band single mothers and african american community service and slavery. i think it's more of a chinese teenagers having kids and you can expect a fourteen or fifteen year old first daughter now order for him to be

a far there and he's a check out. we actually lost our place and. my car end up breaking down and i was unable to get to work on time sunday let me go in with my paycheck that i bring home i have barely enough to pay my car insurance. gas my car. i didn't think the numbers mean something they've never us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime families did. eighty five percent of global wealth you long to be ultra rich with six percent of the world market thirty percent some with four hundred to five hundred three purchase per circuit and this one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one

billion dollars a are you industrial park but don't let the numbers over. the only number you need to remember in one one business show you know board the mit one and only boom books. compared to. leak. leaking.
