in this community there are people who believe that it's ok. it's really hard there are no jobs and you see the kids that ask and as a parent. i can come up with arguments and there's a lot of conflict within the game and between the teams most of the conflicts i would say are over. there most of them is made. close one of the children's cosimo each other is good because the state of california alone makes $6000000000.00 a year of prison complexes to get some $25.00 where. you don't care anymore nobody cares about your so you don't care might anything. because.

well. we.

'd do know. when we have a new baby. we will often hang a hang a blanket and the baby will go into there thinking it's the shape of the mother and put his hand up 'd 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. lose the world. was being with us all 2 weeks to the day actually it was 2 weeks ago today that we rescued really and so we crossed the 10 day mark i mean he arrived he had very young very vulnerable and we didn't know it was going to be touch and go. and.

deprived of their mothers baby elephants can't survive in the wild without help unlike some other animals elephants won't real 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 a way to go that's because. it . 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 $300.00 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 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 4 or 5 o'clock they'll start walking together with they had back to the nursery. we got a phone call to say that there was this very young elephant that had been orphaned and he is a victim of touching down in the south for the country. he was found i 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 cough. we put up a drip with minister a few other critical components to making sure that the elephant survives the full . playground this is usually anywhere between and all of the hof to 3 hours. it can be it can be one of the most challenging things because you're in a small airplane you have 802150 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 pat and and put him on the for me that he was he and within realised that he's a very very young calf he has no teeth he doesn't know how to use his trunk here it's his coordination it's not they it sigh estimates him to be i estimated to memorize or to be about 3 or 4 days old we use 4 limpopo we're using a moco is $26.00 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. dye calcium phosphate and it's been specifically measured. so that we know exactly how much she needs

every day so she gets 2 of these skips every day. 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. the one awake during mate with the new ball by spending time about it and then we do want to share. it with the limpopo is so good he says limbaugh. is a little one i'm sure about the 1002 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 100 years ago for 5 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 4th generation zimbabwean my family moved 4 generations ago and we've been on this ever since this. is a commercial operation and there are about 2 and

a half 1000 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 20 years but 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 60 or 70 years.

i very much as with the weapon so there's still a problem in this area yes very it's a problem was it will be dreamed up across years we discovered several friends yeah with the able to talk to me yes it. was that 20 short you know they have to be i thought ok yes so they shoot the elephants painting hunting rifles we're going to get a great was out today we're going to be able to use the excess to chop off big excess and they cut the faces cut to the 50 forming a cold front yeah. our 1st rescue was a little elephant to morrow 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 1000000 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 was no nearly 4. nearly 5 years old and she is a strong healthy elephant and again i think that's what is really powerful about this project is it's a legacy project these animals. they live to 607080 years old my mom isn't going to be around to see these animals when they're in there with them in the hallway. this is the sun is up. these days with us for 4 years. and we had a broken back late. see is that cliff leg was broken and fused. but he can still walk ok. but you can see where it was.

and said it's a 2 and 9 years old now so he's the oldest one in the school and this is boyle she is not nearly 5 years all. the. young elephants have come to us. my specialty 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. 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 a 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 is even. when they're smiling. i have no science. to prove that i can't console yourself and 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 it's so special to watch.

the nato military alliance was a relic from the cold war back then it was relevant and even necessary today it is an alliance in search of a mission that search has almost weekly impale eastern expansion towards russia but the lingering question remains is the average american and western european interested in a war over the sovereignty dystonia in montenegro. in

. the. glory. you. know with 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 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. 30 or 40 years old walking along. in 20. 5th. 17. we discovered that in a way. which were killed by seine. indeed they say no it was too. plastic big for the bridge when the. industry. was dropping some moisture from the part of the oranges which waned in a part of the plastics so i think about the one which attempted to be using this. from a distance in the old they were also coming from the what a point. to be a fitting area.

in 2017 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 we. had one. of them from a crossbench actually the. reports. and

how many pieces and then they were. more divorce in each person was. about feeling from 50 to. 50. 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 1st 6 elephants from the nursery near to. all the way up to here to panama city 18 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. 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 2 days here. while they were settling in

and then after that one or 2 days reopen 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 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 so 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. 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 have said to ringback 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 1st and foremost. they 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 same. and the elephants are sleeping inside and the night and day and 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 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 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. understand the laws busy 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 in the culture and the heritage of our country

and it was one of the inspirations for why my mum started in zimbabwe and often this week. 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 myself as a zimbabwean it's rare. powerful to see how a project a. how far a project can reach and this is a symbol for a positive conservation story and it's about. 'd 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 china understand within zimbabwe how the animals. think

hard 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've cared for these elephants for nearly 5 years now and we care about them but at the same time our mission has always for them been for them 'd 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 live that i would miss them you know we will miss them of course but most of all 'd we'll be

happy for them that they are free in the wild. always still got you to entice a. credit . who want to think about getting out of your.

good image so. you don't have them delete too much of what i get to be i get all you could on the. 4th of when i'm another good one that's all that she wants i want it from me don't come for.

that. president trump announces a restart of peace talks with the taliban in afghanistan during his 1st visit to the country. the french president doubles down on his criticism of nato on to describing the military alliance as a brain dead. and a rally in the french capital to raise awareness of violence against women is itself mobbed by violence as one feminist group clashes with another we talked to one of the woman who took part. i was in the rage we went to this demonstration because we wanted to defend women's rights the violence against women the protest resist questions a demonstration with the slogan all of us turns out not to be for all of us a drawl.
