well ready. 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 rip the cake to a point the mother said that he put his hand up that that instinct to put his head out so we can get the bottle to get him to. go to.

being with us all 2 weeks to the day actually it was 2 weeks ago today that we rescued with hope and so we crossed the 10 day mark i mean here i have very young and 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 i'm like some other animals elephants won't really young that isn't. broken down films founded essential folklore from dynamos to help them get back on their feet and prepare them to return to the wild. it's a good it's a good thing that's it. it

. is so the elephants start off the day when the sun rises early 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 $300.00 take piece of bush that they've 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 4 or 5 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 a change in the south of the country and he was found dead in an area where there is. 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 make sure that the elephant survives the full journey of the. plane ride this is usually anywhere between and how the hof to 3

hours. it could be that to be one of the most challenging things because you're in a small airplane you have a $1250.00 you know elephants that is in the plane with you and the change in air pressure the bobs it can make it can make these journeys very difficult. so we got him half and. put him on the formula that he was he and within realized 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 ought to be about 3 or 4 days old we use for limpopo we're using a moat called 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. die 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 cannot milk unfortunately it's not trace but we don't have coconuts in zimbabwe so we have to use the. the 10 and the 10 and want. and then we go. to find a baby. the

one. with a new spin to tell me about it and then we do. the limpopo. is a little one i'm sure about the 12 x. will do i'm going. to he's doing so will. these. young. elephants. it's a tough choice sure. we are trying our best the 1st 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. 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 purchased with the weapon so there's still a problem in this area yes very it's a problem was in his will between our parts was yes we discovered several friends yeah with the. truck did we have yes it. was a 20 short you know they have to be i thought ok just so they shoot the elephants painting hunting rifles we're going to get a great horse how to detect when you're going to be able to use access to cut off

big access to space and they cut the faces cut to the 50 forming that they're different 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 i was no nearly 4. nearly 5 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 are. 607080 years old my mom isn't going to be around to see these animals in the. way.

so this one is rough. and he's been with us for 4 years 4. years. and back. now all. you see is that left leg was broken and fused here. but he can still walk. but you can see where it was. and. it's a 2 and 9 years old now. he's the oldest one in this group and this is boyle she nearly 5 years all. young elephants have come to us. brutal poaching incidents because sadly the baby elephants often do see their mothers not only be killed but also be cut up and butchered 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 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. do you believe elephants smile i see it in these little ones they hold facial expression changes and this little mouse they look up and i looks at you like this i met the whole the whole expression changes and that. 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 their whole face lights up and it's just it's just it's so special to watch . war industry is based on greed and that greed is based on this. rush to cumulate as much paper wealth as possible even though it's not genuine wealth not actual money it's not gold like a warren buffett just hoards of money like an old granny what hoard phone books and

that doesn't credible damage because a thing called kate said to the population this notion of holy. this is a story about what happens austria stray bullets kills a young girl in the streets. what happens to her family and daughters in florida you know the mother daughter is very reminiscent of terry it is kneeling this is with your head what happens to the community the public was screaming for a scapegoat the police needed a scapegoat so why not choose a 19 year old black kid with a criminal record who better to pen this than him and what happens in court be. shocked shocked as far as a side deal. we don't know she'll share this is from. the end of this trial

unfortunately you too will still not know what childress. the. lawyer.

you. know we've got this little infant i would be happy why best bozo's. since my children it's bad to say i'm. sure. any elephant will and 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 30 or 40 years old walking along the road you know . in 27th in october 1. 117 he discovered the. device a unique ways in. india saying it was 2 or. plastic bags of bread when the. industry. was dropping some stuff from the part of the oranges which way in the inner part of the

plastics so i think about 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 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 porches 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 case than was carrying up or 2 of those a $42.00 piece or 2 pieces indeed wasn't. all both of the containment was the odd feeling from 52545254.

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 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 1st 6 elephants from the nursery. 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 we were worried

that. if the truck was going up the hill that it would get stuck we were worried about it getting stuck so instead of that we we built this ramp and this bomb ahead 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 we opened the gates 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 our wilson 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 of the animals. is meant to be. a logo circuit go. so ok go right good go. good go. go. go. and this is better no problem. that's got. the they're growing bigger these in. and they've said to say it's all been extremely nicely so 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 1st 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 has 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 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 'd. understand the laws busy 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 'd. 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 try and understand what's in 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 among 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 5 years now and we care about them but at the

same time our mission has always for them being for them to go back to the wild and so it'll 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 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. you know world of big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up

to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. 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 closely watching the hawks. we still got us into times have a duty to clean. up the payment to call we're going to cope with these credit and i knew you. could we're going to think about you think about it. can they. get in that's all.

the eat too much stuff i get to be a good tone crew from the author to get i think i fail when i'm in the good children telling the thought they'd soon tire going next time you don't come for the marketing. i. so it's some.
