Turning into factories of producing petrol bombs and the University Administration simply were powerless a whole generation been brought up in a system which has not given them any sense of chinese nationhood most of them do not feel themselves of consider themselves as chinese anymore. And they reacted quite. Strongly as perceived to be intervention in holocaust internal affairs. And finally a huge new bridge between russia and china has been completed its the 1st of its kind between the 2 states the particular bridge in question is across the a more river more than one kilometers in length its part of a key highway project is hoped that this will boost economic ties and tourism between the 2 countries russian authorities have held the new road as being a huge strategic importance because harsh weather conditions in the region have been hampered. Cross border trade for many years. And that brings us right up to date appreciate you company the c. V. I know you could be lots of places you with r. T. And grateful see with updates in half an. Wolf. Will leave. d believe. Me when we have a new baby we will often hang a hang a blanket and the baby will go into there thinking its the shape of the mother and put his hand up to suckle and i think its the texture on the face and the fact that its soft and were trying to replicate to a point the mother so that hell 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 with hope and so we crossed the 10 day mark i mean he arrived she had very young very vulnerable and we didnt know it was going to be touch and go. And live. Deprived of their mothers baby elephants cant survive in the wild without help unlike some other animals elephants wont really young that isnt. Done for its founder the scent of a wolf and animals to help them get back on their feet and prepare them to return to the wild. To begin. With. Is so they elephants they start off the day when the sun rises 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 300. 00 take to pisa version bush that theyve 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 dark at about 4 or 5 oclock theyll start walking together with they had liz back to the nursery. We got a phone call to say that they was just so very young. That it been all fun and he is a victim of teaching. For the country. He was found a learn but in an area where they is. Going on currently its very very hot down there its 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 with minister a few other critical components to making sure that the elephant survives the full journey of the 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 youre 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 weve got to pat and. Put him on the for me that he was he and we then realize that hes a very very young calf he has no teeth he doesnt know how to use his truncates his coordination is not there yet so i estimate him to be i estimated him on the arrival to be about 3 or 4 days old we use 4 limpopo were using a moco is 26. 00 gold this is a human formula and we found that this formula. Its not perfect but it works ok. This is calcium. Elephants need a huge amount of calcium for the bones so this is actually. Dark calcium phosphate and its been specifically measured. So that we know exactly how much she needs every day so she gets 2 of these skips it read a. What we also add is some. Coconut milk unfortunately its not fralche but we dont 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 billy bob i spend time about it and then we do the dishes. But im thinking clearly the limbaugh. Is so good his limbaugh. Is a little one im sure about the one and 2 its all good im not quite sure i think hes doing so well it is hard to work with these. Young. Elephants. Its a tough week. Were trying our best to drink 1st family moved to zimbabwe more than a 100 years ago for 5 generations theyve 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 its on its been developed on the family farm so im a 4th generation zimbabwean my family moved to 4 generations ago and weve been on this sense this. Is a commercial operation and there are about 2 and a half 1000 People Living on this property. Weve 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 its such a lifetime commitment and its a huge responsibility and a massive weight on all of us old shoulders that it was one of happiness because we saw much 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 theres still a problem in this area yes very its a problem was it will be dreamed up but for us here we discovered several friends yeah with be. 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 are going to get a great was how do they take over when youre going to be able to use excess to chop off big access to space and they cut the face of the 50 forming coal yeah. Our 1st rescue was a Little Elephant a moyal who was a victim of poaching and she was a tiny tiny Little Elephant and we didnt 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 ive 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. 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 her. And become a mom. I needed to be her mother. You know ill never ill 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 back i realize the magnitude and the responsibility of the work that my mother was doing. While i was no nearly 4. Nearly 5 years old and she is a Strong Healthy elephant. Again i think thats what is really powerful about this project is its a legacy project these animals. They live to 607080 years old my mom isnt going to be around to see these animals when theyre in there with them in the hallway. This is the sun is up. These days with us for all. The growth and back late. You see is that cliffs leg was broken and fused with him. But he can still walk ok. But you can see where it was. And so he said its a 2 and 9 years old now so hes the oldest one in the school and this is boyle she is not nearly 5 years old. The. Young elephants have come to us. Yes specially brutal perching incidents because sadly the baby elephants often do see their mothers not only be killed but also be cut up and orchard. And thats terrible i mean they carry that with them and sometimes weve had cases where. Be elephants have been rescued and brought to us and physically theres 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 theyve 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 i met the whole the whole expression changes and that ears evenly when theyre smiling. I have no science. To prove that i cant and i can say yes elephant smile they dance. For me with my observations of behavior when an elephant is happy particularly a baby they whole face lights up and its just its just its 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 completely entailed eastern expansion towards russia but the lingering question remains is the average american and western european interested in a war over the solvent the dystonia and montenegro. You. Know with this little infant i would be happy why best was oh so. Soon my children its bad to say im. Sure go die in the elephant or that you know i dont know but it seems like. The most difficult parts of the job would be. To make a decision. Which i dont do very often and i dont take this decision lightly of when to say enough is enough when a baby has become so compromised and the 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 a in 2017 october. 17th. We just covered it but we were painting elephants which were killed by so you need 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 the one which attempted to be using this. From a far distance in the oils they were also coming from they want to point. To the offending 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 butchers were killed we. Had one. Was that we should have been from a crossbench to actually be now. They crossed the border. And how many pieces of ivory. They were. From or divorce in each person was. A body from 50 to 5450. 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 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 every day 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 in stead 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 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 theyve 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 its a very big area surrounded by a protected area yeah thats what makes it so important for elephants is because its 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 its 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 weve now secured thats very good for elephants but for all other animals. Its meant to be. Hello go 2nd go. You know so i can go right good go right. Good go. Go. Go. And this is better no problem no. Thats got. The theyre growing bigger these in. And theyve set to settled in extremely nicely so they have adapted to the new food in your environment theyre 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. A safe area 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 thats where theres all kinds of Wild Elephants wild animals elephants lions buffalo but the whole thats the safe. Side yes the wild area so thats where the Wild Elephants can come out and then they can meet with these elephants in the night weve taken some of the dung of the elephants of the big adult female elephant and weve 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 theyll smell a female elephant and they can tell and then they will be more interested to interact with these elephants and its very important for these elephants that interacting with Wild Elephants so that one day when theyre in the bush theyve got their friends who are in the bush. Understand the laws of the wild so thats why were 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 nursery. It was a opportunity to tell a conservation story that often isnt told something that is so that is positive that has that has far reaching implications and i think for myself as a zimbabwean its 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 its 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 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 theyre not. Just as me or as ivory. Yeah when the elephants leave us theyll be very mixed emotions of course we weve 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 d 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 competitor its in the bush but well miss them of course i cant lie that i wont miss them you know we will miss them of course but most of all d well be happy for them that they offer free in the wild. Banks geysers financial survivor they say me to develop. A plan g. D. It is a central bank support diabolo me on a problem i know she stopped. Breaking news from the u. K.
