Journey of their playground this is usually anywhere between and how 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 we got him pat and and put him on the formula that he was he and within realised that hes a very very young calf he has no teeth he doesnt know how to use his truncates his coordination is not they it sigh estimates him to be i estimated him under arrival to be about 3 or 4 days old we use for limpopo were using a moat called is 26 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 their 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 re day. 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 tends the turned one. And then we go. To find the baby. And the one awake during mate with the new ball by spending time about it hours and then we do the dishes but im thinking clearly the limpopo. He so will do just so. Is a neutral one im sure about that one and. Im not quite sure i think hes doing so well it is hard to. Young. Elephants toughly. We are 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. So where the Wildlife Sanctuary its on its been developed on a family farm im a 4th generation zimbabwean my family moved to 4 generations ago and weve been on this ever since 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 the other animals a slightly different because they can be a day least a lot easier and they dont 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 love elephants so much 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 theres still a problem in this area yes very is it problem was that it would be dreamed up for us yet we discovered several friends yeah with the able to talk to us yes it. Was that 20 short you know they have to be able to catch us so they shoot the elephants painting hunting rifles are going to get a great was how did they take it was when youre going to be able to use the excess to kill off big excess and they cut the face of the 50 funding that theyre different yeah. Our 1st race you was a Little Elephant they moyal who was a victim of poaching 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 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 ill never ill never forget that moment of seeing this little baby elephant run up to me lift up her. It was it was a moment of recognition it was a moment where we kind of realized the mag i realize the magnitude and the responsibility of the work that my mother was doing. Why was nearly 4 nearly 5 years old. 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 in with them in the way. This is the sun this. Has been with us for all. The broken back. Is that cliffs leg was broken and fused. But he can still walk ok. But you can see where it was. And. Its a 2 a 9 years old now. Hes the oldest one in the school and this is boyle she nearly 5 years old. Young elephants have come to. My space really brutal poaching incidents because sadly the baby elephants often do see their mothers not only be killed but also be cut up and watered and thats terrible i mean they carry that with them and sometimes weve had cases with baby elephants have been rescued and brought to us and physically theres nothing wrong with them but they are just heartbroken and they just lose the will to live physically they can be healthy but if theyve had too much trauma and they hold on to that. I can die i can literally die from a broken heart. I do believe elephant smile i see it in these little ones they whole facial 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 the ears even when theyre smiling. I have no science. To prove that i cant i cant say yes elephant smile they dont smile for me with my observations of behavior when an elephant is happy particularly a baby their whole face lights up and its just its just its so special to watch. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im showbusiness ill see you then. Honest labor has spent a mollusc in america and the average income for americans hasnt budged at all in 2030 years because they were neutered from their ability to compete for capital labor has no seat at the table labor has no seat at the central bank labor has been abandoned the jobs have been shipped overseas the wall street now gets all the capital they get 100 percent of the capital every dollar printed by the fed goes directly to wall street bypasses labor bypasses way. This is a story about what happens auster a stray bullet kills a young girl in the street. Who happens to have family and daughters in florida know the mother daughter is buried in a cemetery in healing 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 the be the. Shock shock smar society we feel. We dont know shell just from. The end of this trial unfortunately you too will still not know chill just. Thinking about. Coming once weve gotten our shoes thrown around a lot as we didnt know until he was trapped in this tiny little wired coach we dont need a crate with him he will stir reaching out into the wilderness bring him anywhere near and thousands of breeding dogs caged in the in human conditions on puppy farms i mean 67 years you know theyve been locked up in a cage outside you see no protection from the weather the heat you know the courtier the rain the snow the founder nothing they have no protection. Because what you. Get through chaos across the u. S. Cruel puppy mills are supported by dog shows and pet stores most of the puppies are coming from this large Scale Factory farming kind of operations are being sold in stores even joined a good businesses are involved like agoa mom center there has been a shocking amount of organized opposition to adverts to increase the sands of care for dogs bred in commercial breeding facilities most of that opposition is coming from huge agricultural groups and industries that have nothing to do with jobs dont buy dog. The. Floor. You. Know weve got this little infant i would be happy why best bozos. Since my children its bad to say im. Sure there would be any elephant or that and i dont want to 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 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. Which were killed by say you need. India to say no it was too. Plastic big. When the. Industry. Was dropping some moisture from the part of the oranges which way in the inner part of the plastics so i think about the one which i tended to be using this. From a distance in the old they were also coming from they want to point. To the 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 porches were killed we. Had one. Of them from a crossbench actually the. Reports. And how many pieces about that they were. 37 pieces 57 yes big ones required very big ones from old more divorce in each case than was carrying up or 2 of those a 42 pieces 2 pieces indeed wasnt. All both of the containment was the odd feeling from 52545250. 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 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 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 so instead of that we we built this ramp and this bomb. 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 gate and we walked them into that main by my where theyve stayed since but we still use the sometimes if we need to keep them here the waters here so they come to drink calcine the day. All the way to consume a National Park and then across to both. So its a very big area surrounded by a protected area 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 those areas now that its 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 weve now secured thats very good for elephant spoke for all other 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. Thats got. The theyre growing bigger these in. And theyve said to say its all been extremely nicely so they have adapted to the new food in your environment theyre 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 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 thats where theres all kinds of Wild Elephants wild animals elephants lions buffalo but the whole thats the safe. Side yes the wild area. Thats where the Wild Elephants can come out and then they can meet with these elephants in the night here 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 busy 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. 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 it but in zimbabwe. The animals. Think. 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 theyre not looked on just as. Poor as ivory. Yeah when the elephants leave us theyll be very mixed emotions of course we we have 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 itll be mixed emotions for sure. Well be very happy when they are living wild and free with their wild competitors in the bush but well miss them of course i cant i cant live that i wont miss them you know we will miss them of course but most of all well be happy for them that they are free in the wild. Mothers in the. World would love. All. The love you loads. The world is driven by a dream shaped by one person of those words. In a day or thinks. We dare to ask. Thinking of getting a new mummy once we got our shoes from where i was he didnt know until he was trapped in this tiny little wired we dont need a crate with him he will just. Freaking out in she wont let us bring him anywhere near and thousands of leading dogs are caged in inhumane conditions on puppy farms i mean 67 years you know theyve been locked up in cages outside you see no protection from the weather the heat you know the cold air the rain the snow the funder nothing they have no protection.
