Africa’s got the greatest number and
diversity of large mammals
it’s the continent that’s been blessed
with the most wildlife many of these
animals like the black rhino they down
to a few thousand this is it in the next
hundred years years make or break and
every animal comes each immobilization
each animal I work with these are quite
a potent tranquilize it from a seeing
animal to putting a dart in I’d be
pleased maximum in a minute and and
perfectly listen it a black rhino is in
many ways an animal that want to be left
alone those the ones most likely to be
poached what most difficult to monitor
and having a helicopters made all the
difference it simplifies the work very
much
simply because you can cover big
distance in a short period of time and
they reached areas that we would haven’t
is a real pioneer in any of the more
dangerous or more difficult Game Capture
operations like we’re doing here the
whole thing is to work as quickly as
possible get the job done get out again
I’m going to spend for about a minute or
two just being comfortable this animal
is okay it’s breathing well this animal
is stable we can now move on and start
doing other stuff to it so that’s that’s
number one position an animal is
important we tend to put on the side
pump those legs make sure there’s
there’s good circulation to the legs
dusted with water a few times keep it
wet each person has their own job
focusing on stabilizing animal and then
the the horn employees usually has been
a second or even a third vet one vet
will then focus on taking samples and
the other vet will focus on monitoring
the animals are fully mobilized we’re
using an opioid which is a very powerful
painkiller the part of the horn that we
drilled to put in the gadgets is
composed of dead cells so the animal
cannot feel pain we drill a hole into
the horn for the actual transmitter and
then we will drill a long hall from the
top
– pretty antenna and we fill up the hole
with dental acrylic dyed or put
something with it to make it the same
color as rhino horn said if the animal
is purchased now all is taken
you wouldn’t easily realize that this
herb is a transmitter in that horn and
when we give the antidote suddenly that
one was awake again you can see its prey
it’s really very spectacular and within
about a minute and a half Elmen p.m. on
its feet
we know that the job has been done the
animals fine one feels really good
knowing where that animal is means you
can keep an eye on it and make sure that
born from animals which have been
poached has certainly been tracked down
and the folk have been involved either
the purchase or the middlemen have been
caught supporting Tanaka and supporting
other organizations like Frank for
making sure it’s well managed the
wildlife is well protected the nappa is
very important to secure the landscape
to secure the ecosystem that is the
biggest challenge over the next ten
years I also very much enjoy working in
Africa with African people a wonderful
team to work with to see how they go
forward and how enthusiastic they are to
conserve as well I’m very proud to be
involved in protecting these resources
that Tanzania have a big chunk of the
Serengeti is that much safer by by the
involvement the friedkin Conservation
Fund which we have here under under dan
Friedkin he’s a great pilot he’s clearly
very passionate about conservation he’s
very passionate about Tanzania and the
Serengeti particularly this operation
had been giving us helicopter time
that’s my dollar difference it’s the
first time essentially we’ve really had
a helicopter here to do the Rhino
program boy what a difference
come on we need the future generation
including my children to see these
animals and get to understand them and
they continue the work to conserve them
that we’ll have been doing I’d love to
say young folk out there who are looking
for something to do who feel a passion
for conservation get involved you know
this is the time to really save our environment
