I'm wondering why don't they source lions from the nearest populations? Why South African lions? Are there too many? For preserving genetic diversity the nearest/genetically closest lions to the original lion population should be chosen. Why not Lions from Kenya or Tansania?

This is Beautiful! What a important and admirable work! I hope you guys at African Parks can save all this innocent animals and indigenous people for generations to come.

There's is Hope ❤❤❤thank you

We are now 2024 still the best

The Baka Few people on earth have as close a relationship to the forest as the Baka, Indigenous hunter gatherers who have lived in, protected and shaped the Congo Basin rainforest for generations. Yet they are facing human rights abuses in the name of conservation. The creation of Protected Areas on their ancestral lands, from colonial times up until today, has brought violence, land theft, dispossession and hunger to the Baka. Park rangers, funded and equipped by big conservation organizations (like WWF and African Parks), subject them to harassment, rape, beatings, torture and even death. Once their land is stolen, their sustainable ways of life are criminalized and they are pushed into “alternative livelihoods” to conform with mainstream society. Self-sufficient people are turned into landless and dependent “beneficiaries" of conservation-funded projects or into tourist attractions; while the real culprits of environmental destruction, like mining, oil, logging companies and trophy hunters are considered “partners” of conservation and allowed to carry on with business as usual. The very existence of the Baka as a people is threatened. It’s time to decolonize conservation. Survival International

Very interesting but too short.

Fun fact: unfortunately, the pronunciation Chinko means di*k in Japanese.

Great job AP

Rwanda, you are so lucky. You can go towards forgiveness.We are not so lucky. Chairman Mao's history has become the whole world's reason to humiliate us and push us and our children to hell. Not only us, but humiliation goes to our ancestors, goes to thousand years of history and culture and thousand years of efforts. Mao is also the reason that the Japanese is so proud of themselves. Everytime I open TV or youtube, I see Chairman Mao and how shameful we are, and how the Japanese is number one. You are lucky you are away from the mess with the Japanese.

Why was the flight 12 hours? Is Congo that far from south Africa? Great doc btw! Amazing job relocating the rhinos to congo

Thank you!

What a magical place! Those butterflies! And cute dung beetle! But Dear Lord! That slaughter! From thousands of elephants to a handful - 100 hundred. Can't even imagine that carnage....Luckily African Parks arrived and with it the people changed...Thank you for safeguarding this and other places...Africa is like no other continent on this spinning rock we call home..:-)))

so so sad...:-((((Hopefully they will be able to be released to the wild..

Awwww...what a huge huge task! And all went well....so so glad to see them in new place...Here is hoping they are well protected and they will populate...xoxoxox...the loss of white northern rhino was so devastating....it happened on our watch....we were not vigilant enough and not ruthless enough in their protection....It must not happen to this species...

Yay now they'll rise their reintroduced numbers in the Garamba national park

Children are the future...especially now...they are the future guardians and protectors of those riches they are going to inherit....education is everything... this is most important initiatives...knowledge is power...

Power like water is everything .....Thank you!

Brilliant! and so so important. Thank you!

Great! I just wish those footages were a bit longer with more substance. Show us the schools, their work in farms and nurseries..:-) show some improved living..:-)))

Great approach. These people need all the help they can get, now days. As everything is drastically changing, especially climate. Is anyone showing them new way of grazing? The so called holistic approach? Alan Savory (hate that man for elephant slaughter in SA) and many others, restore the land that way). But the people would have stop burning and stay put for awhile in one area...these things are so complex...so many layers to fix and modify...it will take time and generations....can we wait that long?

Enjoy a morning and sunset game drive, visit the local communities, or ask for a specialised bird viewing experience. Book your next holiday today: visitmajete.org

My country

I visited the reserve yesterday and it was an amazing experience! I met 4 healthy lions, a white Rhinoceros, elephants, hippos, giraffes, African buffaloes, zebras, impalas, baboons, warthogs, waterbucks, etc… I only missed leopards which are very discrete creatures

Amazing conservation afford! LOVE your work guys! Love your videos, old and new..:-) Please post more videos with your work in the field from all your parks....I could watch it for hours...so so want to visit Rwanda and maybe some other parks in Africa.....waiting for pandemic to settle down some more...:-)

I was in Akagera around the year 2000, it's an extraordinarily beautiful place. I was the only visitor when I went, I'm sure it's busier now.

Big love from algeria ❤️❤️❤️

humans + money = destruction. conservation funds are money given to the locals to destroy the land. the money destroy everything it touches, The solution is to remove money out of the equation to conserve the lands

Newly started business in Rwanda needs partner as soon as possible 91 + 9846798698 (Legal Company) indian company

Africa people stop allowing outsiders to destroy your land and resources

At that period some of the people I met are not living and dead! That was 1985
