Media Lodge and Funker Tactical have teamed up to produce a significant new video series - "The Good Fight, A Counter-Poaching Initiative", presented by Sig Sauer.
This 3-part video series will run as an online broadcast on GetZone, as well as Funker Tactical's and Instructor Zero’s KZbin channels. The show will highlight the many ongoing challenges of the governments and people that are trying to protect the rhino population from extinction and defend against the ever-growing problem of poaching in Africa.
Series Synopsis:
In July of 2016, a team developed by Davide Bomben and Instructor Zero travelled to South Africa on a training mission to help preserve the lives of not only the rhinos, but also their sworn protectors - The Pilanesberg Rangers. In this 3-part series, we follow their 5-day training camp in the middle of the African Savannah where they battle the constant threat of enemy engagement, the unforgiving terrain and predatory wildlife.
"Media Lodge is honored to be a part of this groundbreaking video series dedicated to preserving the rhinos and protecting the Pilanesberg Rangers", said Jeff Siegel, CEO of Media Lodge. "We hope our collective efforts make a real impact where it is needed most…at the ground level".
The poaching syndicates in Africa are becoming more sophisticated, militarized and acquiring heavy weapons. Driven by its demand in parts of Asia where some attribute medicinal properties to rhino horn, the black market values a full-grown horn at upwards of one million dollars. This lucrative trade is also used to fund terrorist organizations such as Al-shabaab and Boko Haram, which have ties to ISIS and Al-Qaeda.
Despite hundreds of "Save the Rhino" organizations operating in Africa alone, the poaching problem worsens and is now inching at the doorstep of Pilanesberg National Park, a wildlife refuge that up until recently have been largely unaffected by rhino poaching. Once wildlife caretakers, these rangers have now been forced to take up arms to defend the black and white rhino from extinction.
Davide Bomben, a founding member of the Orion Poaching Prevention Academy, has been operating in the African continent for the past decade and believes that "Conservation without force is only conversation". Andrew Jackson, the manager of the Black Rhino Wildlife Trust operating inside Pilanesberg, also echoes this sentiment. "These rhinos don't belong to us. They belong to our children. These men and women are here day in and day out, spending long nights in isolated outposts, risking their lives for this. This isn't some feel good 'adopt a rhino program'…if anything, this is an 'adopt a fighter program'. This is real help. This is real support. We need this."
The 3 episodes of The Good Fight will be 5-8 minutes in length and will air on GetZone, one of the largest video platforms in the outdoor space. Episode 1 can be watched here: getzone.com/the...

THANK YOU Rangers and Zero as well as the rest of the team :-) thx for doing that important job

[@qj877]

That's a cause worth fighting for. Seems like being equipped with fpv drones would be a great advantage to them in the field. Also putting tracking chips in the rhinos would probably be a big advantage.

[@qj877]

Looking forward to more of this.

[@jsiegel101]

We donated drones to the cause. They need all the help they can get.

[@petertheduke1]

they need to unban rhino horn trade so that private owners can afford to better take care of there rhino's

It's sad the lengths people will go to to make money... Way to go FT for fighting "the good fight"!! I love all of your videos! You always seem to find the best trainers and always have great content!

[@Czech6ix]

I would have liked to have heard the discussion about the slings - Zero advocates them, which I can understand, but there was a darned good reason that slings weren't being used. Good subject matter, and well filmed and edited. Looking forward to the rest of it, and I hope this documentary project won't be abandoned.

Poachers are awful. Good job!

[@petertheduke1]

the people that banned rhino horn trade are worse

[@JohnSmith-mg5ve]

not as bad as the stupid people who beleive rhino horn will give you a boner a lot of foolish chinese eating sharkfin soup and rhino horn powder instead of viagra apperently getting boners in china is a massive problem.

[@TheNickCrank]

very nice guys! i remember watching zeros live video on facebook out on the range.

[@noisno.6512]

This is good. Can't wait to see Part 2.

[@Lame_Duck]

is there a way to make some kind of donation so that those guys can get some better gear ?

[@DarkPrice8]

Hello poachers, karma is looking for you :)

[@derKarl_stp]

so Karma has the names "Zero" and "Rangers trained by Zero" then ;-)

[@m1nayondaime]

I'd rather have Karma than instructor Zero.

[@Flintshadow]

some poachers dont have a choice, i wonder what'll happen to them

[@derKarl_stp]

Flint Saraphali several former poachers become rangers... because this is the only fair chance they have... the problem is... the actual poaching mafia does support different terrorist groups as well and that they shoot rangers just because they don't want to get arrested... if you have well trained rangers... that actually are better trained than the poachers...

[@Tact012]

Hahahaha. Those poachers'll get a lovely wake up call when these newly trained rangers start putting them down accurately.

[@Florida_War_Tribe]

That was pretty cool video. I would love to see more.

[@martinstiastny7679]

FN FALs may be old and archaic but so is the AK, they may be heavy and the ammunition capacity is nothing to sneeze at they both still work

[@spin3sixty]

thank you rangers!!!

[@AgGalaxy7]

Ive had enough, Just started making a mini seriese on how we can help this cause. We started making custom Rifle Survival Slings from 550 Para cord, and sending tese to the Rangers Free of Fuk'n Charge!!!!!! This is how we take back out planet from evil!!!

[@KincadeCeltoSlav]

I say We start a High Dollar Market Demand for Poacher Skulls!

[@williambryan6006]

This is very interesting. Keep it up.

[@blaw569]

How exactly is the FAL archaic it has aged far better than the AKM and most other AK variants?

[@HB-yp4ok]

Looking forward to the next installment. Being South African this is confidence building to see that our Rangers are getting the training they desperately need. Ultimately there will need to be political pressure to reduce the demand for something that you can get from grinding up your own finger nails.

[@phillipedebrito8775]

Glad to listen that poachers will have a harder life or death.

[@watersinging5211]

God bless this mission. Good work for our vets, isn´t it?

[@hautfenne]

I have a question funker Tactical, Can they buy military weapon in South Africa? How can we help this guys?

[@NothingMeek]

sign me up brother!

[@riverstyxarmory9782]

on the bright side of the weapon situation, the FAL may be an "antiquated" design, but it's faster to run than the AKs that terrorists (read assholes) are using, the ammunition is very powerful against people, even at a great distance, and especially good on overzealous predators as well as relatively cheap (come on US Govt, donate a few pallets of LC ammo to the cause at the least), and those rifles will keep working for a long time to come. I say upgrade the load bearing gear, but Zero will get them sorted out and fighting much better.

[@genelegear9932]

Keep up the good fight... RTR

I emailed the guy, and sending some packages to help.

[@JohnSmith-mg5ve]

well if you have the training you could go to a community that is near 1 of the big parks there and find a ranger station and ask but i dont think most of these guys speak english if you speak french that might help also i would guess you would have to prove your military training .

I hope I can join you up! Thats a great Job against disgusting people!

[@ChaimLeibHalbert]

It's important to fight the poachers and terror groups, but where are the rangers themselves from? We've had issues in the past where we gave training and arms to fight evil, only to find that the ones we aided turned their new weapons on us and our allies afterwards. I apologize if I cast aspersions on the innocent, but this is a serious concern anytime we give military training to anyone. Looks like a cool series, though, want to see more!

[@theonce-ler9198]

Get em good!

[@boogoesthedynomite]

Who is buying the rhino horn and the ivory? China is the leading purchaser of endangered animal parts from poached black bear in the US to poached tigers elephants rhinos if you follow the money it comes from China. So your cheep goods are not as cheep as you think they are.
