"Wild Ways"

New, 4/20/2016, Science & Technology, Documentary

An innovative approach to conservation creates pathways, like overpasses and protected tracts of land, to allow endangered animals to move safely around human activity; the elephant highways that span five nations in Southern Africa are featured.

At times I regret not having a TV to watch a show that interests me.....

 

I was just in Southern Kruger/Sabi Sands in South Africa last week and had been in the same area 12 years ago.

 

The over population of Elephant has decimated the place in terms of trees as they have girdled almost everything you see. That change in ecosystem has cascading effects across the area now turning it into bushveld.

 

The greenies there are up in arms about a plan to cull 20,000 by parks and making it difficult to make hard decisions based on carrying capacity.

 

On a better note they just zapped a few Elephant  poachers up on the trails from Botswana-Caprivi Strip-Angola, and a another Rhino poaching ring leader in the Kunene region of Namibia were I hunted in 2014.
