- Could the Garden of Eden actually exist on Earth? The diverse landscape of Botswana, located in southern Africa, boasts an abundance of wildlife. The Kalahari desert covers much of the country and serves as a refuge for animals. The Okavango River flows into the Kalahari desert instead of reaching the ocean, creating a lush oasis in the midst of the desert. With a population of 2 million, Botswana has successfully protected its stunning wildlife, offering a sanctuary for elephants and other species. It may one day become their final refuge.

We have always co-existed with elephants and wildlife. Other people came and started killing our animals and called it trophy hunting and now they are back saying they are teaching us how to co-exist with the animals.
The problem though, Mr Ngwenya, is that "we" -- whoever that refers to -- did not document the co-existence you mention. So perhaps "we" should not take umbrage at a PhD student writing a thesis on these matters. She does not come across as someone with an attitude of superiority over the natives, so let "us" grant her leave to visit "our" backyard and write her PhD thesis on matters that "we" have been aware of since time began.
Other people : whites
What is Marvellous about you , the problem is to many People, and 2° they can't feed each other , that end in a desise, call : corrupción, tróphy hunting ,,? Money talk .That it is.
@@diegoandresterzaga4380 Get your facts right
1.Africa is way bigger than China and India combined but with a smaller population that both
2.Out of 54 countries less than ten suffer from food insecurity due to drought and conflict
3.The Europeans are responsible for whipping out more than 60% of African wildlife during the colonial era by unsustainable hunting practices.(documented)
@@thembadube9589 Everything u just said is wrong..There are many locals with PHD's on areas surrounding and even expanding beyond her thesis..I believe what frustrates Marvellous Ngwenya is when people come to find systems that are the best in the world and somehow project a narrative that they are the saviors and even have the guts to try to take a lead role in what should be the coexistent relationship of the people with their animals..These are our animals our pride so stop trying to imply u know better or care more..Other than that it was beautiful to see my beautiful country in ur channel
I was born and I live in Botswana. So happy to watch this documentary while I'm at work in Gaborone. Well done Tempee for your work here with the elephants 🐘 👏🏼
Do you truly believe Eden is there.
@@alltalknoplay3235 No 😂
@@cheese_wrld You fine
Happy to see such a beautiful Neighbour.
regards from Namibia
Amazing documentary about elephants in Botswana. Great narration and very clear video. Tnx4sharing 👍
Marvelous job.
Best Documentary.
Keep it up.
Yes, it's Botswana is the heaven on earth 🌎. Thank you for the beautiful video
Watching from Nigeria, I love botswana and it's conservation method
GOD BLESS BOTSWANA MAY THE ANIMALS REMAIN SAFE AND THE PEOPLE WHO CARE FOR THEM.
Yes it's part of the start of the garden of Eden,from chobe river to Zambezi river,Victoria falls all the way in Okavango delta ,five countries stretching to Kruger national park up to where the real garden of heaven is in Africa , Serengeti/Maasai mara,tsavo national parks,up to Nairobi,meru and laikipia /samburu national parks which goes inside Ethiopia national parks including the Simeon mountains.That is the world's most famous places to visit.The real garden of Africa where you see real animals.Don't forget the famous congo forest, Elizabeth national park in Uganda and kagera gorilla national parks of Rwanda.All these places and more in these countries and neighboring countries is real garden of Eden and hope in Africa.
Shhh do not tell the mutants that
What a beautiful documentary! And, truly, this IS the Garden of Eden. Namaste.
😅I was initially confused by all the outrage in the comments, until the narrator said this woman would like to convince the inhabitants they can coexist with the elephants. What do you mean? How do you fly into a country that's extremely protective of its wildlife, that kills poachers on sight, with extensive laws on hunting, a country that elephants themselves flee too to seek haven, and try to convince the inhabitants to coexist with the elephants? What do you mean? I'm floored, seems the saviour complex not only still exists, but is completely detached from reality. You would think if she was such a great force of nature, she would be doing something about the wildfires and vanishing species of Australia.
Amen

We co-exist with elephants in Victoria Falls, we always have they feed on 🥭 mangoes etc in our backyards on a daily basis
So many parts of the world do co-exist but the worry is what will happen with the bulge in human population. Elephants require vast tracks of land to graze and humans are busy urbanizing. That is the dilemma.
@@BS-kl9yf At many places elephants continue to coexist around human population.
I am from India and India has approximately 30,000 to 40,000 wild elephants who continue to roam vast tracts of forest despite being in one of the most densly populated country.
@@krishnkant9477 nobody said they don't. That's exactly what my statement implied. We are talking about the future. In the past, these elephants used to travel from Botswana to Angola. Ruma National Park used to be the same ecosystem with the Mara and now no elephants exist at Ruma. Mara river that supports the seventh wonder of the world was drying up due to human activity up stream until reforestration was done. In short, elephant conservation issue is not a local idea just because you are from india. IUCN has listed the Indian elephant in the redlist which means they ain't safe in India either. The African elephant is different and faces more challenges than the Asian species. Between 2019 and 2022, Kenya has lost over 5000 elephants due to prolonged drought. 10 years ago, this loss stood at 2000. Elephants are being restricted and not able to move where water and vegetation is. Would you prophesize what will happen 10 years later in such regions? That is why Botswana is being used as an example of proactive measures to sustain the future of elephants. The African elephant species is no longer thretened by poachers alone, they are dying much faster because they cannot find food and water. And where they can, there are complaints from surrounding population.
@@BS-kl9yf I agree with your concern.
There are human elephant conflicts in India too but compared to African elephants, very few die due to conflicts and poaching.
I have also read that African elephant population has decreased by more than half a million in past to decades while Indian elephants have gradually increased from 18,000 in 1990 (when poaching was high in India) to around 30,000 today.
@@krishnkant9477 your source of information about African elephants is wrong particularly Botswana, we have the highest number of elephants in the world, there is a reason for that.

"You will own nothing and you will be happy" says the WEF docu
Amazing, my 🇧🇼..
Nice 👍
Well, if you consider that 250K is todays total elephant population compared to a 250 million population just 125 years ago, someone needs to save the species from extinction.
How do you think they became extinct?
@@rangerstrade2268 Are they?
@@barbaragalbreth4429 They were endangered. How do you think they became endangered?
@@rangerstrade2268 Yes they're endangered because we humans have killed millions of them for the ivory trade and we've taken away most of their habitat.
Not we humans, we Africans are hunter and gathers, hunting comes from cold places where food doesn't cultivate
thanks to subtittle
Beautiful country! It is missing just one thing... mountains!
Has mountains
@@Periot_Baddie hills not mountains still a beautiful country
Mountains? For cavemen?
Bravo, Botswana!
the little cute Australian trying to convince African that they can coexist with animals (cute little elephants)! How cute. Here in Greece we have a little saying: Follow me, my grandad, to show you to your vineyards and all your belongings.
How ironic, I wonder what happened to all their animals
beautiful place ever to exist

Lovely story on the young man building a new hut.
Government should limit or ban housing expansion into wild areas.
We have done extremely well when it comes wildlife conservation
Very true, Rowland. Botswana has done well in many other aspects too. Whenever I visit Botswana (which I do often) from my country, South Africa, just across the border, I admire what the people and government of your country have achieved. Low crime rate, politeness and welcoming people (who take no nonsense, I hasten to add), cleanliness, and a general environment of calmness.
It is not by accident that Botswana has become a beacon of hope on a continent that is, sadly, not characterised by good governance and peace. My country could learn a great deal from Botswana; starting with a will by government to eradicate corruption.

True
Our Botswana, Pula!
It depends on who will be the manager. Hardly will it be a heaven with the current management.
Av always felt sorry for landlocked countries like Uganda and Botswana, but I see they still have something going on for them- Uganda with their Gorillas and Botswana with their elephants.
BOTSWANA IS BEAUTIFUL..THATS" TRUE. I"VE BEEN THERE MUTIPLE TIMES WORKING AT BOT-ASH AND EACH TIME WE DROVE THROUGH BY CAR. THE WILD IS JUST UNBELIEVEABLE. UNTAMED AND FREE. AS YOU CROSS SOME ROADS YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL AS A WARTHOG.OR ELEPHANT, WELL ALMOST ANY KIND OF WILD, CAN ALL OF A SUDDEN CROSS THE ROAD. A FEW TIMES WE CAME ACCROSS EAGLES ON THER SIDE OF THE ROAD DOWN ONTO PRAY AND NOT ONE BUT TWENTY TO THIRTY OF THEM. WE ALMOST SAW ALL THE TYPES OF WILD EXEPT FOR LIONS AND TIGERS. EVEN AS WE DROVE THROUGH TOWARDS THE ZIMBABWEAN BORDER THE SCEANARY WAS JUST OUTOF THIS WORLD. BEAUTIFUL. WHILE DRIVING THROUGH, WECAME UPON CARS,RUSTED AND LEFT ALONG THE ROAD AS IT WAS TOO FAR AND EXPENSIVE TO CALL FOR SUPPORT. NIGHTIME WAS GREAT WHILE YOU'RE IN BED AND CAN HEAR THE GROWLING OF THE HIENAS AROUND OUR CAMP. THE BLUEWILD BEAST LOOKED LIKE ANTS COMING DOWN THE VELD. MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF THEM..... EACH TIME WHEN WE HAD A JOB TO DO DOWN THERE WE DROVE AROUND ON THE SALT-PANS, WICH STRETCED FOR MILES AND MILES, JUST AS FAR AS THE EYE COULD SEE. I WILL SURELY REMEMBER THOSE TIMES FOR AS LONG AS I LIVE.
👍❤️
Well the Kalahari bush people are the most genetic diverse humans, meaning that we all descend from them.

yo mama know abbasainia??
i got your garden of eden right here yeh u tell em cleates
worked there for 2 years, happy now that its over. the coutry is going downhill, like south africa. its sad.
hahaha..in your dreams white man
Botswana is heaven on earth.
I've always believed that Botswana is the Eden of earth.
❤️❤️❤️
Yes please it is a lovely country my beloved country for sure where u get to see animals in their own territories Not Caged 🤞❤️❤️
Suzanna Maria Emmanuel reveals Lemuria to be the garden of eden; why it’s relevant today, and what happened.
and in all your amazement you never give praise to the almighty Yahvah
JUST GORGEOUS !!!! VERY POOR PEOPLE BUT KIND.ALMOST NO CRIME AT ALL ,BUT DON'T EXEED THE SPEED LIMMIT WHILE DRIVING, BECAUSE IF YOU GET CAUGHT, YOU'LL HAVE TO PAY ON THE SPOT OR FACE BEING JAILED. TRY YOUR BEST ALSO TO DRIVE CAREFULLY, BECAUSE IF YOU KILL SOMEONE;S ANIMAL, YOU HAVE TO PAY THE SUM HE WANTS FOR IT ALSO ON THE SPOT. JOBS ARE VERY SCARSE, AND THER ONLY TIME THE MOST MEN CSAN WORK IS WHEN BIG COMPANIES ARE HELDING SHUTDOWNS TO STRIP THEIR MACHINES.DO REPAIRS AND REBUILDING THEM. ALL WORK IS DONE UNDER SUPERVISED EXPERIENCED ENGINEERS FROM SOUTH AFRICA.AND GERMANY. OTHER COUNTRIES MIGHT ALSO BE INVOLVED, BUT WHEN STARTUP COMES, THEIR MUST NOT BE ANY HICKUPS.

Garden of Eden, is a metafor for a 'Mental Condition', in the Plant-Kingdom.
The Adam/Eve-myth, is about Whole-Sexe-plants become Half-Sexe-plants, (Beings)
in the Middle of the Plant-Kingdom.
Adam-Beings is Whole sexe, - Eve-Beings is Half-sexe, Males and Females.
Springtime in Africa must be lovely. No place in the world is it more evident than in Africa where as many innocent baby animals are ripped art and eaten alive. Not the garden of Eden.
Africa good without the africans
The lessons we learn from Disney,
How are your elephants doing in your garden of Eden?
@@revoniamabutho9343 good question
its a wildlife garden of eden unrivalled anywhere on the planet
👍
Maybe
The garden of Eden as Genesis have it, is spiritual.
Animals lived among humans for centuries before damn 'colonization' and 'modernization' ever came. It's not new. Tracing how locals did it will add great value to your study. Secondly, 'colonizers' and vistors introduced poaching to Africa for selfish gains. It wasn't an African idea.
Very true
Remind me again why the !Kung "bushmen" live in the harshest part of that region.
Then bring me up to speed on what happened to the "Hottentots".
Of course you are familiar with the centuries of inter-tribal slaughter that left vast areas of the Veldt littered with human remains for decades..
The inevitable clash between the southward-moving Kwa Zulu and motley bands of European adventurers, ALL looking for "Lebensraum", is not even well publicized. POLITICIZED? yes; but NOT well known outside "academic" and folk-history circles.
They should construct a huge overpass for them. The road is DANGEROUS !!
They should stop to let them pass, humans are the ones who need an overpass
Put an overpass for us humans. Man we are an arrogant species.
Whitr pll
Didn't humanity began in Botswana? It could be.
Is this really the exact ancestral Birthplace of Mankind
YES. Botswana is the garden of eden on earth
Also elephants & lions originated in Botswana why didn’t she say that they love not telling our culture right
It could be Botswana or Toledo, Ohio.
i heard oil was recently discovered there, near the Okavango and they wanna drill it, its gonna fuck up the eco system
No it won't....Botwana people need money from the oil to better their lives and also be able to protect nature
@@mpendakiswahili3053 protect your natural resources
if there oil the common man on the street wont share in the wealth
Elephants are very family orientated and dependent on your viewpoint, taking into account the moving tectonic plates, it could quite well have been the birth place of humans, certainly not Israel
The Korean DMZ should be a wildlife park... Untouched for 70+ years by humans. Just need peace and reunification (China, Russia and the US need to end the war)
So it's not the garden of eden on mars then ?.. How Redickuls
How's the reefer there?
Typically not great. Brown and seedy. I’m sure if you know somebody you can get good stuff, but as a tourist you probably won’t.
Not likely
it is on earth
Sadly since this film was made the Botswanan Govt has allowed the trophy-hunting of elephants again.
put pressure on them and shame them
job done

I thought the Garden of Eden WAS on Earth. Let me check my Bible...yep, Earth. Huh.
Botswana is not Eden but park of the land of Canaan
Somalia
Garden of eden was destroyed by the great flood nothing left...
Don't make these animals live with humans! Let them be!
The whole of Earth is the garden if Eden. We may be banished again. Our knowledge is destroying it!
No, we will never be banished again, as Jesus was sent as the last Adam to undo all the wrong that was done by Adam. Rom 5:12-21
no i don't think i could as the bible is just hopeful story's. well i mean come on 'so do u believe that humans have only been walking the earth for 8 thousand years as the bible says n thats just ta start wit my child ya.. would u like me to continue?
God is Spirit my friend and so is His word. The garden of Eden therefore is not a graphical one as your carnal mind wants you to believe.
His word is full of hope, not hopeful story's as you have it. Please don't continue, as you are only talking in your sleep.
Africa could be the garden of Eden, but we all know why that's not going to happen.
Why, please enlighten us...
The garden if Eden by reading the bible should be located in Southern Iraq. The garden was watered by 4 rivers. Euphrates, Tigris,Pishon and Gihon. Close to the Persian Gulf.
You believe everything in that bible?? Lol. All those 4 rivers are found in Africa, one is the longest in the whole world, one the deepest in the whole world with natural resources and fish species that cant be found elsewhere on earth. Another one forms the most magnificent water falls (longest) in the world. The last one goes through a desert providing a vital source of livelihood to people living there. The ones in the gulf are just a modern myth. Have you ever heard of a region called Tigray? You know where its found? Well, thats where the real Tigris river is found. Thank you
@@Justampleboy your right
Other than being cool to look at, what does the elephant contribute exactly?
They are a keystone species. They’re integral to the ecosystem.
I bet they contribute more than some humans. Each species is there for a reason.
@@HoneyBumblebee300 Like what? Please be specific
@@jessepitt How? Please be specific
@@ainokea4u Elephants are majestic, intelligent animals. People in some countries use them as 'workers'. They contribute to the econony via tourists who come to see them. They add to the beauty of the nature. Human beings use their intelligence to destruct more than construct. I may be wrong but I get the feeling that you think just because an animal should not exist because it does not contribute anything. Because of humans lots of species are either extinct or on the path to extinction.
“Human development” lord hurry up and rid these invasive species from Africa and the larger world as well. Just sick
Garden of Eden is guarded by Angels
So is Botswana 🇧🇼
Whats her net worth?
But the Garden of Eden is connected to Israel" this researcher did not Explain how elephants would coexist with humans as neighbours!
the garden if of another world and not of earth.....wild beasts roam around earth that time...even if, let's say that the first man were in africa, what sin are you talking about that brought them to abomination? the first man were ape-like and so was wild and would kill at any moment provoked. Garden of Eden was a paradise where everything was friendly and "heavenly". when Adam and Eve committed a sin, we are kicked out, literally kicked out from that place. I even doubt that our appearance is like this, because the two were cursed by God and Eve was punished that she will experience a hard labor in giving birth...

Lol it’s known the garden of Eden was somewhere in Mesopotamia… current region around Iraq or thereabouts. Stop misleading people
y'all come there to care more for our animals than humans in those areas. That stupid Botswana's government need to put the need and well-being of her people first than trying to entice and please these people who come there purely for pleasure and making money out of these animals.
