- In South Africa, determined people, both men and women, are coming together in a united effort to safeguard rhinos and other endangered wildlife from ruthless poachers. Armed with their courage and dedication, these protectors, some with military backgrounds or as volunteers, are rallying to defend the precious flora and fauna of national parks. Their mission: to combat this pressing threat and preserve the environment for future generations.
Director: Frédéric Cristea - บันเทิง
I’m a scout for the US Army. Currently talking with some friends who are also scouts about heading over there to help out once we are done with the army.
Thank you for your service.
Ace been done before and works
Please be safe
I'm former Canadian forces, I'm heading there next year. CROW (conservation Ranger operations Worldwide) is a good option for ex army guys. See you boys in the field
Respect to all those people who fight for animal protection. Both hurtful and moving...❤
There is a sense of bravery and risk taking in doing this calling..I respect all involved in preserving wildlife....thank you.
Thank you guy’s for everything you’re doing to save those beautiful creatures!
AMEN...🙏
Second that!!!!
Waste of money
@@THESEADOG82 how would you feel if someone shot your pet
@@THESEADOG82 and your a waste of air
I think these south african soldiers are very lenient. In my country Kenya they shoot on site. They dont negotiate at all.
WHERE IS THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY? THANKS TO THIS MAN SOME SPECIES COULD BE SAFE THANK YOU GUYS AND GOD BLESS YOU
The international community is to blame for the state South Africa is in right now, so take that as you will...
YES!!!!!!
The international community has its issues with poachers.
This is not about species. The white folks there are using animals for trophies hunting. They are so hypocritical it's a shame.
@@ca9968no it isnt
As a South African it hurts to see what our own people are doing to our native animals
I didn't see any black in the military... Are you happy about that?? Is Africa land . Why no black millitary person
@@SOLDIERMANCaeserho cares about the color of the people protecting the wildlife ?? When you want an army, you get professionals.. if Africans wanted to join & help, they could 🤷 also, ALL KINDS of white ppl born and live in Africa 😂
@@SOLDIERMANCaeser there is black military in South Africa & black Police officers & black President & black judges. It is a free country now a days.
@LocoDonFernandes yeah....and look how it's collapsing.
Are you white South African 😂😂
Absolutely heart breaking documentary. After years of unimageable slaughter of all species in all parks in Africa, last 2 decades saw growth in protection across the continent. It takes bands of small armies of rangers, armed to the teeth to start winning this war. The fences will get taller, those armies will get larger and more often shoot to kill will be the order of the day. The survival of this incredible, amazing wildlife is not about "rich, white tourists" but about the heritage of African people, and for the rest of the world. Forever grateful to all these people for their hard, dangerous work and commitment.

Amen,💯
Absolutely beautiful what these rangers and conservationists do. WE all need to support them!!!! We cannot let another species go extinct. Thank you to all that help in this cause.🙏🙏
sadly they missed the chance to write down a contact link where it is possible to donate sth. !
Well it's the least they can after their ancestors used to kill the wildlife by thousands for fun
I will support them when I know that the penalty for killing or mutilating a rhino is death.
@@crand20033 hope you also feel that way about murderers, rapists and pedophile
@@larsonfrederick7885 I am more passionate about wildlife that humans. Soon there will be nothing but humans in this world.
You guys are doing a awesome job 💪💪💪 love what you are doing thank all of you people.
Ex South African Deffence Force soldier mysèlf from way back in 1979 bush war and onwards and i can see you guys are doing a great job, ive known bout this poaching as long as i can rember from childhood days and love nature and all animals so i realy appreciate you guys 👍, if i was younger i would surely join you guys, im a brilliant shooter and never miss a shot to this day and everyboddy who knows me knows that, ive also done tons of bushwork on foot even though i was a ratel gunner because infantry is still infantry, and you guys are doing what i love and always wanted to do... good job here thank you my brothers, we need more like uall because these people will kill and destroy everything and before we know it theres fokkol left ✌
Did you go after the British royals and wealthy Americans who were killing this animals for fun?
legend
Well done!! Thank you for preserving and giving them the respect they deserve ❤
Been Born in Zambia and Grown up in Southern Africa these guys need all the financial help and tactical help please. They do a job no one else is willing to do...for you and your children's children. Please support them ....
To think one weeks salary of a footballer would help fund a couple of months for these guys…
Animals don't matter
@@mikeperkins4356 Sports entertainment > These idiots
Give me food , water and bullets....... The problem isn't the funding , it's the fact that poachers get caught and released so they can do it again.
People like me will make sure they never do it again.
А вы к соросу обратитесь,он же огромные деньги в войну вкладывает,на развал других стран.
My greatest memory of my childhood (when we lived in Dar es Salaam) was during the school holidays going on safari into the East African game parks to see thousands upon thousands of every wild animal, zebra, giraffes, elephants, buffaloes, lions, hippo, rhinos, every animal you could imagine, out on the Serengeti plains You could hardly see the horizon for so many animals, it was incredible, since that time I cannot visit a zoo and see wild animals confined in such an unnatural way. This was a very long time ago, some 60 years, I accept times change, but still it is so hard to accept such wonderful and magnificent animals living free are no longer with us. I deeply admire the people who work so hard to save these animals. Fantastic video.
Same beret. It breaks my heart seeing African wildlife cooped up in western zoos. Those animals belong on the plains roaming free in Africa
@@southernafricanboy4148 I agree with you. But rather a living African animal in a western zoo, than a tusk from dead African animal in a Chinese private home.
To note, I have never been to a zoo in my 33 year old life.

Muchas gracias por ser protectores de los animales 👏 Son todos héroes 🙏
Outstanding work. Thank you to all these amazing individuals
These guys needs drones for their surveillance work
Exactly! Somebody please send them some high end drones!!
That’s a fact💯
Gov don't help but they may help a few
These people need to stop harassing Africans in their own motherland
Exactly
Great documentary. Thank you to all the team members here .Keep up the good work. My OUR DEAR LORD BE WITH YOU ALL 🙏 ❤️
Massive respect to these guys and all that they do!
Despite so much criminal , there are people who cares others life too. So much respect you guys for safeguarding other life. Love you guys
I love what you do! You are true hero’s
The duty of a Wildlife ranger or a wildlife conservationist is a remarkable thing. My heart melted after watching the cruelty of poachers. I am a nature lover and always have wanted to be a wildlife conservationist. We live in a world where crime against humanity goes unnoticed and unpunished and is very unfortunate in the existence of The United Nations and The International Court of Justice. Given the fact threats we humans are dealing with, it is unlikely that these beautiful and innocent creatures could make it through to the next century because they are defenseless, can't talk and speak to the world about the pain, sorrows, and difficulties they are dealing with, nor they can rage any protest. Individuals and groups working for wildlife conservation can't make an impact on a broader spectrum worldwide because they are few in number and have minimum resources in the ever-increasing greed of innocent wildlife. existence of wildlife could only be ensured when international organizations responsible for wildlife conservation and all the governments of the world collectively make a determined and consolidated effort.
Problems for wildlife conservation highlighted in the documentary do not translate that one should not take part in this just cause.
oh my gosh who tf is gonna read this whole essay calm down dude there just animals
When you are really really poor in Africa, you will start leaving your morals out. easy to speak about cruelty from your laptop on the sofa of your nice home. When people have nothing, they resort to anything.
Absolutely right 👍 this point should be highlighted worldwide
@@Fuccu12 you’re just a human being, the most invasive species on the planet.
Armed guards make a big difference. The problem is not that they are few. The problem is that most countries on the Planet do not have armed wildlife guards that are on active patrol, but they rely on secondary evidence, like phone records, witness and illegal trade to catch the poachers, but by then, the damage is done. The army could ( in theory ) solve this problem instantly, because it's better to be poor than dead. They should have tanks and attack helicopters on patrol. See how many that would poach then. I bet, not more than 5 people on the entire continent and they would all be dead in a week.
Thank you for helping these beautiful animals
Thank God that there are people like this to help protect our natural world. God bless for all your efforts.
Salute the Green Warriors - we require such force across all countries - to save nature / earth.
Great work by the South African Conservation Team. African nations should definitely take this issue with the Chinese government. Education of the locals about the declining wildlife and alternate income stream, coupled with strong representation and warning to countries in SE Asia, by the African heads, is a must.
Well said That what they got to do the leaders off the African countrys "What The F... are u doing!!! If u don t stop this crazy insane killings off mothers earth's Oure precious wildlife We will take action!!!" Stop the corruption it s a money issue it hopeless?!? 😭💔
I agree with you guy to fight against Chinese because Chinese want rhino horns , elephants horns to be traditional medicine , they need for sale in china .
Not just chinese goverment. Some african countries also use this for their "muthi" aka witchcraft and other bs medicines
Great work killing people with nothing in the land they came from.
@@tolt1776 Elaborate
What wonderful people you are in looking after the Rhinos , keep up the good work , we are proud of the work you are doing, it is excellent 👍
Bless u guys more power to u. U are doing the world a huge favour..thank u
Real life heros keep strong 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
God will smile on them. However before that day comes, lets support them.
Thank you to all our rangers, for taking care of our wild animals. God bless you. Much aroha from Aotearoa.
Dankie julle,God bless you and nature.
These guys are heroes . Salute
Good job brothers, I am from Uganda here in east Africa and I would like to join you guys and iam X Iraq and Afghanistan service man under SOC/SMG
Well done, everyone. Y'all are some badasses. Protect those who can't protect themselves. Please let us know how to donate or support this crew
Salute to all great men for guarding those beautiful creatures.
May god watch over all of you and your beautiful animals. True heroes, all of you.
If you had to give me a choice between my firearm and my dog I'd take my dog.
This is a wonderful thing you all are doing. Keep up the good work and may God bless your efforts.
We all would
the third super secret option they don't want you to know about: you can in fact use your gun in this ultimatum to keep both
Thank you guys to do your duty for protect them..
Thank you Green cops, for your protection and all you do for the wildlife of our country. May God bless and protect you from all potchers and may God give you the enemies in your hands. I love you all and I sincerely wish you all the best I wish I could sign up and dedicate myself to your cause because I love all the animals more than any amount of money, and cruel people.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Keep it up guys. Resources are always an issue but you dj what you do with what you have. You guys are all legends.
We got the same issue down south with the abelone poaching,with little help from authorities.
I love documentaries like this!
WOW!!! It even gave me an extreme desire to face this challenge and go to ANIMAL PROTECTION with you!! Certainly I would dedicate myself body and soul to the protection of these wonderful beings who share the same soil, the same air and sleep under the same sky as we human beings. It's a shame that I'm only 16, otherwise I would have already gone to South Africa to work in this area a long time ago...
Same here
Do it! You only live once.
You have time. If you truly believe in this, make it happen. It is a worthy goal.

Human beings has finally been fully replaced to save all such Beasts!Perhaps bcs most are not inhumane,or in the least the latter same!
always enthusiastic in your duties ladies and gentlemen, this work is truly noble and I'm happy to see this, apparently there are still good people who care about animals and plants, I'm from Indonesia 🇮🇩
Good job. This is the way how to deal with poachers.
Thank you for your good work and dedication. God will bless you. Take care. Lots of love to you all.
Finally thank you guys for protecting these beautiful animals
This guys make good work....
Full support from finland 🇫🇮❤💖💕
Great love and dedication to protect the animals..wish you all safe and healthy.
Thank you for putting this documentary together and sharing it! People all over the world need to see this, and what is happening in this country of ours! Sadly our corrupt evil government allows this to happen as no doubt they get a backhand from it...I wish the Asians would leave our animals alone. There is a special kind of hell for people who harm animals like this and who allow for this sort of thing. Thank you once again to these incredible people/soldiers/groups who do what they do for these Rhino.
EXCELLENT JOB SOLDIERS!!!! KEEP WALKING!!!! GREETINGS FROM COSTA RICA!!!! PURA VIDA!!!!
Have watched numerous Safari Drives from Kruger Park, they don't allow comments about poaching. These men do the hard work the government won't do. They sacrifice so much to save the species that the corrupt government won't stop taking money from the Chinese. Thank you to every single man and woman involved in this job, very well done documentary. Wish there were shirts to but from this unit to help support them!
Well said Sweetheart U do an amazing job with the baby Rhinos ❤
Much admiration and respect from NZ for your preservation and conservation efforts, and I can only hope that the 'ecology warriors' (ConSol) have observed the use of drones in Ukraine and its war with Russia. If they can be afforded (donated?), drones other than for this documentary will track not only the rhinos (and other) but the poachers.
Sudáfrica es un de los países más ricos en recursos naturales, su belleza es inigualable, gracias a ustedes se puede preservar la naturaleza del país, "congtatulations" 🙏👍♥️
You guys are all true heroes... Great respect for you all... 🙏
we need people like this in Namibia
Let's go
Respect and thank you for your service
God bless you and your families thanks for what you do ❤
So sad to see what is happening keep up the great work you are doing 👍💪 good god will bless you
Que Deus dê forças e proteção para todas as pessoas que lutam para manter vivo a biodiversidade da África tão abençoada. Pessoas maravilhosas e corajosas a lidar com todos os perigos diários.
well done to all the rangers, conservationists and good people who give the future generation a chance to see how beautiful life is with animals. Animals are better than human beings and that is a fact.
❤❤❤ขอบคุณผู้พิทักษ์สัตว์ป่า ขอให้พระเจ้าคุ้มครองพวกคุณทุกคน ด้วยจิตคาราวะ🎉🎉🎉
You guys are just the best in what you do,keep it up guys its because of you that they will be saved bless you all
Thank you for your wonderful job, it shows there are still true human in this Planet. Thank you for restoring hope in Nature and in our hearts!
These guys are phenomenal! Not only is it an honorable trade, but it's perfect for former military the world over. There are thousands of British, Australian, American, and Canadian veterans who would be perfect for conservation and protection. Not sure what their policy is on non-South African personnel, but it's certainly good intent!
God bless you all for the fantastic job 🙏 thank you very much!
God bless you all for the fantastic job thank you very much,1
Parabéns aos soldados e os demais, por proteger a vida selvagem, merecem destaque. Bem hajam, todos.
Abraço de Portugal 🇵🇹
Beautiful people, doing great work! Fantastic documentary 🙏🏻🤍
Every nation must keep their beautiful things and put protection to all the belongings well and that's good to south Africa thanks
They protect the African animals
Not the Africans wake up
La stupidità umana non ha confini! Grazie per il lavoro che fate per salvare i nostri fratelli animali.Siete speciali!
Ricordati che gli Italiani Pagano x Andare in Africa a uccidere I leoni.
Thank you for your devotion and sacrifice to protect the Rhinos.
Would the use of drones equipped with night vision cameras not help to catch these poachers???
We need more people like you guys.
Let's go
this is the best thing I've seen on TH-cam in while :) good job guys keep it up!
Good Job heroes 👏
Good job heroes
These guys ability to track is insane!
Thank you for your dedication. I developed the first robotic deer to catch illegal spot lighting of deer in WV in 1986.
Ive always wanted to do something like they do and give a hand to protect wildlife. Good luck too you guys and great work.
then go do it.
@@jonw1958 maybe someday I'll be able to , as easy as "go do it" sounds it's not always that simple. Especially when you already have responsibilities where your at for the time being. But possibly one day I'll be able to just go do it.
@@jonw1958 I'm currently trying to research how to "go do it" and I just can't find anything. I've only been at it about an hour now but if you have any links I'd be super appreciative. Any organization that will take staff instead of just donations.
❤You guys are fighting for a noble cause. I have nothing but respect and wish you the very best in preserving wild life for posterity.
Huge respect to you guys. These poachers have no regard for animal lives. Would love to join your program.
Poachers are to animal life what most people do to human life in the same region of the world pretty much in many ways everyday!So what's the main surviving difference in merit!
geweldige documentaire deze mensen riskeren hun leven voor dit pracht dier, en andere dieren in leven te houden. ik vind het helden
Bravo merci pour votre magnifique travail pour le protection animal encore bravo pour votre boulot 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍force et honneur a vous.
😢My type of documentaries.. Such a beautiful story. Keep the fight going.

God bless and be with all protecting our wildlife, we thank you all so much!!
I'd love to join this group of heroes. I'd definitely enjoy my work 😎, just real life call of duty.
I have empathy for the wildlife and disadvantaged people alike.
Vous étes les vrai heros de se monde ! un grand respect
Thank you for saving Africa
God bless this Army
Honourable work.
Animals need protection just as much as human lives, keep on my brothers, I salute you all 🤟God bless and protect all of you for your work
Please provide all the legitimate contact and banking details, so that we can support our brave protectors!!!
How can the protect them with the justice system is corrupt and let's them go for money? The only way to protect the rhino is to kill the poachers.
Respect à tous ces hommes et femmes qui lutte pour une nature menacé !!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏👍
These are real hero’s! God bless you guys!
Our prayers are with you all. All the way from Papua New Guinea
Me gustaría ir a ayudar en contra de los cazadores....mi respeto y admiración a ustedes que protejen a los animales ❤
