- Criminal gangs backed by wealthy foreign investors are making poaching big business in Africa.
British soldiers are hoping to tackle the issue by helping rangers trying to save elephants and rhinos in Malawi.
Radio 1 Newsbeat reporter James Waterhouse travelled to the country to join bush patrols as they look to stop a practice which has long threatened many species across the continent.

Poachers: *hunt illegally*
Hunters: *hunt poachers*
Poachers: "Wait, that's illegal"
Serves them right
That’s what they get
Hunters: not if we win😁
The hunters are being hunted!
Reminds me of those ranting about people traveling the speed limit in the left lane while passing. Move over, you're breaking the law for blocking the lane! :same person breaks laws by traveling well over the posted speed when the lane opens:
Do they actually shoot the poachers tho? Because that’s my dream job then
Kajee, they dont carry rifles for no reason, also my dream job
Shadow Archer Лучник теней Yeah but the thing is that, for example, Swedish soldier carry rifles, do they use them? Hardly ever, think I wanna go for Afghanistan as a Royal Marine, don’t wanna risk going to Africa and not being able to shoot poachers
Shadow Archer Лучник теней But it’s still an option, I love animals and I hate poachers, would love to take them down
Shadow Archer Лучник теней That’s exactly what I want to evade, a boring life, and I hope your life turns out great, man, but the thing is I’m not too bothered about where I fight, I’m bothered about who I’m fighting, and if I get to fight talibans then that’s great, I would love to take the poachers but I’m just not certain that the army is allowed to shoot them, I know the mercs do, but not sure about the army, I wanna join to fight tho, and then maybe sas or sbs, depends on family, too
Healthy World Thanks, mate, will do
Bless you guys. Thank u for protecting this wonderful creatures
Nahum Pasion de Erio well said good on you
I am a proud member of the South African Anti Poaching Unit based in KZN. I've been helping to end Poaching since September last year, and I have to say everyone can help. We seriously need all the help we can get, there are volunteer programmers around such as Protrack which will allow people to volunteer with the Unit. You don't get paid but you will be doing a good cause. Please everyone who can help is welcome, we really need it, thanks x.
I have a question for you.
I have previous professional military experience including conflict zone deployment, and wish to make good use of it doing anti poaching work.
Please answer this:
- As a European (no citizenship in any African nation), what organisations can I join?
- The ProTrack alternative in South Africa - I read as a volunteer you are not allowed a firearm? (I'm concerned with that because of self-defense if confronted with armed poachers).
An Ha the fact that you are a European citizen makes things a bit complicated. I started as a volunteer at protrack and worked my way into the full time job over time. However I'm not sure if it would work for European citizens. I would suggest you still give the volunteer programme a try and then maybe speak to some of the guys there about becoming a full time member.
Ok, Thank you.
Will the volunteer program allow me to go on patrols after doing the training courses?
An Ha the volunteer programme does involve patrols , but I suggest you speak to protrack themselves regarding more information.
Ok. Thanks for your answers.
thank god there are people like u.
The Good Lord will reward these hunters highly.

Where do I sign up?
bird Samora right here
Just go to Africa
In africa
Come to sing up in somalia hhh
I've been a hardcore bushman my entire life. The past few years in my home country has become overwhelming for poachers. Moose, elk, deer. I understand the game isnt close to extinction like the rhino but the way it's going, they will be in 10 years.
Only if we let the scum of the earth do their evil and all good people on earth will see that they do not destroy everything they touch and I bet on that.
Video old but right now real time. a poacher was trampled on by a elephant and eaten by lions in Africa. Second time poachers have gotten what they deserve. 6 months ago, pride of lions on a private game reserve that had protected rhinos ate a bunch of poachers. They just found pieces of the bodies. The animals are there and protecting the rhinos. The elephant heard and saw the poacher and hunted him and stomped on his ass. That elephant could have had history with poachers. He knew that dude was up to no good and needed to be stopped
why make this up
Liar
Dumb ass Alex troll it made world news about poachers being eaten by lions. Maybe if you knew how to use google you can see it's old news big dummy.
Animals must have been feeling safe around these beautiful rangers. ❤️❤️❤️
-Butterfly- xxx this isn’t even about the animals... it goes beyond just killing animals.
There wouldn't be any poachers if there weren't any people willing to buy those products. The market needs to be shut down, not the poachers (that ofc is easier said than done)
Candy Chip the Market is China. Good luck.
Or just bomb all of Asia and China
@@nicholaspesa696 well said, too many of them anyways
Floppyfish288 China is in Asia you dumbass
Floppyfish288 why not also bomb the whole world for eating animals
Wait.. so hunters.. For Hunters?
Poachers aren’t hunters, hunters are actually good for wildlife because they provide massive amounts of income that is what actually pays for anti poaching teams, plus the number of animals legally hunted does not damage population and certain species are not hunted and so on, poachers hunt illegally and hunt illegal species, these guys are hunting poachers
It's quite ironic that the American biologist isn't out in the bush with a rifle defending the animals but has the nerve to question the British Soldiers skills in teaching the Rangers to.
My exact thought, the British soldiers are training the Rangers on a tactical level, which will help the Rangers do their jobs better.
Poacher: “Why are the trees speaking Rhodesian?!”
I would love to join up! So down
@@nickname007ify Except there is nothing about joining them, but is about them asking help in different areas like armor, technology, etc.
To Bad you cant just snap a finger like thanos to wipe out the bad in this world
Killing most of us is a significant good for the world for sure
Wipe out bad period. Ain't no "the"
@@lawrencemorris2261 wtf is wrong with using proper grammar?
Who is thanos?
@@mingxiazhang9470
He said "ain't" it's obvious
Why are rhino horns so expensive if you want keratin just collect your nail clippings.
Cause they market it as if it's magical or something. The whole market for these things is a fraud
pls stop poaching rhinos and elephant
hair is not medicine you guys need to understand that . its like killing me for my hair pls stop .
FIFA 18 Gaming how much is your hair
the more you talk about your hair the more i want it fifa
nonofosuperman congrats you stopped poaching 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Yep it’s just keratin wich you can get elsewhere and much better elsewhere
they dont care ivory is also a luxury resource with great power and cultural symbol especialy in asia
Excellent move by the Park authorities to involve the British army in training the frontline staff's in warfare. In most of the countries where wildlife Park's exist especially in the South African continent and in Asia also Siberia forest departments are not well equipped or trained in tactical warfare which not only boost their morale but also keeps them a step ahead of the poachers. Nepal is a shining example of brilliant conservation, their Wildlife Park's are protected by the Army and the villages around the periphery gets a big chunk of monetary benefit from wildlife tourism. And the South Asian countries like China, Vietnam and Thailand have to put a complete ban on the usage of wildlife parts. Also they should incorporate the significance of wildlife in their education system and phase out their age old beliefs in medicinal properties from wild animal parts.
Lol they are infiltrating the system . Nobody needs them in Africa . Probably in the cover they are creating secret armies .
I have a lot of respect for the British Army and wish to join myself. However after spending time with an anti-poaching training academy in SA I can see that the training that the British army provides is likely limited to things such as first aid. The way in which an anti poaching ranger must operate in the field is nuanced, subtle and quite different to those skills and tactics that a modern army trains it's troops in. I think the above footage displays quite well that this is, perhaps, more of a training exercise that benefits the British soldier over than the ranger. Despite this, its a fantastic thing to collaborate and learn from one another and adding much needed boots on the ground.
Well yeah it’s most likely training but I think British troops like any western military would be more than capable of anti poaching, troops are trained in all sorts of environments and conditions, there is a reason the British army is training them, it’s because they themselves know how to do it, it wouldn’t make sense to have a military that didn’t know how to do a job but then train others on it
Have you joined the British Army yet Harry? There are a myriad of things the Military brings besides First Aid. Communications; small capable handheld equipment and base stations are critical. Intelligence capabilities to track networks; Strategies for winning the hearts and minds of the people who know who the poachers are. UAVs to fly reconnaissance missions and, of course, the smaller things like hiring drivers and fixers in the local communities during their deployment. Although I commend your time spent with the anti-poaching academy, I believe your comments are based on limited exposure to the British Army's light infantry capabilities in terms of patrolling (navigation, communication, stalking, camouflage, observation, terrain analysis). I think units like the Rifles, Paras or the Commandos are where a young man who is looking for an adventurous youth are the best option. Good Luck.
@@boomer6611 thanks for your reply, I think you're right my comment was purely based on what I had experienced and what I had assumed the British army could offer rather than knowledge of their actual capabilities. I have joined the military now and I would therefore also revise my opinion on this topic a little too!
@@harrylenton3166 Stay in the fight brother! SUA SPONTE! (3rd Rangers)
If the Rangers engage in a firefight with well-armed poachers who are often mercenaries, having the Brits there is huge!!!
Angus bullen is the most British name I’ve ever seen lmao
Hope one day to join them in patrolling the parks. Godspeed, rangers.
Well done great job from both the soldiers and the game wardens respect to you all.
Can i poach for poachers??
Yeas and they wil congratulate you and help because you will be of benefit to the earth 🌏🌎🌍🦏🐘🦁🦍🐯🐺🐆🦒🌿
😵🔫😤
If you got that much more to move into Africa like that throw me a bone will ya
Me to and YES🌿
The hunters become the hunted
They are poachers not hunters
poachers are not a Hunters they are a meat and trophy
Bloodborne...
@@temrinet5421
In Africa they are one and the same. Both are bad for our wildlife
Imagine trying to hunt some innocent animals and you hear: “whats init blud?” And gets vibe checked by some dudes who drink tea. Jokes aside, hats off to these men and women for protecting the wildlife.
pochers should be locked up and key thrown away and important of illeagal amimals stop
They tried that in kenya but it didn't work so now they're applying the death penalty 😊😊
KILING AND HUNTING THE POACHERS 😁🌏🌎🌍🦏🐘🦁🦍🐯🐺🐆🦒🌿
@Dylan Abernathy it is not known where they went🤢🤮
@@dawidm08277
They flew back to Europe or Asia
easy fix any 1 who poach shoot at sight
There Is too much land and too much corrupt countrys that Will allow anyone who pays an easy and chill hunt
Just watched this without a TV licence feels like a win to me
Get 'em all. Please get Walter Palmer next time he is over there, too.
We humans are like a growing cancer cells
@Gappie Al Kebabi he's right
It breaks my heart that people cannot make ends meet so they poach. I'm sure so many wouldn't if they didn't have to.
Also sad how big the market is for animal poaching. It's only because there is a huge demand for poached animals that it's even profitable for them in the first place
That is a part, but only a part of the problem being solved here.
The causes of poaching must be tackled in the same time.
Keep it up, guys. Great work
thanks guys
Truly noble and just. This video deals more with how they go about tracking animals. It's understandable but hardly matches the title of the video. "Poacher Hunters" is basically a plight video.
I'll take one poacher skin coat, please
Real life heroes
THIS IS WHAT I LIKE thank you so much ☺
Killing Poachers ... where do we sign up
The numbers of poachers roting in bushes must be quite high, cause don't tell me they arrest them everytime
I hope there's no bag limit on poachers.
Damn these guys have a seriously awesome career, mad respect to the Africans!
Poaching is part of our political economy problem, people poach to survive. If you cannot stop the root cause of poaching let people do what they can to survive, even rangers understand this but cannot say it for fear of losing their jobs. In other places conflict with wildlife justifies poaching, you dont expect victims of elephants to love them, the tusk is just a bonus.
Maybe these African counties will develop in future so that its people at grassroot level start to love and appreciate wild animals like westerners but until that happens there will be no more elephants and rhinos just like there is no much wildlife in developed countries.
Humans are not more valuable.
Please don't get hunting confused with poaching!
When they banned hunting in Kenya in the mid seventies they had a rhino population of over 20,000? Today they have far less than 1,000 rhino!
The white rhino population in South Africa went from less than 100 in 1950 to approximately 18,000 currently. South Africa is a Pro Hunting Country!
This video is about an anti poaching team on a game reserve. Game reserves are pro hunting. The hunting is what pays for the team.
I don't blame the poachers they live in corrupt nations with very low wages.
Wealthy foreigners pay the owners of these parks to hunt down elephants and rhinos for trophies
Majority of the clients are chinese, and south east Asian
Low wages is no excuse.
Lol disgusting excuse, I’m not a millionaire but I don’t do that.
Yu Suzuki The Chinese.
I would die before killing a lion or a elephant, no escuse
Poachers: hunt and hurt animals
Rangers : hunt poachers . I😍 animals
Bless these guys
Can we not also cut this problem off where it begins? If big business could invest in the area, create jobs that pay. Steve Jobs said you have to make it easier for people to do the right thing, than to do the wrong thing. If people live comfortably doing the right thing, there won’t be poachers… well, there will be less of them for you to arrest, and more animals that won’t be hunted.
I wonder if they have drones. They could very easily scout a lot of ground in just minutes, and that would scare off any poachers.
The IAPF are using drones in Mozambique and Zimbabwe I believe, they're doing amazing work.
Stopping poaching goes beyond chasing them down with guns, that won’t stop poaching and in fact that makes it more lucrative for poachers.
Brilliant keep up the great work
Great 👏
Not only for generations to come, we owe it.
Thank u very much
Very cool, greetings from Indonesia my brother
How can I join this team? I salute you gentlemen.
U are the real heroes
The imagery of the rhino slightly peeking through the twigs is really majestic
GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU.
Lot's of love Brothers ....
When i'm fully grown in sha Allah (By the will of God) I am going to Join you
Stay blessed ♥️
Thanks for heard working
Poachers are that one breed that should be hunted into extinction.
Fantastic efforts guys♥️ stay safe and sound and dont let these horrible sickening pigs win. the fight for conservation and animal welfare must continue guys😢please stay safe 🙏😉❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I wanted to sell poachers kidneys so much. 😏
Good job guys...
Remember now Tommies here you have to shoot first and ask questions later. This is Africa, no laws here with the bad guys. I love how others have to come show us how to do the jobs.
These guys are amazing
The poachers seeing this must be so jealous. Rhinos charging at you! :)
I would love this job so much
You guys are doing great job out there, I hate poachers pls make them feel the pain that poor rhino feels when they are being poached, cut their noses.
👮🏻♂️🥇🤗👏👏👏👏🙏 Whit All Do Respect Greetings To "The Instructors & Park Rangers" Thanks For Your Great Work God Bless You All Brothers & Sister's ,Thanks For Making A Better World For All Of Us To Enjoy. Sincerely Jose Luis Silva From San Diego CA USA.
Where do I sign up
Warriors great respect
I would love to join these guys!!
Young lads from British forces can be a moderating influence on anti poaching brutality. At least in the short term? This sort of thing could be good for counter insurgency training if done right.
Well. A few drones with camera and grenade can do the work. Search the area and as soon you see the poachers release the grenade!
Or just equipped the drone with a gun
Completely against poaching, but how about doing something for the people who live in the area and investing tourism profits back into infrastructure for them... some people on here are just hunting the animals to eat.
Thankyou all team members ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Seve the elephant 🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘
What about the Child Hunters!? BBC?
Why not use drones? They can cover much larger area and cheaper!
The problem does not come from poachers, the problem is customers of ivory and rhinoceros horns and these customers are in Asia and the main hub is China and Hong Kong
Anyone else super disappointed when dude said "they will go to jail"?
Problem is not small people who hunt to survive infortunately . This is the government's who not provide sustenance to this people . The same governments who broke all the rools and hunt themselves , ofer hunting parties to the rich or royalty . I remember the king of Spain f ex who was some kind of animal protector but was frequently hunting on Africa . This is the big problem
When I was younger I had no idea poaching was such a big problem
Apparently early civilization royalty was buried with ivory trinkets, doo dats, and spears. I can understand crafting weapons, I mean the wooly mammoth's tusks were weaponized for hunters back in the day. But to kill animals solely for arts and crafts is beyond ridiculous and dare I say pathetic. You can settle for a bit of wood you actually have to go and pay to have an animal killed just to have a miniature statue of a naked Buddha lying around? What the fuck man!?
I saw a Vektor R5, and a Daewoo K2, and LM308MWS rifle.
Oh how the turns tabled.....
J A C K brought me here and they were right, this sounds amazing
Chad seems to have a South African accent.
This documentary is fascinating
He is from Zimbabwe.
Heroes
The only BBC video in liked in years
In the future you will have AI driven drones that can search for poachers at dark in Game Reserves.
I say take a few dozen amazing sharp shooters/trackers and set them on the animals as protectors.
See anyone in your L.O.S raising a weapon at them in any matter that's not self defense, DROP'EM. Get some evidence get a paycheck rinse and repeat
Rangers have Galil / R5 Assault Rifle ? Were they supplied buy RSA ? I didn't know Malawi had some.
I'd love to do this.
TCM should be promoting the magical healing power of fresh poacher teeth, ears and tongues, removed from the live animal or course. Problem solved.
To exterminate most poaching in Africa you have to fix the country and there economy so they won’t need to hunt for money
@Zombie Bones We will start with the whites in south africa
Hunting poachers would be a perfect hobby and sports game for the animal's
Hunting will never stop if those people live in filthy poverty. People have to factor the poverty found in that part of the world. On the long term, there needs to be an economic solution that will benefit the majority.
