Even in the 21st century, illegal poaching remains a serious threat to the natural resources of Africa. In places like the Garamba National Park in the the DR Congo, just 1200 wild elephants remain due to the ivory trade. Those creatures find themselves increasingly under attack, their numbers dwindling. In this video, we travel to the park where we meet two very different brothers who have set aside their own disputes in order to work together to protect wildlife from poachers. It is a beautiful and amazing story that is being shown across Africa to inspire others to take up the cause too. It isn’t too late.
