- In the face of a growing insistence that the African elephant is ‘endangered’ and that it is ‘facing extinction’, this documentary is designed to give you an opportunity to evaluate the facts, visually, and to make up your own minds about the validity of these two statements.
Excellent production! It is time the world wakes up and we start taking action. The time for talk and endless deliberation on the problem has ended. We know what the problem is, and we know what the best solution is - start culling. Well done Ron and the team!
Absolute shocker; the names of the current managers and scientists should be placed on a wall of shame at the elephant museum. The destruction by mismanagement inside the park is a perfect ironic parallel to the destruction outside the park. Truely cry the beloved country.
i hope we can get more people involved in getting this problem under control with a clear way forward
Finally some truth about elephant overpopulation and their destruction of habitat for all. It's no wonder they raid farmer's crops outside the park boundary.
Thank you for these videos, I grew up going to Kruger and I believe we need to protect and manage our national parks better for future generations, we can learn from the mistakes of the past The Elephant and the Pauper. is another good documentary about this and the history about hwange and tsavo national parks. very under watched videos!
Thanks for a good but sad movie. Ara ideology is costly,but not only in money, but in tears and blood levels that rise very much one cant fathom ,but do ara care about it, that is the queation.
Heart breaking but wonderfully produced film. Thank you. Shared and shared,
What an interesting documentary and why is nobody taking heed since there is so much information on the destruction of sections of the Kruger National Park. It seems people of position and power are more talk than anything else. The only option is to cull to preserve the vegetation. Something needs to be done before the Kruger is like a desert.
This film should be watched in its entirety by EVERY animal lover, and especially animal rights proponents and animal protectionists. If this isn’t proof that wildlife must be managed, I don’t know what is. It terrifies me to see what Kruger and the rest of Africa will look like in coming years if something isn’t done and organizations don’t stand up to animal rights people. There will be FEW if any wildlife left!
Very well done. It's an issue that has deeply saddened me for a long time. This is the result of mismanagement. If one stops the natural migration of these animals then they will destroy their immediate surroundings.
Historically the elephants has free range to roam from the flood plains of Mozambique to the hills and mountains to the west of Kruger, not to mention north south movements. This releived local overgrazing and naturally the elephants will seek water and easiest nutritious food and not completely denude their immediate surrounds.
Very informative video. Well done! The African elephant management decision-makers should take seriously the message communicated in this video - the elephant over-population problem and the unfolding ecosystem collapse.
I've been preaching this to a much smaller audience (aka my inner circle of friends) for the last 5 years.
Why does KNP not cull?
In a World where common sense is not a given, ignorance is King
One of the most informative films I've ever seen on how too many elephants impact biodiversity negatively, congratulations to Ron and the filmmakers. Should be widely disseminated
Underneath the title, it says "Unlisted" so is this an example of views that some don't want to see being silenced or am I just being paranoid? This video should have more than 989 views after nearly a month on RUclips.
@@mikepoindexter7908 Thats not good ,must have been some soft souls which cried a lot that reported it or so.
Why has this video been unlisted? You cannot even find it in the RUclips search box. How can we get this more widely seen?
whenever you list something factual that goes against what the greenies want, you get tonnes of complaints. Leaving it unlisted limits your exposure
This is SO sad, is the current damage reversible and if so how long will it take?
I wish the BBC would show this film but I can't see that ever happening 😢 oh for the ill informed
In my language we call it Njovu
This is one of the most negative videos that I have ever heard about elephants. It is putting out a message that elephants should be culled in other words killed. Why is it right to think that any animal should be killed? Killing an animal is not the solution to over population especially an animal that is endangered, an animal that is a highly intelligent and sentient being, an animal that can have a positive effect on its environment. There has to be a way of dealing with the problem of over population with the elephants in South Africa. Elephants have been on this planet for eons of time and have lived and survived well. They were not a problem until recently, until humans over populated the earth. Please do not put out this message of killing these iconic animals. Please there has to be a way of solving this problem of over population of these majestic beings so that all is well for the elephants, the other animals, and the environment as a whole.
This is a very interesting film and it's doubtless correct in its observations on the current state of the park. However, it might be argued that the ecosystem should be left to itself. Eventually, the elephants will die when their food sources are depleted, which will of course be a very gruesome spectacle, but nonetheless a completely natural one. The massive die-off of elephants will allow the ecosystem to recover, and gradually the elephant population will rise over decades, causing the same habitat degradation and elephant population crash. This is very normal in animal population dynamics, most easily recognised in the ratio between predators and their prey, which follows a cyclic increase in one with a corresponding decrease in the other, until the predator population crashes due to the population crash of their prey; the cycle begins again. There are however very few natural ecosystems left in the world: Kruger Park was (perhaps still is) one of the most intensely managed ecosystems on Earth - there is virtually nothing left of the original ecosystems in place when the park was created. So, perhaps it's just best to let nature take its course...
Unfortunately, animals roam. If their food source gets depleted they become violent and would break through any manmade barrier or even attack people. also, they could damage the environment to such an extent that it may never recover.
With regards to hunting, elephants have no natural predators as even a weak elephant can take out a lion.
