Maasai women against poachers - Kenya's first female rangers | DW Documentary
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 июл 2024
- Maasai women Leah and Purity are rangers in the Kenyan bushveld. Every day, they travel around Amboseli National Park. They never know which animal they will come across next: It could be a buffalo attacking them or a herd of elephants approaching dangerously close to the villages.
The two young rangers work at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, in Amboseli National Park. Every day, they walk 25 kilometers through the savannah to track down wild animals and document their populations. The more they know about the animals, the better they can protect the people in the surrounding villages.
It is often Maasai herdsmen who experience conflicts with wild animals while searching for food with their herds. That's when Leah and Purity are called in. They might need to mediate because a herder has lost a cow and wants to retaliate against the wild animal. They might need to reassure a traumatized village woman after a hyena attack on herself and her herd of goats.
Leah and Purity don't have it easy in life themselves - as Maasai women, they have to fight against discrimination and rigid traditions. However, the female rangers have gained respect and the number of wild animal killings has decreased since they started patrolling the bushveld on a daily basis. This is a story about two women who are committed to the peaceful coexistence of humans and wild animals -- and who achieve their own personal independence in the process.

These young women are fighting a battle. They deserve much respect for the pressure they are under. Good for them.
Proud of my fellow Kenyan women ,oooh LIONESSES ❤❤🇰🇪..BIG UP you are special truly
🦘
After watching Dw documentary for more than 10 years finally you've arrived home.. I feel like I'm the one narrating these
Haha wafula busia mlimaliza wanyama yote. Hata digidigi na chiswaa
Very true😂😂✌️
I truly enjoyed the film and wish my sistas more success in their endeavors. In the spirit of AMANDLA.
Bless those who protect and care for animals🌎✨🙏🏻
🖖
They're doing great work, I'm glad they're doing well in spite of some opposition. It is hard going against family traditions and culture, but these women are proving that they're making good choices. Fascinating film, props to Team Lioness 👍
Proud to be Kenyan...and our Maasai people nice doc...
It should have read: "Proud to be East African. . . . . .and our Maasai . . . . . ."
I hope the Masai people find a way to prostper and grow while maintaining the best parts of their culture and protecting the beautiful wildlife of mama Africa 🌍 ❤️
Beautiful Brave young girls fighting against all odds and yet maintaining the wonderful positives of their culture. They have been brought up well. Kudos DW for showcasing so many aspects in one video 👍
The beauty of Kenya's Lionesses in (42:00 min), now I understand why this video is exclusively (4) woman power, well done DW (4) this documentary. Next time extent the duration (1 hour +), we need (2) enjoy it!!
These women are simply outstanding 👏 Thank you for this enlightening documentary. And thank you for all the wonderful women around the world.
Thanks for watching and for your positive comment!
Really happy to see what these girls are doing for themselves and their community. Hope this will encourage more girls to go to school and look after themselves and their families. Very inspiring.
Such a great documentary to celebrate international women's day
I’m so proud of these women. I love Kenya and have been three times. Indeed we always go towards the Maasai area to fly back to Nairobi. Twiga tours has always been our host and many friendships have come from these trips. I do worry they don’t appear to be armed. The territory is so very dangerous and very unpredictable. May your God watch over all of the rangers. 🙏🇦🇺
Thanks DW for making this wonderful documentary
Good to see these rangers doing a great job of protecting animals from poachers. Job is qute challenging and dangerous.Hats off to the female rangers.
Massai traditional attire is very beautiful, colourful and looks amazing.
Thanks for watching and for the feedback!
You Go Girls!!!!! Superwomen indeed, massive love and support from Sweden to you
Thank you on their behalf, so proud! Strong fierce women they are.
Team Lioness ❤
I am a kenyan and speak fluent swahili. @8.45 your translator has added their own things. The lady did not say at any point that "men say that women cannot even do housework well " why would you add that part? What benefit do you gain from adding negativity? On the other hand... We are proud of our girls 🎉🇰🇪
Lost in translation 😂😂😂
Leah putting on her massai clothes was the best thing i have seen in a long while. Extremely beautiful.
Pray for the success of Team Lioness 💪💪
It was a wonderful documentary shared by an excellent ( DW) documentary. Documentary about lioness team of Maasie women community for protecting wildlife and chasing poachers.
Thanks a lot for watching and for your positive feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to comment and
are glad you like our content!
One of the best presentations I ve seen on the progress in KENYA especially in the MASSAI community.I simply love ❤️ this presentation.As a KENYAN- AMERICAN.I Couldn't be prouder of em.woow..❤
Wow, I love their fluency in Kiswahili
Doing great work, girls! Love the positive mindset!
Wish there was a way we could assist the girls achieve their dreams ,like the one who wants to be a vet
This is the type of thing people with extra money should be donating to.. Someone set up a gofund me (directly to these brave woman ), so they can have the career's they wish like Leah becoming a Vet 💓
Pride of kenya masai comunity ,you gifted us nairobi (river of sweat waters ) but we durtified and ruined it
hope as kenyans we will learn from you .and soon we hope to get a president from your comunity that loves and respect the earth.pride of kenya .
Nairobi was never a place till that rail depot..it was lands between kamba kikuyu and maasai tribes, depending on where they lived..uasin gishu,nakuru,naivasha eldoret are maasai names too.
I loved this. Kudos to those women who defied the odds to become POWER rangers. Kudos to the elderly women that ensured the younger women get education. Let’s not forget that when u educate a girl child you inspire and elevate the whole community. 👷🏽♀️👱🏾♀️
I would like to see the govt w/In the region to continue building more learning facilities (incl tertiary) for the community . There’s so much potential here, otherwise good job. And thank you for securing our wildlife 🎊 ❤
This is a great documentary, thank you DW!
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Be sure to check out our channel for more content.
Wonderful to see!!
Amazing brave woman❤❤ just wonder why they dont carry a weapon to protect themselves from wild animals😮😮😮
they're rangers? they know how to behave around wild animals and how to prevent attacks
I don't know about that wildlife is unpredictable
I think they left their weapons somewhere. Rangers always have weapons.
Salute to Masai super women Park Rangers Pray that many will join in protecting the wild life .and the progress too of all Masai community.
Their *CULTURAL ADORNMENT is SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL!!!!*
I congratulate them, that said they are better off then most men and women because they have a salary. Steady income is important anywhere.
Thank you beautiful Lionesses ❤❤
I am proud of my sisters and also my fellow country men Kenyans in general.... in our community us men we always say the livestock at the homestead and everything in it belongs to the women and children that is why you find most chores being done by them. For the men we only keep track of what is happening while forging bonds we other clans and lineages inside our community, that is why during introduction mostly you are asked "ijingai" which you are supposed to answer with your family name that way it makes it easier for someone to trace your lineage and it works greatly especially when you are far away from home.
Team África ❤❤ 10:01
Happy women's day to all the beautiful one's out there 😘😘
Great documentary this is I appreciate it but the translation was a bit off. But overall I enjoyed it
Thank you for watching and for your feedback.
Yes! I agree.... Translation is off at very strategic points
Really excellent documentary, I did my post-graduate dissertation on poaching years ago. Very relevant topic
Amazing service. Amazing and brave women ❤❤❤
An excellent documentary.. Thanks DW.
Thanks for watching and for your constructive feedback! :-)
Happy for you, young women. Thank you all for your care and long days of work with lions, hyena, elephant, zebra, and others which bring variety and different characters to your day. May they be many and add up to years as experience might even let you be a veterinary teacher yourself. Live long and prosper. from the land of Wurundjeri First Nation people of Kulin culture near Melbourne Australia. Keep smiling. It can calm old lions, I'm sure.
bravery is key in maasai
Nice documentary.
Female Empowerment! Go ladies go!👏👏👏❤
My lovely country kenya❤
Amazing doc🙌
Thank you for your comment!
Theyre amazing!
Awesome documentary
Thanks for watching! Be sure to check out our channel for more content. 😊
Kenya has had female rangers for decades. One of them a close relative of mine. They're not the first.
You missed the cue.
I had a friend who was a female game warden at Lake Nakuru National Park in the 1980s
@@bellaolum9768 And I bet she wasn't even the first.
@@freedomm unless there's a difference between wardens and rangers. Wardens are employees of KWS.
@@bellaolum9768 Rangers is an umbrella term that includes wardens.
Great job lionesses time for a change but don’t forget your tradition ways is always the best the bad one should be dropped, as A Somali tribe we have similarities with our brothers and sisters Masai . Education is the key for our next generation. Watching from USA 🇺🇸
😢😢Always men looking down on women...eventhough they contribute so much.
Proud to be a Maasai.❤
Wunderbar!
Godspeed, you strong women!
Awesome.
My homeland amboseli
Am soo much proud of my country i will defend it any day
Thank you, Lovely Lionesses.
Please look into herd guardian dogs to help with predators.
There are several breeds who are excellent guardians.
All respect to team lioness. Beautiful, smart and very brave. Any Real man would be honored to have a Masai women as a wife.
I love 💕 liones
Generally Kenyan women are very very very intentional, Brave and goal oriented. They are not afraid to beat the odds and are aggressive in matters self financial development educating their kids and steping in the gap actively in cases of ' absent dads' . But the village women. God bless their souls. They work like donkeys. Wake up at Crack of dawn and sleep because darkness forces them to
Women are always the balance.
This is so gorgeous 🥰🤩
❤
Marriage can be for love for thes beautiful women. Not for Need or someone's profit. Momma Ester is a hero,to all humanity and the Animal kingdom.
Technically, the Hippo is the most dangerous animal😅
Hi ladies my respect 2 you 3
Patriarchy is a thing of the past.Maasai men to style up.Nice documentary though.
If you kill patriarchy in Masaai,then you are killing the whole culture.
DW please donate the Team Lioness binacaulars to monitor wild animals a bit far.
🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪❤❤❤hakuna matata
is fresh to see strong womans still exist in earth
I can not stand the translation.. ruin the whole thing, subtitles please. No need to destroy this with english...

Much spect to these women.
And for the herders ...... remember that you and your cows and goats are on lion-land. They were there long before your cows!
Go Kenya
those are Cape Buffalo not Water............
The sisterhood is very proud of them
Those are Cape buffalo.
Hard to believe these rangers don't walk with guns, for safety against a possible attacking animal or poachers?!!
They do of course, I think the makers of the documentary requested that guns be avoided in making of the documentary. And you should know that these are some of the most dangerous human beings on earth. The things they do to poachers......
@@chriswamahiu8751 well I can only go by what I see. I would think they need guns personally, doesn't seem right otherwise. If the documentary requested no guns, that's very bad reporting.
As to what they do to poachers..I dont know. All I know is what poachers do to animals. I just hope that when poachers are caught they're handled in a proper legal manner?
@@lusimyer Well, it's usually in the bush and these guys can decide to be the prosecutor, judge and the executioner and nobody would ever know what happened. But they do love their animals, and what these poachers do to these animals is not justified. Why would someone kill a 60 year old elephant just for a few thousand bucks. The government has instructed them to show no mercy. It's almost alike to the war on drugs and gangs in Latin America
@@lusimyer You should also know that tourism is one of the biggest contributors to Kenya's economy, and these poachers are terror*sts, just a different kind of terror*sm to what most people are used to. How would you expect authorities to deal with terror*sts
@@chriswamahiu8751 I understand all that. I know "jungle justice" isn't uncommon. I just hope they deal with the poachers correctly? Take them to court and get then charges and locked away.
Of course, the picture is interesting, but when making such cultural changes, you need to understand and explain the consequences, so that later those who financed these processes are not blamed for the problems. Educational projects are necessary, but when implementing, it is necessary to take into account the local culture and peculiarities in the countries where they are carried out.
young girls
Where are they guns? Aren't they armed to b? Rangers? That would think you'd have to have arms to protect you against wildlife and poachers.
Left out of the documentary intentionally. I presume
A male lion might spot on your twos and ignore you but a female will have dinner thoughts
its more than just poachers around.
Stubborn flies
Leah dan pasukannya sepatutnya dilengkapi dengan senjata untuk keselamatan diri dari pada diserang haiwan atau pemburu liar

37:34 What the heck, DW? Those are NOT "water buffalo". You're in Africa for crying out loud. Do some basic research.
Why are you so triggered? Wape neema, ni wageni.
@@4Waridi Of course I'm triggered by the ignorance. Water buffalo are only found in Asia and widely domesticated and used for ploughing fields and milk. African buffalo (aka Cape buffalo) are very dangerous wild animals that kill hundreds of people every year and are impossible to domesticate. There's a big difference. A whole TV outlet should know such basics. Waache ushenzi.
Likes za kenya🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Are they not allowed to have guns? 😮
Sasa leah.very cute
Happy international womens' day, 8th March 2024, 2025, 2026,... 2124, 2125,... 3024, 3025,...
Illusory Beauty of Nature:
Nature seduces minds through beauty; until the harrowing of reality cleaves free consciousness from the roots of existence.
Pineal vision becomes liberated to observe the qualia of shattered engrams, collected through suffering.
Awakened gestalt.

Sure. Whatever. 😐
@@TheStockwell 😂

Superdeterministic Consciousness:
The unconscious mind "sells" the conscious mind on the concept of Reality. The conscious mind "buys" Reality from the unconscious mind.
Forming an illusory feedback system (creating the illusion of choice).
The subconscious mind being a broker between both; neurological imbalances occurring when the conscious mind resists unconscious narratives (superdeterministic).
Sentience (environmental feedback) propagates consciousness through emergent (microorganisms forming macroscopic life) sensory experiences (environmental exposure), leading to the formation of memories, thus establishing corollary emotional states (dependent on experiences experienced). These emotional markers are activated during recall (remembering).
(Intelligence levels also being predetermined)
Microorganisms are sentient but don't experience conscious intelligence until emergence is factored; swarming as a collective through emergence - forming greater scales of intelligence (hive-mind/macroscopic life).
Everything naturally occurring is Nature, which includes plants, microorganisms, humans (all lifeforms), atoms, energy, stars, planets, black holes, cancer, AIDS, space, Dreams, and Consciousness. (Say what!?)
Nature is Emergence.
Roughly half of the total cells (~15 trillion!) comprising an average human are other individually sentient organisms (microbiota).
Any individual that believes they aren't being wholly influenced by half of their overall cellular matrix; I would encourage them to test that theory, by subtracting half of themselves from existence.

I like elephants
Where they guns
Left out intentionally
you are wrong, it doeant have the densiest population of animals in east africa, serengeti is
Did you check the meaning of the word "density" or your interest is to throw Serengeti at every conversation?
@@Dok2023😅😅😅😅😅
why are they not armed,,what if they meet with armed porchers😊
If we think single life is the answer, who will teach the children of single parents how to work/cooperate with the opposite gender? UBUNTU! (I am what I am because who we all are!)
They dont want to be single ,just not get married at 12 years .is it wrong?then choose thair husbands.
@@jum4771 are any of the female rangers, who are not children anymore, married?
If its marketing so be it but pure lies shame on documentaries shame this is not really the reality unless holding brief to african wildlife fund
I’m confused on why so many African do not have access to technology and so slow to learning their surroundings
Which ones in particular do you believe don't know their surroundings? You viewing Africans from your own clouded lenses.
nonsense.this is rural kenya and make google your friend..you might be low in technology than them
This is such a condescending view! Kenya is among top technology hubs in Africa after Nigeria and South Africa. We know more than you think 😅

Is fine how the propaganda Al jazeera chanel, was making program about Cyprus 🇨🇾and the eu passport program so bad and so much with hate and now Cyprus 🇨🇾is help ...ahhh karma
