- The Balule Nature Reserve’s Black Mamba Anti-Poaching (www.blackmambas.org/) Unit is the first of its kind: The majority of the team members are women. The main objective of the Black Mamba APU, founded in 2013 by Transfrontier Africa, is the protection of wildlife, but the team also to educates the youth of the communities that live on the boundaries of the Balule region. Currently, there are 26 Black Mambas that operate within Balule Nature Reserve and its surrounding areas, along with 23 armed guards. Poaching and snaring has decreased significantly since their deployment in this area. However, they believe that the war on poaching will not be won with guns and bullets, but through the local communities and education. This short documentary by Black Bean Productions was made possible in part by Empowers Africa and Rhinos in Africa, which you can follow on Facebook.

People are talking about them, at home on the couch, drinking soda and eating chips. These women are incredibly brave and amazing.
Simp
I need to rethink my responsibility on this planet. Smart name for the unit
It's a great step! Thumbs up from me,u guys are an inspiration...god bless Africa from Asia lad
These women are an inspiration to me as well as so many other people in this world, anyone else agree that what they do is absolutely amazing?
I wanna join them, that would be awesome, my goal was To always protect wildlife since I was a little girl.
Bad ass.
This is what i like to see.. Women standing together and protecting animals. Gods creations. These brave women need more support and should have more views. If i was a female id be honored to join them.
this world is for all!! not only for humans!!!
quite right!
Thank you girls
Learn those poachers a lesson please.
🙋
Thank you so much
Bravo Black mambas! You are the best and the bravest! We need you and your benefit action of protection!
These women are amazing idk why there’s so much hate in the comments
Alot of people are still sexist and backwards, it is very sad!!
Is that you, John Wayne? Is this me?"
These anti-feminist comments are fucking rotten. Prayers and admiration to the young women fighting to protect the environment. They are very brave.
It depends what you're talking about. If it's anything like Dreadios' comment then I agree but I wholeheartedly agree with that other comment talking about how these women are doing much better than the American feminists who just make up problems to complain about.
Super
Hell
Yes
Dear Black Mambas, you are so Courageous, you are great, your mission is precious for all of us! You deserve the best Honors! Saving the Rhinos is crucial for the Planet!
kick ass
Why aren't they armed for protection against animals and poachers? It would be terrible if anything bad happened to one of these girls because they could not defend themselves while patrolling the bush.
i think they are armed but maybe they asked them to just were their usual uniforms when they were filming this video so it can be content friendly?
@ 2:22 the gal says "usually we are not using weapons, we are eyes and ears of the reserves. If they report armed poachers and call in for back up but back up does not arrive in time I would hate to hear what angry poachers might try to do to these unarmed gals in retaliation.
@@jif.6821 Exactly poachers are infamous for killing witnesses in cold blood.
The Mambas. I watched a Irwin's episode where Bindi went with them. Crocodile Hunter voiced why we need the mambas. Ever year poachers enter the park looking for rhinos and elephants and when they find one they shoot it and the ivory lands on the black market. It takes 18 months for an elephant or rhino to get pregnant and they can't reproduce fast enough because the poachers keep taking them out. That's why we need the Mambas they are there to stop the poachers so we can save this wildlife.
feminists: equality for all!!!
u.s. government:ok women have to sign the draft then
feminists: wait no😦
ilu
It's not feminists who were against the draft, it was conservatives who didn't want their precious princesses getting drafted.
Nice revisionism going there.
@A Rabbit The second wave feminists didn't but the third wave certainly are. Another funny thing I've noticed is that it used to be conservatives who wanted censorship but now "liberals" want it. It's strange how the new left isn't that much different than the old right.
Poachers are so despicable, so trash humans, barely humans, cruel and only driven by money! Poachers have completely lot values. Mambas be careful and take a good care of yourselves against those poachers monsters!
I think this is awesome and I love that they're being empowered, but they should be armed! Like come on, the poachers are going to be armed. What are the Black Mambas going to do when they come face to face with one....flash their flashlight?
Great ideal but I would not go out unarmed .
Now just imagine the rage attack fuelled by the PMS... 😵😵😵
lmao
That's why they don't give them guns
Lolz
Even in the hot sun and fighting poaching, black women won't abandon their wig and weave.
below taken from website trying to find otu about the company, it's nto even all female? why are you lying?
"Black Mamba
Anti-Poaching Unit
Empowers Africa supports Africa’s first majority female
anti-poaching unit, as they continue to challenge poachers
as well as gender norms"
They should give them weapons
Pointless
EXACTLY
Carolina Panthers
