kiana Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 So I originally saw this on facebook, so I'm going to provide the link to that for anyone who uses it: https://www.facebook.com/amightygirl/photos/a.360833590619627.72897.316489315054055/821438537892461/?type=1 Here is a non-FB article about them: http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/feb/26/worlds-first-all-female-patrol-protecting-south-africas-rhinos This might be of special interest to anyone who has a dd interested in wildlife conservation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TammyS Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 It's smart to pay people in the community to be on your side. Where I live poaching and piracy has been an issue for over 200 years (with no end in sight). You can't possibly expect people who are terribly poor to care about conservation without helping them feed their kids some other way. I do worry about them putting those women out there unarmed. Maybe poaching is much more genteel in Africa than it is here, but it looks awfully dangerous to throw those women out there with nothing more than a radio for protection.
