Fight the poachers without arms and challenge the prejudices.
Have chosen the name of the world's most poisonous and dangerous snake: the Black Mambas, the first team against poaching composed only of women. In a world dominated by men, 2 years ago, this surveillance team was born to face the problem of ever-expanding poaching in South Africa: in 7 years, in fact, more and more the rhinos killed for their horns are being removed, causing the death of the animal and resold mainly to the Chinese market that uses it powdered in traditional medicine to heal fever, epilepsy, malaria and poisoning. It is a precious material that is very high on the black market (about $ 60,000 for kilo) and this is a strong incentive for poaching, in a densely populated and poor area like the one bordering the Greater Kruger National Park.
About this the Black Mambas have been awarded UNEP's annual recognition program (United Nations Environment Program) assigned to organizations and individuals who stand out for the protection of the environment and for building a sustainable future by acting, in their respective areas of expertise with tenacity and determination.
I heard this news this evening in the state TV
I searched the news in internet and the article goes back two years ago while they were born two years further back
And so I thought about how strange the world is, the bad news comes in a nanosecond, those beautiful in 4 years ......
I dedicate this to them
Thanks for your recent visits, favorites, comments and invitations. I go slow, but everything is very much appreciated, as always....
