00:00I've had an amazing career.
00:11My team and I have worked hard to ensure that our wildlife survives.
00:18But one day, not so long from now, I will hang up my boots.
00:24And as I get closer to that day, my heart grows heavy.
00:34What's currently happening now is a systematic deletion of rhino.
00:41Rhino horns are literally feeding the global crime monster out there.
00:47Greed is what drives these guys.
00:50Hook the magazine in.
00:53If that poacher turns that weapon on him, the field ranger has to make a life or death
00:59decision in a single split second.
01:01Aim!
01:02Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run.
01:07You're on selection.
01:09What does it mean?
01:10You are in competition.
01:11Work yourself.
01:12This week is going to be very long.
01:13I promise.
01:14You understand?
01:15Yes, sir.
01:16Walk fast.
01:18Poachers are not just people from an unknown world.
01:29We are staying with them in the villages there.
01:31They know my house.
01:32They know my family.
01:33So sometimes intimidation is there.
01:36Stand back and put up your back.
01:42I'm worried these individuals might not realize what's at stake.
01:45I'll never do it again.
01:47Teamwork is everybody.
01:48Come on, now.
01:49Go, go, go.
01:50Now we're talking.
01:52Just to get the message that Rhino has shot someone.
01:57It's very painful.
01:58It's very painful.
01:59You know, your child asked you, so what did you do when this war was going on?
02:08And you say, well, I did nothing.
02:14It's really that strong an answer.
02:27The question is, who will step up?
