In association with Tusk Trust, Going Green Media's first feature documentary follows the wildlife rangers of Tembo Team 3 within Kenya's Tsavo National Park, where they protect endangered species, mitigate human-wildlife conflict, and educate the community on the importance of adopting a culture for conservation.
Special thanks to Tsavo Trust and Nick Maughan Foundation for your support in telling this story.
We can’t achieve sustainable conservation without involving the local communities. We can’t.
Full of heartstopping moments, tender understanding, and unending passion for protecting wildlife, the wildlife rangers of Tsavo Trust’s Tembo Team Three devote their lives to being a force for good within Kenya’s Tsavo National Park.
The park, whose area totals roughly the size of Switzerland, is home to Kenya’s single largest population of elephants, as well as nurtures species including lions, rhinos, antelope, buffalo, leopards, over 600 species of birds, and much more. With such an abundance of biodiversity, however, the work of the nine Tsavo Trust ranger teams is critical to not only protecting wildlife and the habitats that support them, but also involves creating a culture for conservation education within local communities.
By following Tembo Team Three on their daily foot and vehicle patrols; monitoring and tracking wildlife; mitigating human-wildlife conflict; and checking in with one of Tsavo’s neighbouring community conservancies, the film reveals the immense responsibility that stopping poaching and bushmeat hunting is, while also sharing the uplifting growth of understanding and compassion for conservation work from the neighbouring Kamungi Conservancy.
