Step 4: Leave us a tip to help us continue producing content at https://www.wildlifebroadcast.com/get-involved/#tip
Step 5: Do not like or reshare videos of everyday people that have wildlife as pets
Step 6: Many countries still allow wildlife import into their
country. Most wildlife that is being imported have been captured in the
wild, families of the species being killed, many not surviving the
journey, etc. Many also were captured illegally to be purchased for high
dollars.
Step 7: We must demand stricter laws for wildlife trade, especially on endangered species.
Step 8: Some states in the USA made it legal to own an endangered
chimp, and across other countries – we need to demand changing the
status from legal to illegal
Step 9: We must demand stricter laws and punishment against illegal trade, exotic breeding, auctions of wildlife, etc.
Step 10: Educate yourself and others on the harm in taking a baby
from its mother or what the impact can be when a species goes extinct.

Here is one example of the effects on a species when people want to own a chimpanzee/ape as a pet.
“To catch the babies, they have to kill the entire family in
the jungle, usually between 8 and 10 individual apes, and many of the
baby apes will die before reaching their final destination,” Chantereau
said.
Many of the buyers of the smuggled babies are wealthy people
who want to keep exotic animals in their homes, according to Chantereau.
“They
don’t understand the consequences of their actions because for one baby
to arrive in their hands, at least ten have been killed,” he said.
Keep in mind the harm to wildlife is mostly for money! It is a
multi-million dollar business. For example, if one is caught in the USA
for illegal trade of animals or illegal trade of body parts from
endangered animals, for example, ivory – the jail time and fines are
minimal; therefore, it does not encourage them to stop; this leads to
the next step of action.
Step 11: Contact your government demanding stricter laws. Vote for politicians willing to fight for wildlife and our planet.
Step 12: Financially support wildlife causes and/or wildlife sanctuaries and rescue groups.

In Uganda, wildlife is protected by the Government on behalf of, and for the benefit of, the people of Uganda (The Uganda Wildlife Act, 2019). The Government of Uganda established Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) under the Uganda Wildlife Act, Cap 200 to manage wildlife in protected areas including National Parks, Wildlife Reserves, Community Wildlife Management Areas, Wildlife Sanctuaries among other areas following strict conservation procedures that limit or entirely exclude human activities. Wildlife is officially managed in gazetted protected areas such as Queen Elizabeth, Semuliki, Lake Mburo, Murchison Falls, Kibale, Mount Elgon, Mgahinga Gorilla, Rwenzori Mountains, Bwindi Impenetrable and Kidepo Valley. Wildlife that strays onto private land can be the impetus for conflicts between the government and private landowners when wildlife compete for resources with livestock or destroy crops on agricultural lands.
Although the Uganda Wildlife Authority has the mandate to manage wildlife outside the protected areas. it does not because it has no control over private lands. Private land and landowners have a right to use their land the way they wish (Ugandan Constitution, 1995). The National Land Use Policy, 2006 cites weakness of policy and legal mechanisms for wildlife conservation outside protected areas. Wildlife on private land is largely unprotected.

THE MAWANA ELEPHANTS by Lion Expose - March 26, 2024
Mawane reserve, KwaZulu Natal, South Africa.
Good News, and sadness and sympathy...
After all we have been through trying to protect this persecuted
herd, prevent them from being culled, and mostly, get help to protect the
communities that live with them.
Extensive networking skills and an ever developing circle of
incredible humans in the specialised field of Elephant and Rhino, whether it be
translocations or educating on coexistence in our rural areas, has had some
real success..
The Good News
In a few short weeks LionExpose has received much support and
interest to try and assist the Mawana Elephants.
The first stages are being discussed and would see the collaring
of three Elephant bulls.
Between several people and two Global NPOS this seems to hold
real possibilities.
A next step will be more, but talks to the three communities
affected and with Farmer Sithole to start looking at the community fences and
where to start to protect their crops and cattle when the elephants come to
their farms as part of their Migratory route.
And later possibly a bee fence project which will be offered,
and again will need a sponsor, but this will attract researchers as there are
literally two PGRS in South Africa doing this and the Bee Fence Researchers
will love to come and study this project.
So we are hoping all goes to plan and that Mawana manage these
issues as they need to be working really hard to keep these Elephants safe in
their range and keep the communities safe and show them care, and be grateful
communities will be happy to try and exist with this wonderful herd and see how
we can make it sustainable.
Thanks go to EKZN for being patient and clearly communicating
with Mawana and thank you Sithole for being open to lots of communication in
this regard.
The sad news.
A young herder was badly injured last week fetching his cows, he
was gored by an elephant, he was really in trauma and is in hospital, and right
now he is doing better but has many months of recovery ahead - he was extremely
lucky to survive.
Mawanas people are visiting him in hospital tomorrow to show him
we will offer him support, and a fund will be started for him.
He will be supported all the way.
It must be noted that Mawanas Elephants have been facing extreme
danger of a cull since 2018 and are still in danger as long as all these issues
exist.
But elephant lovers keep watching and supporting how much work
it is to save elephants that live close to humans and to give them the peace
they deserve and, vitally, to keep our humans safe.
Update
The herd have wondered back into the "Red Area", close to where communities are situated. Tribal leaders are calling for them to be hunted down immediately!!
