A ban on elephant hunting that had been imposed 5 years earlier it now permits the killing of 402 year promising a field day for sports hunters the government says the hunting should be allowed specifically in areas where elephants human conflicts are most common or what elephants we have learnt over time about elephants is that when the north is the danger they will not go to those areas and we use the controlled hunting to achieve that not to reduce numbers but to create better. So that people can continue about livelihoods i mean. Its been estimated that the elephant population will continue to grow significantly even if 400. 00 a kill each year. Trophy hunting is widely despised in europe for example but can it actually fulfill a useful function. Some conservationists think it can. The impact will be positive because botswana is absolutely committed to having any resources that it gets from sport to go to the communities rural botswanans live with 150000 elephants and they have not been receiving any benefits whatsoever so a couple of animals that are sport hunted can go a very long way to mitigate the kind of negative impacts including the loss of human life that rural botswanans are facing on a daily basis. Man a fish was trampled to death last year while on his way home in cassani. His sister dorcas sums up the findings of the police investigation. Hed say to a man bank. So. This. And i had to be and. So they pulled him up she tells us they used to be fewer elephants in the area and they were less aggressive. In the past there with just and must present elephant just feet in there sometimes without even seeing it but now why does the actually change without even a person provoking them anyhow she says the aggression may well mean the elephants are feeling stressed the question remains if the elephant population continues to rise and the human population grows as well im happy encounters will probably continue to occur and a sustainable solution will still need to be found. In our global ideas series we head to the Pacific Ocean its home to many species of sea turtle our reporter Claire Richardson went to the arm of an islands part of the Solomon Islands north of australia she met some activists who are working to protect the turtles. The Solomon Islands look like power dice on us the region here in the South Pacific is home to rich marry him biodiversity. But its a challenging environment for the critically endangered hawksbill sea turtles that nest here. Female turtles lay roughly 1000. 00 eggs each season. Only one in a 1000 all make it to adult hood. That chances are made worse by hunting and illegal trading. Research us estimate that some 10000. 00 tough tools are harvested each year. Thats pushed hawksbill sea tuttles to the brink of extinction. But for the creatures who make it to this particular beach thats how. These women are on a mission to save the titles in 2016 they formed a group which brings together communities from 3 islands to protect the tools from hunting need to take on many things they have different powerful background so climbing together also have the opportunity for them to embrace it challenge and put a project they come through giveth uniting them together for concert with. Their on my way to the owner from a spectacular group of islands thats one of the largest breeding grounds in the South Pacific for the hawksbill sea turtle. The owner evidence of assigned to the marine protected area the fast f a National Park in the Solomon Islands and a sanctuary for the tuttles. Today the team looking to catch them for time and release known locally as tuttle ready to go. On about what i wanted was. The 1st attempt is a mess. So its on to the next location to try again i just thought. But though. It might have been the. Second time lucky. They call to a female green tuttle a different species. Shes Strong Enough to dislocate a persons arm. Not muslim. Once on board shes measured and had details are recorded were not. Going to mind. You know where im coming over next her flip has attacked with unique numbers to help rangers identify her in the future you have written. On this green turtle has scars from an attack by a crocodile. That common in these waters. World. Is crawling across the coast is clear shes on her way again. A book spell sea turtles also face dangers on shore. Have discovered this not just now rangers must move the surviving eggs so the smell doesnt attract more predators. Its all pays off when the baby tattoos are bred to touch. The women of koach he helped build tuttle highways in the sun and leading from the nests to the ocean. As the happening start the Journey Towards the sea the women trying to keep them on track. They stand guard against natural predators and purchase. Tools are often cotton illegally sold to buy is overseas totoo is also an important traditional food in the Solomon Islands and its been hunted for centuries while the practice is still legal outside to preserve the women of co are trying to change local attitudes. Of ive been so i dont like i would say that i go there. And then. My face very pretty and i walk that they make canes my like my thinking when you actively see them coming out from their holes and driving making their way there and then i knew when i got them laughing day and then out me off in the sack that they were waiting for ben out of struggle kobe have already like and then i was like oh i really hope. And pride is my family though my community. Obviously better. Shes just one example of how come back east message is resonating across the Solomon Islands several women have brought the fight to save tattles back to their villages to teach office the only one living near poor and has started her own offshoot of koichi in her village she uses weatherproof charts on islands where electricity isnt available to show local communities how they can help. Our generation for tomorrow. Whereas the then but then look how that saw him have to look after our state but. It takes 30 years for tuttles to reach sexual maturity after nesting they travel thousands of kilometers back to the Great Barrier reef in australia saying this incredible journey helps the women understand the Important Role they play in conservation we have been. Very important because we have a custody and there we have the one who will look after the family we faded to rain and also we took. Things then what there is happening in a community so it is very important that we women truth understand what is happening in that environment. There are now twice as many tuttle nests in the on of ns as the weapon for the marine park was established 25 years ago. But more needs to be done to save the species i think that if everybodys operating like to get that then we have i have high hopes for that that those who have to do have a so to see them yeah ok he is hoping to get more women involved in educating and uniting communities to make sure the Solomon Islands are a safer place for turtles today and in the future.
