The women taking on poachers

The Black Mambas are a South African anti-poaching unit, made up almost entirely of women. They believe the war on poaching won鈥檛 be won with guns, but by working with the local communities surrounding the reserves. They鈥檝e just been given the UN's Champions of the Earth award for their work, and one of them, Siphwe Sithole, told us about an average day.
