The Reserve

The Balule Team are on the most critical conservation project of the year: the follow up dehorning of their rhino population. Stepping into the past we explore the challenges faced by Balule’s declining rhino population and the measures to save them.

Riding alongside with Balule’s anti-poaching unit and their K-9 partners, we witness their vital work in wildlife protection. Meanwhile, the team carefully relocates a wandering rhino, while The Reserve welcomes the arrival of 16 wild dogs.

The Reserve faces tragedy after 1089 days of peace as poaching returns. Explore the emotional toll on the frontline team, the cycle trapping poachers, and how The Balule is uniting with communities to protect its future.

The final instalment examines the intricate challenges of conservation. It highlights the surge in elephant populations and the resulting environmental damage, while also reflecting on how the loss of a beloved rhino offers a glimmer of hope.
