July 7, 2015 - BALULE RESERVE, SOUTH AFRICA: Commander Russel leads the dog patrol. LED BY BRITISH former military personnel these pictures show how courageous women anti-poachers train with guns in their battle to preserve Africa’s endangered animals. Operating in the Kruger National Park’s Balule Nature Reserve the 24-member strong all-female Black Mamba Anti-Poaching Unit patrols 50,000 hectares of bush to protect elephants and rhinos that are hunted as part of the estimated £12billion a year illegal world animal trade. These ladies, who as pictures show pose with weapons but also know how to party, are on the front line of a deadly war for the resources of their continent. Over the past year 1,000 wildlife rangers have been killed in Africa while protecting endangered wildlife. Black Mamba Commander and former Royal Navy serviceman Russell Baker (28) from Grimsby, UK explained exclusively how and why this South African special unit was established.
