The Elusive Elephant Shrew: The Tiny Mammals Under Threat In Africa | Sengi Documentary 

I thought it was much smaller than it is, since its name derives from its shape.

I think that it is not just only amazing, but is a good documentary too.

the first thing he taught you was its called a sengi

Brazil ?

Look around at buildings tourists etc and you can see why you have so few .How long will this remain ..People are responsible for so many awful things .Willie the Ranger was the educated caring one

The West consumes 80% of the world resources, and you still have the nerves to talk about poverty. Your greed is creating poverty.

Major problem in Africa today is birth control campaigns stopped completely and the primitive mass Keep having more children than they can afford to feed. Population explosion in Africa today is an eye sore

Your comment, and especially the first sentence, is a perfect example of the noble savage trope.

What a nieve fantasy, africa has waged war on itself since 5000bc, that is just we know of. You think and write like a child.

The World Wildlife Fund should or rather could do much to help & what about the Government here ?

The line is actually for the love of money is the root of all evil.

There was plenty of land and resources in Europe that didnt stop colonization and human trafficking.

@@antcantcook960 You got a point there. Colonization is motivated by pure greed and envy for what others have that aggressors want but aren't inclined to buy fair and square. Psychopaths and narcissists also get a thrill from duping and deceiving victims. Colonization is disgusting and even the indigenous Europeans saw it with the migration of Caucasians between 7000 and 4000 BC... It didn't stop then. It still hasn't stopped. Still, planting and growing your own gives food security and any surplus can be traded. It might be better for the villagers in the long run. Jungle villages are running low on game and going hungry. When they do, you know what happens when help is offered by outsiders...extinction of the village people and their traditions.

Sadly poaching is a reality because poverty and lack of resources exist everywhere so we need more education and solutions that can strike a balance between people and the natural world.

@@mikeycbaby If they planted their own trees, grew their own crops and raised their own livestock, they wouldn't be in poverty. From the funds that go into guarding the forest, some could be used to plant the initial tree nurseries, vegetable gardens and livestock paddocks in the village and teach the villagers how to manage their own resources. Seeds and seedlings can be harvested from the local species that are already being consumed and faster-growing species that coppice can be planted for renewable fuel wood, fencing, housing framework, furniture, etc. Similarly, vegetable seeds can be collected from the wild and new ones brought in that grow fast. Once a few of those plants go to seed, they can be collected for the next planting. Once vegetable gardening is established, then chickens can be raised and fed kitchen scraps and the chickens will make fertilizer for the vegetables, as well as lay eggs for food. Replacing the source of needed resources by growing close to the villages would end the poaching and the poverty that makes poaching necessary. See? There is a solution to the poaching and the poverty. I don't understand why this solution isn't being used.

It's cheaper and easier to poach than growing your own food plain and simple. To many people not enough affordable resources .

I think so, but the talent of making sound it was so interested.

Theres nothing wrong eating with hands, i eat with them all the time, i swear you city ppl

Humans have ate with their hands since the beginning of time. We have survived just fine.

@@rc-daily with all that gross bacteria in the gut! U go rite ahead and believe that shits fine! Lmao ive seen that nasty stuff under the microscope-- ghead and eat like that n believe its fine!

@@dionnedunsmore9996 these people have been living in this environment for eons so they have a stronger immune system than people that don’t live there. There is such a thing as localized immunity. Also a disease that was caused from being too clean and not letting yourself be in contact with microbes was polio. People that actually work with the soil strengthen their immune system and they’re finding this out now that people that live in cities who don’t have access to all the different types of microbes in the natural environment are more susceptible to allergens, and a host of other diseases plus they eat processed foods. Our ancestors never heard of soap that’s only a recent invention in the last few hundred years because it wasn’t necessary. Humans didn’t live in such crowded conditions and these folks live in rural areas, so they’re way more in balance with their surroundings as long as they don’t destroy what little habitat there is left.

@@mikeycbaby definitely makes sense👍 Maybe Im wrong. Still hard to watch humans eat off a dirt floor. Ive definitely seen cultures in todays world.... Like the amish, who r able to ingest milk straight from the tap. That would make the average American sick as a dog! Yet nothing comes their way in the manner of illness. Ive seen that bfor so i definitely get what ur saying.
