All Night in Ambush (8-minute Video)

There’s a starry-eyed perception of anti-poaching work that makes for exciting action TV.

Armed rangers, night-vision pursuits, poachers in handcuffs.

But.

The reality is, it’s mostly about hours and hours of walking, watching, waiting.

Sitting in the dark, listening to the bush, squashing mosquitoes, hoping tonight’s the night, knowing you’ll do it all again tomorrow, either way.

This is a story about a night ambush.

And nobody came.

Nothing happened.

That’s the job.
