The smell of a dead animal, a carcase, an animal that's just been killed, is something you'll never ever forget and it's that that sticks with you. It's that that gives you the energy to continually try and do my best to put a hold and a stop to what is still happening out in South Africa.
In this episode of Rewilding the World Ben Goldsmith talks to England cricket legend Kevin Pietersen. Kevin is now devoting his considerable energy and lifelong love of nature to saving Africa’s rhinos from extinction at the hands of poachers serving the illegal trade in rhino horn.
Warning: This episode contains graphic descriptions of dead rhinos.
