South Africa remains a global hotspot for the illicit rhino horn trade. It's a violent and remorseless underworld. No wonder then that, when most of us think of anti-poaching units, we picture armed men ready for combat. But just outside the town of Hoedspruit, we meet a group of rangers with a very different approach. They're called the Black Mambas and they're the world's first all-female anti-poaching unit. Trained to be the eyes and ears of the bush, the Mambas have reduced poaching incursions by 62% in the Greater Kruger where they operate. Remarkably, they've been able to achieve that without a single shot fired. We meet the inspiring group of women taking on the dangers of the bush unarmed.
