Synopsis
George Phiri is a tracker and game scout in South Africa's vast Pilanesberg Game Reserve, home to one of the last viable black rhino populations in the world. Phiri has watched these rhinos grow to adulthood from the time they were first introduced and knows them all by name. From early childhood, Phiri witnessed the effects of poaching on the rhino population in his home country of Malawi, but could do nothing to stop it. Today, as monitor of the Pilanesberg Rhino Project, he is helping to realize a lifelong dream of seeing the black rhinoceros reintroduced to Malawi in the hope of starting a new population.
