Taru Carr-Hartley: Every day is different. Most of the time we'll start with a flight in the morning. Me, personally, I’ll be in the helicopter - this could be a routine anti-poaching patrol with rangers to check out an area, or something that's been prior organised such as an elephant treatment mission. Then after that, it depends on how it goes and if there are findings in the day. Let's say on our flight in the morning we find poachers' track, we’ll then spend the rest of the day out looking for poachers. Otherwise, I'll get back to base and be on standby for human-wildlife conflict callouts, medical evacuations, treatments, and translocations. At the same time, we’ll be in the command centre at various points throughout the day helping manage and monitor the anti-poaching efforts.

When we go out we’re on the look out for all manner of activities. It's not only elephant or bushmeat poaching. Using the chopper, we take a team of rangers on board – often with one of our trained tracker dogs - and we'll go to areas that we know are hotspots. The helicopter allows us access places that are incredibly hard to access on the ground, by vehicle or on foot. Landing at these locations we can identify any signs of footprints or illegal activities. That might be the illegal harvesting of wood, illegal mining, cattle grazing, and of course any evidence of poaching. There are so many different things and what you find will vary across the vast area we patrol.

Roan: Like Taru said the orphans are a serious highlight and it's always very special spending time with them because almost all of them have had trauma in the past related to humans and it's pretty incredible watching them regain their trust for humans and learning that we're actually friends and not foe.

Recently Taru was on a flight in Tsavo West when he found an illegal mining camp and the team went in there to see what was going on with the camp and try and catch the guys there and in a sack they found a little Pangolin. It was still alive so we brought it back here to Kaluku and looked after it for a night and fed it termites. It's an incredibly rare animal - due to poaching - so seeing one is a highlight, let alone spending time with one and being able to interact with it. So it was really special and then we flew and released it in a remote part of Tsvao West.

Taru: I’ve never seen the gorillas, I’d love to go and see the gorillas and the chimps and I’d also love to experience the Amazon. And the Pantanal as well and watch jaguars hunt caiman that would be pretty cool.

Roan: I would also say I've always wanted to see the gorillas. And then there are quite a few places in Africa which include wildlife experiences that I know both of us want to go and visit. The Congo, for example, to see Okapi or Forest giraffe and Gabon in West Africa, we've always also wanted to go there and see forest elephants walking along the beaches and hippos in the sea…
