Erica Salvemeni chats with [[Craig Spencer]] and [[Leitah Mkhabela]], part of the [[Black Mambas Anti-Poaching Unit|'''Black Mambas Anti-Poaching Unit''']] in South Africa. Craig Spencer is the executive director of [[Trans-Frontier Africa]] and founder of the Black Mambas, while Leitah Mkhabela is a supervisor and ambassador for the all-female anti-poaching unit. The [[Black Mambas Anti-Poaching Unit|Black Mambas]] initiative, started in 2013, employs 36 women from local tribal communities to protect wildlife, particularly [[Rhinoceros|rhinos]], from poaching. Craig Spencer's motivation to create the Black Mambas came after losing rhinos to poaching, realizing the need for a different approach to conservation. He sought to invest in the young women of the community who already showed caring and nurturing attitudes towards nature, aiming for a multi-generational impact.
