A ferocious kill on the plains of the Serengeti... dire warnings about threats to endangered species... These staples of nature documentaries are familiar to every TV viewer. What we don’t see or hear -- because the camera rarely turns around -- are the voices of people who live in close proximity to wildlife and navigate its dangers and challenges on a daily basis. In recent years, conservation in Africa and elsewhere has been turned on its head by a growing consensus that the world’s remaining wildlife will not survive unless local people are given a say, and a stake, in preserving it. A feature-length documentary, Milking the Rhino... and Other Tales of Community Conservation casts a new light on human-wildlife conflict and co-existence in an ever-shrinking world. It portrays African communities at the vanguard of Community-based Conservation -- a radical rethinking of conservation practice that integrates the goals of animal welfare, rural development and poverty reduction. Milking the Rhino tells powerful and complex tales of indigenous people gaining authority over their own natural resources. The film is also that rare event that places Africans at the center of a hopeful story on the world stage.
