In Central Malawi, a population of elephants in peril is being given a fresh start as a team of experts relocate the 72 animals in the most challenging translocation population to date. Threatened by ever-increasing incidences of human and wildlife conflict, the elephants must be moved quickly to have any hope of survival. Veterinarian Andre Uys gets to work, darting whole herds and far-roaming bulls using the immobilising drug M99 to reduce stress and ensure the safety of each animal. But tranquilising over 70 of the world's largest land mammals is fraught with complications aggravated by their sheer size and dead weight.
