Both lovedtraveling and they traveled extensively all over the world.In 2005 they visited Southern Africa and fell in love with a world thatchanged their lives.From then on the only place they wanted to go back to was Africa.After the 3rd trip they decided they wanted to live their full time anddecided on Zambia.Getting a piece of land and building a camp became their goal as theynoticed that wildlife thrives around lodges and it seemed one of the onlythings that was keeping them alive.After a bad start with a Zambian guide (who only wanted to take theirmoney) their son Demian stayed in Zambia and was given land by the localchief. That was the beginning of a 5 year fight to keep the land and getTitle Deeds for a 99 year lease. With opposition from every side andDemians courage, they finally obtained the deed and built Zikomo Safari.It was opened in 2012.Over the years it took to build it they saw first hand the falling numbersof animals.In 2015 Nsefu Wildlife conservation foundation was formed with Coe Lewisto try and stop the poaching and help the local community.

Mike is also a trained Anti-Poaching Ranger and has been on the front line protecting wildlife in Africa since 2014. During the interview, Mike discusses what it was like working as senior mammal keeper at the San Diego Zoo’s Safari Park. He goes into detail what it was like working with two of the world’s remaining Northern White Rhinos and how that experience motivated him to sell everything he owned, and move to Africa to become a ranger. He recalls experiences from the field including his fight to save some of the world’s most endangered animals. Other topics include his thoughts on trophy hunting and if there is still hope for rhinos.Donate to Global Conservation Force: https://globalconservationforce.org/donate/Follow Mike on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/MikeVeale/Follow Corbin MaxeyWebsite: https://corbinmaxey.com YouTube: https://goo.gl/ZbuBnRInstagram: https://goo.gl/NDYWFF Twitter: https://goo.gl/F4zVfNFacebook: https://goo.gl/ZsE1SP TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/prvYxR/Animal Nights LIVE on YouTube: https://youtu.be/nwCP3gJqHd8 Animal Nights LIVE website: https://corbinmaxey.com/animal-nights-liveSupport the show! https://www.patreon.com/animalstothemaxGoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-support-corbin039s-animals

“It’s not taking pilots out of planes. It’s putting propellers on smart phones.” So says Chris Anderson, co-founder of 3D Robotics describing “Solo,” the world’s first Smart Drone. Anderson was among a group of leading engineers in unmanned aerial vehicles gathered on the USS Midway to inspire San Diego students to consider careers in high technology. Others on board included Mike Atwood and Darren Moe of General Atomics describing the military missions of the “Predator” UAV, George Guerre of Northrop Grumman adding how its “Global Hawk” drone is also used for weather surveillance and other humanitarian purposes and finally, Mike Veale of San Diego Zoo Safari Park touched many in the audience by explaining how he plans to use drones to stop the poaching of rhinos and elephants in Africa.
