Team Lioness: the women protecting Kenya's wildlife

Meet Team Lioness: a group of female park rangers in Kenya who are just beginning to see family members for the first time in many months as Kenya eases its four month coronavirus pandemic lockdown.

The job of Team Lioness is to protect wildlife from poaching and trafficking in bushmeat - a task which became even tougher during the pandemic.

Purity Lakara - one of the rangers in Amboseli National Park in the south of Kenya, described some of the risks involved in the job.
