In the bustle of city life, it's easy to forget the wild animals we live among and the impact we have on them. TVJessi takes us on a journey to Tanzania, where efforts to protect wildlife find the balance between conservation and economic growth.

- In the hustle and bustle of city life, it can be easy to forget the wild animals we live among and the impact we have on them.

In the Ngorogoro Crater, most animals spend their entire lives inside tall mountain walls. The breathtaking beauty of lake and jungle combine to create an oasis, untouched by the modern world. The simple roads were carved out by elephants ages ago. Tent camps set up inside the Serengeti have to move within two years to avoid permanent damage to the landscape. On our quest, the elusive black rhino shows the impact humans have had.Some groups estimate fewer than 100 wild rhinos exist in Tanzania today. No park boundaries means animals roam free, but so do poachers. Rangers remain on constant patrol.

"There were reports even 20 years ago showing this decline," Porzecanski said."And in the last few years, there's been massive global reports as well showing that this decline is unprecedented ... and it continues unabated." In 2016, the UN budgeted $1.7 billion towards 17 Sustainable Development Goals for Tanzania, which focus on supporting the climate and life, both human and animal.
