At times I wonder if the show is having an actual impact other than entertainment, but then I hear stories like this Toronto gentleman who saw Raw Travel last year (we&#8217;re not licensed in Canada so I assume he saw the Buffalo or Detroit feed).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">After tuning into our story on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.careforwild.co.za\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Care For Wild Africa\/ African Conservation Experience<\/a> this gentleman booked a trip to volunteer for them in South Africa and has returned a changed man. He&#8217;s telling others about his transformation and about this critical issue as rhinos near extinction. Here is his story and I thought I&#8217;d share it. \u00a0P.S.
