I hope you guys are doing well.

希望你們一切順利。

Now this video is a recap of 2024.

現在，這段視頻是對 2024 年的回顧。

Many of you guys have been asking me about why we didn't publish that much content in this year and there's a specific reason to it.

很多人問我，為什麼我們今年沒有發佈那麼多內容，這是有具體原因的。

Noé, myself and the entire Hakunomi Paka team had to shift our time and skill and manpower a little bit more towards solving actual issues, existing issues, and initiating some projects which will help the Hakunomi Paka ways, instead of filming all these things and then using the time and manpower to edit that stuff and then put it on social media.

諾埃、我和整個 Hakunomi Paka 團隊必須將我們的時間、技能和人力更多地轉向解決實際問題、現有問題，以及啟動一些有助於 Hakunomi Paka 方式的項目，而不是拍攝所有這些東西，然後用時間和人力來編輯這些東西，再放到社交媒體上。

You will get all your answers right now in this video, so stay around.

您將在本視頻中獲得所有答案，請繼續收看。

All right, so let's start with the most obvious thing.

好吧，讓我們從最顯而易見的事情開始。

Dean Schneider became a father.

迪安-施奈德成為了一名父親。

I've got a baby girl.

我有個寶貝女兒

Her name is Naila.

她的名字叫奈拉。

She was born in August and it was the most beautiful but also most challenging thing in my life up until now, I believe.

她出生在八月，我認為這是我生命中最美麗但也是最具挑戰性的事情。

It started off with her coming four weeks too early.

一開始，她來得早了四周。

That resulted in me not being there, basically.

這導致我基本上不在現場。

On the same day when she was born, my wife was in Switzerland telling me she's coming now already and I'm like, no way, I'm still in South Africa.

在她出生的同一天，我的妻子在瑞士告訴我她已經來了，我想，不可能，我還在南非。

I still got four weeks left and she's like, well, that's nature, that's my buddy who decided she wants to, or that's Naila who decided she wants to come out.

我還有四周的時間，她就說，那是自然規律，是我的朋友決定要出來的，或者是奈拉決定要出來的。

Okay, I flew over to Switzerland on the flight that was connected via video call and she gave birth to her.

好吧，我乘坐通過視頻通話連接的班機飛往瑞士，她生下了她。

I felt miserable.

我感覺很痛苦。

I couldn't feel worse.

我的感覺糟透了。

That was a very sad moment for me, not being there, not being able to hold the hand of my wife to support her mentally and physically.

對我來說，那是一個非常悲傷的時刻，我不能在那裡，不能握住我妻子的手，在精神上和身體上支持她。

I really felt bad, but all those bad feelings went away once I arrived there in the early morning, could hold my baby, could hold my wife and then it was the most beautiful thing again.

我真的感覺很糟，但當我清晨到達那裡，抱著我的孩子，抱著我的妻子，所有這些糟糕的感覺都煙消雲散了。

The coming weeks was tough because she was so early there, so we had a lot of medical checkups and a lot of medical issues which we had to sort out.

接下來的幾周很艱難，因為她去得太早，所以我們要做很多體檢，還要解決很多醫療問題。

So the focus was 100% family and supporting my wife for about eight weeks until we then, in the age of eight weeks, traveled to South Africa together with baby Naila, which by the way went very well and arrived here and then that was a dream coming true.

是以，我們的重心完全放在了家庭上，並在大約八週的時間裡支持我的妻子，直到我們在八週大的時候，帶著嬰兒奈拉一起去南非旅行，順便說一句，這次旅行非常順利，我們到達了這裡，然後夢想成真了。

Every single interaction and introduction between baby Naila and the dogs, for example, or baby Naila and the monkeys or Naila and the lions was absolutely mind-blowing and all these were moments I will never forget again.

例如，小奈拉和狗之間、小奈拉和猴子之間、小奈拉和獅子之間的每一次互動和介紹，都絕對讓人心潮澎湃，所有這些都是我終生難忘的時刻。

So in the end of the day I would say this big happening was very positive.

是以，歸根結底，我認為這一重大事件是非常積極的。

All right, then a little bit of more tough topic, not so positive.

好了，接下來是一個比較難的話題，不是那麼積極。

We lost Madiba.

我們失去了馬迪巴。

Madiba was one of the cheetah brothers, Kobe and Madiba, and we found him dead in the camp.

馬迪巴是獵豹兄弟科比和馬迪巴之一，我們發現他死在營地裡。

The day before we did feed him.

前一天，我們確實餵過他。

They were happy and healthy, playing around.

他們健康快樂，到處玩耍。

We watched them eating their meat.

我們看著它們吃肉。

A day later our chef at that time, she would take a walk around the camp and she spotted him laying there on the ground and she took a video, came back to the house.

一天後，當時我們的廚師在營地附近散步，發現他躺在地上，她拍了一段視頻，然後回到家裡。

She was like, I think something is wrong with Madiba and I looked at the video and I immediately realized that guy is dead.

她說："我覺得馬迪巴有點不對勁，我看了視頻，立刻意識到那傢伙已經死了。

There's something seriously wrong.

出大事了

So we rushed over to the camp and he was laying there lifeless on the ground.

於是我們趕到營地，他躺在地上，已經沒有了生命跡象。

There was a little bit of blood coming out of his snout and he was already a little bit bloated up and I immediately knew it must be something crazy because he was in such great condition physically and mentally and they were brothers.

它的鼻子裡流出了一點血，身體已經有點臃腫，我立刻意識到這一定是瘋了，因為它的身體和精神狀況都非常好，而且它們是兄弟。

There was no bite marks that they would fight each other or something like that.

沒有咬痕，他們不會互相廝打之類的。

We drove to the vet, to our main vet clinic to make an autopsy because I needed to know what the actual issue is and on the way there Noah and I were brainstorming and reminded ourselves of a couple of days ago one of the workers reported about the black mamba which they saw close to the camp when they were cutting the grass.

我們驅車前往獸醫診所，因為我需要知道問題到底出在哪裡。在路上，諾亞和我集思廣益，想起了幾天前一名工人報告說，他們在營地附近割草時看到了黑曼巴。

Shortly after we dropped him off at the vet and he started shaving him down and cutting him open and you know do a whole autopsy and physical checkup.

我們把它送到獸醫那裡後不久，獸醫就開始給它剃毛，切開它的身體，然後進行全面的解剖和身體檢查。

There was the one information that he was in absolutely great condition which I think is nice to hear for us knowing that he had all the necessary vitamins, he had the best food he lived a healthy beautiful and great life.

有一條資訊說，他的身體狀況非常好，我認為這對我們來說是件好事，因為我們知道他補充了所有必要的維生素，吃了最好的食物，過著健康、美麗和偉大的生活。

Actually he said he has never made an autopsy on an animal which looks that healthy and balanced and on the other side he said he died of an anaphylactic shock according to the signs of the body and most of the time this happens when a black mamba bites you.

事實上，他說他從來沒有解剖過看起來如此健康和平衡的動物，而另一方面，他說根據屍體的跡象，它死於過敏性休克，而大多數情況下，當黑曼巴咬你的時候就會發生這種情況。

It was very hard for us, it was about three weeks ago.

這對我們來說非常艱難，大約是在三週前。

On one side it was a it's not something one of the workers or I myself or anyone else would have done wrong or so on but nonetheless it is a very sad thing because he was part of the family.

一方面，這並不是工人或我本人或其他人做錯了什麼，但無論如何，這是一件非常令人悲傷的事情，因為他是家庭的一員。

I am in an unfortunate position to forward this very sad news to you guys.

我很不幸地把這個非常不幸的消息轉告給你們。

All right then another topic which is not good or bad which brought some good fresh positive energy into the team is we had a change in our farm management.

好了，還有一個話題，說不上好壞，但給團隊帶來了一些好的新鮮的正能量，那就是我們的農場管理髮生了變化。

Andy who was for three years our farm manager, he originally comes from Switzerland, he moved to South Africa three years ago on a long-term visa to help us run this place here and he left us in the end of this year all on good terms.

安迪曾擔任過三年的農場經理，他來自瑞士，三年前持長期簽證來到南非，幫助我們在這裡經營農場。

He just wants to find some new challenges so we had to find someone new who can help us run this place especially since Noé and myself are traveling every now and then or even the situation you know with baby Naila and so which asks me to be away for a couple of weeks.

他只是想尋找一些新的挑戰，所以我們必須找一個新的人來幫助我們管理這個地方，特別是因為諾埃和我自己時不時地要出差，甚至是你知道的奈拉寶寶的情況，所以這就要求我離開幾個星期。

I need someone solid here who understands the whole system and can run this place as it was his.

我需要一個可靠的人，他要了解整個系統，並能像以前一樣管理這個地方。

We had to make sure that everything runs smoothly and the new farm manager can understand the whole system so we really all of us had to work on it and to help Andy to do that whole transition to the new farm manager which by the way has done a great job so far and everything is working smoothly and I hope in the coming year our team will be able to keep a lot of work off our backs so that we can produce much more content again for you guys.

我們必須確保一切順利運行，新的農場經理能夠理解整個系統，是以我們所有人都必須努力工作，幫助安迪完成向新農場經理的過渡，順便說一句，新農場經理迄今為止做得非常好，一切工作都很順利。

All right then another topic is quite a famous topic in my world it's the monkey dome.

好吧，還有一個話題在我的世界裡很有名，那就是猴子穹頂。

Some of you guys have heard of it.

你們有些人聽說過它。

Two years ago we started with a new home building a new home for the monkeys because they're capuchin monkeys they actually live in the amazonian rainforest so we did build or we're busy building a home as beautiful as big and as wild as possible according to our possibilities for the monkeys but we're getting there.

兩年前，我們開始為猴子們建造一個新家，因為它們是捲尾猴，實際上生活在亞馬遜熱帶雨林中。

We started two years ago where we have been messed around a little bit because they gave us completely wrong budgets and then I had to make a fundraiser.

我們是兩年前開始做的，因為他們給了我們完全錯誤的預算，所以我們被搞得一團糟，後來我不得不做了一個籌款活動。

We succeeded within a day or two to get that money so thank you so so much to all of you guys out there.

我們在一兩天內就成功拿到了這筆錢，所以非常感謝你們所有人。

Without you this monkey dome wouldn't be possible right now and then we started building it legitly properly.

沒有你們，我們現在就不可能有這個猴子穹頂，然後我們就開始合法地建造它。

In a couple of weeks they should be able to move so we're getting there we're almost there but that definitely has kept us on our toes as well.

再過幾周，他們應該就能搬家了，所以我們正在努力，就快成功了。

It's just a massive project almost as if you would build a house.

這只是一個龐大的工程，就像蓋房子一樣。

All right and then we're gonna switch to again a little bit of a darker moment and situation here in the Hakunomi Park Oasis.

好了，接下來我們將再次切換到白富美公園綠洲的黑暗時刻和狀況。

We found out that people are strategically stealing from the Hakunomi Park house, stealing petrol, stealing tools and we are a very small team.

我們發現，有人在箱根公園的房子裡有計劃地偷竊、偷汽油、偷工具，而我們是一個很小的團隊。

Literally having the full responsibility and running it is Noe, myself and Eli and we had to sort out the situation meaning you have to interview everyone, you have to get all the information, then you have to fire people.

實際上，諾伊、我和伊萊全權負責公司的營運，我們必須理清頭緒，這意味著你必須採訪每個人，你必須獲得所有資訊，然後你必須解僱人。

After you fired people and you sorted out the whole situation you're short in your team so you have to get new people.

在你辭退員工並解決了所有問題之後，你的團隊人手不足，所以你必須找新人。

Now where do you get new trustworthy people which are willing to come out to the wild and commit to to work on this you know in such an environment but yeah that was definitely a topic people would not know about and would think why does team not create some content.

在這樣的環境下，你從哪裡找來值得信賴的新人，他們願意到野外來，並投入到這項工作中，但這絕對是一個人們不知道的話題，人們會想為什麼團隊不創造一些內容呢？

All right then a more positive but also extremely time-consuming topic is what most people most probably don't know.

好吧，那麼一個更積極但也非常耗時的話題就是大多數人可能都不知道的。

We're building a new house, a new house to live in here in the Hakunomi Park Oasis.

我們正在箱根公園綠洲建造一座新房子，一座可以居住的新房子。

Actually right next to the existing house.

其實就在現有房屋的旁邊。

The reason being is this existing house is falling apart.

原因是現有的這棟房子已經破敗不堪。

For those who follow me for a while they know the roof issues it's leaking into my room we try to fix it a lot of times it's still not fixed.

關注我一段時間的人都知道屋頂的問題，它漏進了我的房間，我們試著修了很多次，還是沒修好。

Here the roof we have to stabilize it with steel poles otherwise the whole outside area would crash.

在這裡，我們必須用鋼柱穩固屋頂，否則整個室外區域都會坍塌。

We cannot take a bath anymore because the bathtub is about to fall out.

我們再也不能洗澡了，因為浴缸快要倒了。

We try to renovate it a lot of times and specialists even came out to check the house and they said it's too dangerous it's falling apart and I believe in Switzerland according to law you wouldn't be even allowed anymore to live in such a house.

我們曾多次嘗試翻新房子，甚至有專家來檢查過，他們說房子太危險了，都快散架了，我相信在瑞士，根據法律，這樣的房子是不允許再住人的。

So now we are basically living in a construction site.

是以，我們現在基本上生活在一個建築工地裡。

Also then a very cool thing which was combined with actually a lot of content which has not been published yet is the second line movement.

此外，還有一件很酷的事情，它與許多尚未發表的內容結合在一起，那就是二線運動。

The second line movement occurred all the lines are now up in the live wild area and we've got actually we implemented our line Tuesday because it did happen already in the past that for two weeks three weeks we didn't spend time with the lines because there are so many other responsibilities and you know just the the day-to-day duties they shifted from doing things with the actual animals and filming to having meetings and to doing contracts and to check up on things.

第二條生產線的調動發生了，現在所有的生產線都在野生動物區，我們實際上已經實施了週二生產線調動，因為過去確實發生過這樣的情況，有兩週到三週的時間，我們沒有花時間在生產線上，因為有太多其他的責任，你知道，只是日常的職責，他們從與實際的動物和拍攝的事情轉移到了開會、簽訂合同和檢查事情上。

So we brought in the line Tuesday so every Tuesday there is no meetings there is no responsibilities except of spending time with the lines or with the other animals.

是以，每週二，我們都不開會，也不承擔任何責任，只是花時間和生產線或其他動物在一起。

I think the scariest moment in my entire life I'm going to tell you about that one right now and it has nothing to do with a venomous snake.

我想我一生中最可怕的時刻就是現在要告訴你的那個時刻，它與毒蛇無關。

I've been handling wild black mambas I've been dealing with a lot of crazy stuff out here in the wild and even whether the lions nor the venomous snakes nor anything else has been that scary to me as this one situation.

我一直在處理野生黑曼巴，在野外遇到過很多瘋狂的事情，即使是獅子、毒蛇或其他任何東西，對我來說都沒有這次的情況那麼可怕。

My wife Ellie went to a city and she went to a mall to do some shopping together with Naila and she sat down in the middle of the mall on a bench to feed her with milk and then they tried to steal my baby out of the arms of my wife in a shopping day in a shopping mall during the day.

我妻子埃莉去了一個城市，她和奈拉一起去商場購物，她坐在商場中間的長椅上喂奈拉喝奶，然後他們試圖在白天的商場購物日從我妻子的懷裡偷走我的孩子。

Two women one sat down on the left side the other one sat down on the right side and they were like oh the baby's so cute and is it your baby and blah blah and then they started to play around so with the hands and she felt already uncomfortable kind of moving a little bit away because she was feeding her and she felt like they put a lot of pressure on it and then the one just tried to pick it up and she's like what are you doing no leave my baby alone and then she said oh no well why am I not allowed to hold her and then she said no because she I don't let strangers hold her she will cry she does not like to be with strangers and then the older lady said Anna she will not cry with me and just reached out to Naila to the baby and tried to hold her and in that moment Ellie got up and I said if you don't move away now I'm gonna call the police.

有兩個女人，一個坐在左邊，另一個坐在右邊，她們說寶寶好可愛，是你的寶寶嗎等等，然後她們開始玩弄寶寶的手，她覺得很不舒服，因為她在喂她，所以就移開了一點，她覺得她們對寶寶施加了很大的壓力，然後那個女人就想把寶寶抱起來，她說你在幹什麼？然後她說，哦，不，為什麼我不能抱她，然後她說，不，因為我不讓陌生人抱她，她會哭，她不喜歡和陌生人在一起，然後那位年長的女士說，安娜，她不會和我一起哭的，然後就把手伸向奈拉，試圖抱住她，就在那一刻，艾莉站了起來，我說，如果你現在不走開，我就要報警了。

I was not there she called me on the phone and she explained me what just happened five minutes later or ten I was there we went straight to the security and we checked all the cameras we tracked them down where did they come from and where did they go they were just not just the two ladies it was a third one another man a male behind my wife with a corona mask you know those masks which you we used to wear a couple of years ago and that guy belonged to those two ladies so it was a pretty clear organized thing and they tried their luck but they failed and obviously we got the police involved and everything but it's not a rare thing that happens in Africa that human trafficking baby trafficking they're selling babies they they're like the market is actually insane and and we are so lucky to still be parents of our baby girl and not have lost her but I couldn't sleep for for days and even today sometimes I look at my baby and I was like a couple of weeks ago if that if they would have succeeded my baby would have been gone you couldn't you cannot find these people anymore in South Africa if something is gone it's gone they can make it disappear without you finding it ever again all right next topic values culture so you know it hasn't been really great financially for us in the past because being that positive figure Dean Schneider happy healthy with all the animals who are happy and healthy who have a lot of space who live as wild as possible I'm not the greatest platform to collect donations because why should you donate to someone who appears to be very happy and whose animals appear to be healthy when on the other side you donate you can donate to a shelter of dogs where they look dirty stinky and hurt and they need help right now otherwise they wouldn't survive fact is I'm still a charity foundation the Dean Schneider foundation and we're dependent on money and on donations as well but it hasn't been working very well for us so out of this reason I decided to bring to life values culture brand apart from Hakuna Mipaka Oasis that should create an income source for us and we realized very soon that the margins we get because everything is supposed to be very sustainable eco-friendly from the packaging to just everything we didn't want you guys to have any moral compromises that ended up being not really profitable so it was just a whole lot of work a whole lot of headache so we had to freeze it for the whole year 2024 we adapted the whole logistics system trying to make things slightly more profitable so at least we don't pay on top of it and that has happened in 2024 also we did do the trips which we promised we did those raffles where you could win a safari trip when you buy a product we've got more trips and crazy events happening next year in combination with values culture so stay tuned about that but we did those trip we've gone to Kenya it has been an absolutely crazy adventure but I'm happy to announce that we will be online early next year again we'll be selling you'll be able to come on trips to maybe visit me here in South Africa and it's going to be absolutely cool and last but not least the most important topic for you guys is content I hope after all these topics which we spoke about now you've got a better understanding for why this year we had to shift our focus a little bit more onto other things instead of content but that brought us to the point to create a new content concept for 2025 and this is our new platform is going to be YouTube don't worry we will still publish content on Instagram but YouTube allows us to create that income source YouTube pays per view and it allows you guys the viewers to even donate through a post even here you can do those super likes and special likes and donate something towards the Hakunomi Park Oasis and myself the animals and everyone all the time which is invested into creating and publishing content will be rewarded financially as well so that we can keep the Hakunomi Park Oasis and the mission running still Instagram content is going to come YouTube is going to be our main platform it's going to be more focused on Dean Schneider and his life I hope you guys enjoyed that I hope you guys will enjoy the content in 2025 and see you then I hope you guys enjoyed this video and if you want to see what's next then make sure to subscribe my YouTube channel right now and if you want to see more content you're so welcome to follow my other socials as well thank you so much for watching and see you guys later

我當時不在現場，她給我打了電話，向我解釋了剛才發生的事情 五分鐘或十分鐘後，我到了現場，我們直接去找保全，我們檢查了所有的攝像頭，我們追蹤到了他們，他們從哪裡來，又去了哪裡，他們不只是這兩位女士，還有第三個人，我妻子身後還有一個戴著科羅娜面具的男人，你知道我們幾年前經常戴的那種面具，那個人屬於那兩位女士，所以這是一個非常明顯的有組織的事情，他們想碰碰運氣，但他們失敗了。很明顯，我們讓警察介入了，但這在非洲並不罕見，販賣人口，販賣嬰兒，他們賣嬰兒，他們的市場就像瘋了一樣，我們很幸運，仍然是我們女嬰的父母，沒
