The Outdoor Channel is gearing up to launch an original series, Carter’s Wildlife Animal Response (W.A.R).



Having grown up in the bush of Africa, host Ivan Carter, native son of Zimbabwe, is a conservationist, professional hunting guide and photographer. From heavily armed hordes of poachers who butcher endangered elephants and rhinoceros, to the exploding birth rate of Africa’s population, the continent is in a constant conflict to symbiotically provide for its people and habitat.

“Carter’s W.A.R. is an example of how one man with a message can help change the world in which we live,” said Jim Liberatore, CEO and president, Outdoor Sportsman Group Networks. “Ivan Carter is one man trying to educate the world about the importance of conservation and how we all can help accomplish that goal globally.”

Carter will take viewers on a journey through the bushes of Africa where he confronts the wildlife transgressors trying to destroy its awe-inspiring habitat for elephant tusks and rhino horns. Carter’s W.A.R. also will help viewers understand the constant struggle the people of Africa endure just to fetch water from the nearby river and the importance and duty of conservation practices.

“This show is more about how we – as members of the world community – can help educate people unfamiliar with the daily life hardships of the African people,” said Carter. “Africa is the birthplace of civilization and we are working hard so it does not become the deathbed.”
