we often forget that this planet does not belong just to us. it is also shared by magnificent creatures as the planets belongs to them as much as industrial. hello and welcome. i'm father got divided annual watching equal in depth on why these creatures have had a bus well just to live, but also try the non natural environment. we have made their lives living. and this episode is all about those people who are trying to change this and help see i biodiversity. okay, imagine this, it's late june, early july. it's a warm evening and right as dusk steps and you'll see tiny spect so flight in the as close to the trees, but nothing to eddie. this just means that fireflies have entered project. but did you know that fireflies are close to extinction because of habitats? los vestos, eyes and artificial light. well, there's a community,

a tribal community in the west and state of my head astra, which is trying to do something to help save these fireflies and look on their phones of the say, yeah, there is an imposing mountain region west and india as douglas falls over them a very special light comes on the bio luminous lights of the fireflies. while a female is slight to some weights on the ground, male fly around lighting up the sky and looking for that perfect means the one man who is very invested in this phenomenon is almost but fun time. and then to monitor just the fire flavor. basically the beatles, ok a little bit out of color flavors that actually beat those that a few just on this planet who communicate with the light signal. so firefly that a one of the to this natural phenomenon has done it to a popular tourist attraction. organize must be at camp sites. firefly festivals

have been drawing, taurus and hordes. one festival and the other tribal village of bush body stands out. it is led entirely by the little community that organizes expeditions for urban travelers. the villages residents work as local guides who shared that experiences with fireflies. so i guess not the kind of guy is what we're going to start date. i mean we did the door is the spots, but they can be seen in abundance. it could have, but they tell them about what scenes they like to sit on. how often they come out, and why they glue in the night need take, got some of the, the full, not me, i know, but it, i've done this on the eva. well, this tribal community firefly tourism has done into a unique livelihood opportunity right in the backend. more than

a 100 families big bought in hosting tourist showing them what router life is like, including 2 traditional means. each family owns it on $3000.00 rupees or $33.00 euros a month. but this is a red case of locals benefiting as well as a general form of tourism. normally, 5 like festivals in my head, i start our cause for concern among why life was or the 5 slaves. 50 will be the organize of that. but the list in the view of picking good for those, they need to be made aware of that. what do you see on the plan? you're gonna need to mean when you walk in the, of the plan for the beginning of female reason walking down below. you know, below your feet, people should not be allowed to go. and you know that 3. because the communication will be disappeared apart from that. the female are really good. good. so if they have to the you know, make them the reason would be important. currently the over 20 different firefly

festivals organized by various to operators across my roster. but they differ from this one. doris i lot to offers of loud music bodies every night. barbecue is on cam fios sound and light pollution from these activities are among the biggest threats to fireflies which need darkness to survive. my basically call to just on, on spend a good has been fighting against us so far. we've had from the forest department. he has identified festivals that cause a disturbance and has managed to put a stop to some of the commercial activities. unfortunately i'd be very harsh to see that the tourism operators, groups who are taking people firefly for students have 0 understanding of fireflies . they don't know the species, they gives the heater information, they just go to see that. and then they have glittering lights, which i put out. and this is 5515. that is, you know, that's not going very far. a lack of studies and knowledge about fireflies have

already led to a significant decline habitat loss due to oven development. best of size and vehicles of traffic have also contributed. and this has left a big impact on more species than just fireflies. fireplace are basically probably 3 in each of the hunters that have this small, but the very important hunters in the forest. so they control is the population of the guy, the control of a petition of many other you know, me, flies and get his flies and several other insects which can become bessler's. so then hold as best control is very, very large. so any number of, of drop in the number of fireflies, again, have a direct impact on the forest with their livelihoods closely, intertwined with the beads and species, the british why the community tells us they are overcautious about the federals of commercialization doors here. i mean to, to the line, including with fools like no use a flashlight,

a no overcrowding much. they bought it to get that done. if they've been some, doris even tried to catch the fireflies, but we don't allow them to do that. um, poker nice fireflies, a dining and fragile and will immediately die if you catch them. you know, we educate the daughters that the seas will be does with the shop legs. and then i and the beauty of nature is best enjoyed by watching event of the light of the firefly. not only symbolizes its own health, but that of the far as the local community. and the entire ecosystem would stick the regulations and move on to stores of the fireflies light can know for a long time to come. busy how would you see if someone gap charge you and put you inside a cage and sold you off against filled with sounds pretty hardly, right? well, this is something that is frequently done to exotic, unprotected animals cross border, illegal animal smuggling is the g o t

w w f estimates that'd be in the good buy life trade business is a $10000000000.00 business and it is on the rise. her heart is still in the wild, but now can you live within an enclosure? spanish animal shelter near a country. the female clouded leopard is only 11 months old, but she has suffered greatly caregiver, belly die is nursing her back to health. a queen, outside of the old grandmother, she was confiscated from a private owner who had neglected her. that meant she must have been poorly fed from the start of my life and she's even gone blind. the private breeder now has to face the authorities for violating the convention on international trade in endangered species. the east asian founded leopards is also an endangered species. so can you, is a rarity. spain has become

a gateway for a legally traded exotic species. the police often find them when inspectors ships arriving in a country from the nearby continent of africa. maria passed their works for a special environmental crime unit in passenger luggage here that the airports, she's found birds, snakes, and torches. for another like it's so sad. the left side topic will be so ruthless people have no problems about tearing these animals from their habitat. no, not in treating them like twice when i say that i'm my being forwarded to this police video from september 2021 shows the liberation of a female chimpanzee who would be alone in a cage for 5 years. the illegal imports of protected animals are rising in 2022 smuggling into spain

increased by more than half compared to the previous year. a full service and in 3 minutes total organized criminals are often behind it. and as by ability, think of something they need contacts in the country of origin to find the animals in it. and you need a network in europe to import them. and they will seal this as a highly profitable business being taken care of. but if a monkey, for example, might cost $5.00 or 6 years in africa, and here it can fetch 2000 bureaus or more high level or include so much according to the world wildlife fund. this global business is worth billions. sophia, the says, the legal animal trade comes 3rd after drugs and weapons, but it's impact is under estimated to dinner. and i think of that of most of the people it allows arms, trafficking and drug smuggling are taking more seriously more effort is put into

enforcement. wiley and border bung, illegal animal trafficking is just a serious, but it isn't seen a search. it's not pursued and prosecuted as often that makes these crimes even more lucrative for the 30s are often overwhelmed and the fight against the exotic animal tried. this with cock, for instance, was probably traffic from morocco to spain. but the smugglers were able to cover the trucks. well, they sell out and i tend to look for yeah, the dealers are using new technologies, selling the animals on the internet on it. i say without service, they avoid detection because they can hide behind anonymous network. so at the new model within a fella, they even use the dark web dart with the authorities don't have enough specialists to investigate properly. an animals are often rescued when it's too late. as we can

you the cloud of leverage the business that they lost, the yellow she's to use to people and she's blind in the wild. she would never be able to deal with her own species. she was raised in captivity. so she's condemned to a life in captivity and go through this with this illegal trade makes, can you? and many of the wild animals like current products that lose their freedom forever . the it is just sad. what can we do to wanna move, despite everything that they do for us? well guess who was a farm was best friend signing it to us and beyond? they should be visa williams can do magic's to the such entity and the productivity of the site. and then also key to maintaining the biodiversity under the ground

don't be scared of a lot. 7 for all of so i need to be held. the 3rd ones are really necessary. azako deed in a farm up from the village and audio is making natural for the light to using these 2 months. and what is that the about the, you know, what's i, oh, not a better comment. there are a lot of families around our village. so i wanted to do some things related to agriculture. i also have some line i can source to draw more details from that. so i thought i would do is let me con post. i got this idea from my father was also a farmer, and he was to do a lot of vegetate before me. another guy did it, but he only used me from fords, ford his crops, and it produced good. he's, i loan this, taken me from here. you to go to says it. so i'm up on the not a lot of the now the only difficult think about the technique is very simple. so as you prepare to combust bed and put got dung on it. man, a for

a low on the they have to spit it on over and then put monopolies on. don't want to keep the temperature down. we've been what do it for 15 days and it becomes soft like a button which is how the rooms prefer to eat and let it. not all this operable the government to provide the dock space only then to put them to come up and eat. they die just the organic ways and outcomes, the fertilizer one for on the market. there are 2 types of both worlds. native bonds, an african one addict of the going by the number i'll pick them up today, is what we use on the asked to can both phones because the native month, not only the soul, of the most oper oper to know what to do with the aptitude one, eat more things and give us a better use, some of them. they also multiply very far. you know, i'm, i guess not. they can modify the opposite of the either one. the number is one of a to boost codes from reproduction. the also a geography to the go down and put it into bed. these are all natural methods to

use to fertilize the solvent. then denial letter in the the academy. we typically start getting to use in 45 to 90 days, or that's what we think it's on the topic and see if it does remove any smaller rocks or 2 weeks on the well, then be packaged into individual bods of 10 by 25 or 50 kilo's, what if i weigh them? i'm finally deliver them to our customers on a positive as the positive is gonna put this on. give them the risk and i'm going to put a good deed and has become a successful entrepreneur in audio. laura, as most of you can tell me not do lately, she has also started teaching them in the fund, moves in the area about how to raise loans and produce let me come, falls to using the fields so far in room and farm is from the surrounding villages have benefited from her initiative and the years ago and i might as well do,

you don't at home, but she told me to do, let me composting since i have some land and resources. when she gets orders from customers, she says she will buy the ford light bill from us and sell it to them. we used to use chemical for the night of those, but now we have switched to will become post because of that the ground. that's that because the way that these be and the shoots, i don't want to big and they use a met the cause of is an artist level thing. and i'm also the one that most of my orders come from people who have dentist gardens and people who own body fees. they mostly live in bangalore and tonight. but i also shift on places in time and not the full of a lower kind of predict that since you started a business and the $29.00 p, as the ends have increased the study, she says that for the life of will have the practice of becoming an old entity in the this is on the, on the homeless month. i'm very happy to be doing this business. i have started a small thing and brought it to so many be a lot of corner. we said that

a call being identical from national, reviving the simple traditional method for fertilizing metric a saga dealer and has adult when you become a non dependent with a work. she's also protecting the in one in the beautiful city of naples. what once was a prizing business is now in danger. i am talking about red corner. this beautiful species is on the track because of several impressions among them on a rising sea temperatures, water pollution, several hom, for pushing methods. i'm the biggest to for in the going to trade off of that. gordon's, like saving these is extremely crucial. naples in southern italy, for centuries, the region has been famous for corals under the shadow of mount vesuvius lies totally del good. i co, the unofficial capital of the global coral trade. local business leaders are

upbeat, read coral jewelry is once again in demand, international fashion and jewelry. brands are flocking to taught a delicate echo local onto putting your money at ac. monee believes this success has helped by a serious commitment to conservation. she says her business strictly follows environmental protection rules. she's aware of the legal coral trade, but says that's a different world. if you have a name, you have a story you have uh uh, something to defend and uh you, you then do this things that are manufacturer is, i mean also is more which has a name as respectful name. and i'm sure they don't, they have enough things to do with these b, but eventually we find a merchant who's willing to discuss the darker side of the coral trade maple

contralto. it says the atmosphere is something akin to a gold rush. he says, although authorities are keeping a closer eye on the problem, smugglers continue finding new routes. i say something of a very cold i'll do for because a day like to let the boss of the woods goods, the car from spain as the needs of a soft blue country. and so they spin the phones and then come with any needs any day finding another way. we had to the other side of the mediterranean sea, where into barca onto each is northern mediterranean coast. for centuries, everything here revolved around precious coral. but unlike in italy, business, the slow local residents tell us 90 percent of the shops of closed because there is no more coral available was a what am i stuck on? what at some point that will probably be no more or less at all. how do you and

people die out and what that shortage already makes it unaffordable for people here and they need to have no money. who can afford top polity, coral jewelry, that may be artists or business people and them. that's it. for years sullen boudreau, we worked as a carl diver, he insists he always stuck to the rules, but now he's grown too old for the job and allows other divers to use his boat. instead, left bishop was a lot of legal fishing going on and that creates huge problems for us because at this roys or carlos stocks and the entire see, but we do the for my house, if 10 kilos of carl or growing on a rock illegal fishing methods will destroy all the habitats around it, is kept press good to go high. is on drop, as you know, he lows up the carl is lost. the only one kilo ends up being costs. so it's almost to answer the phone. he says, the coral is smuggled by a tunisia and sent all over the world demand in southern europe and asia is

especially high. he says it's hard for us already is to verify the corals origins. the coast guard regularly conduct searches of boats at the small port. if to barca 3 years ago they uncovered a network of smugglers from algeria, tanisha and spain, whose global trade and coral was worth millions of bureaus. the husband and honestly, the consumer. they awesome store the goods and the city. it'd be that with a capital to notice possible. then they try to exported not the classic route is to italy, a subsidy. but when it's supposed to be that from there, the coral is often transported to destinations as far away as india, somewhere minutes. but then as you thought, the him in many asian countries, the underwater species are set to have health benefits and even supernatural powers . criminal networks go to great lengths to cashed in on the precious corals which

often live hundreds of meters below the surface. jewelry artisan, more odd are folly, is convinced that all the problems plaguing the coral stem from one thing, humans and their greed you and how to wish and thought of them just like many other species are. corals are dying because we no longer give them time time to grow and develop nothing. i simply don't appreciate the treasures of our oceans anymore that make a i think it was you in the backend, toyota del, could echo the problems of the north. african traders seem far away. even still, many are realizing if they don't take action to combat the illegal trade, the carl stocks could run out forever. from the cost of a key, let's head back to window. remember that story of the the rabbit? the doctor one that's nice, but it was only able to participate in that race in the 1st place because it wasn't extinct. that's right. see doctors are on the edge of extinction and us humans are

responsible for that much lucky for us. and for that environment. some fishermen are trying to things of the see to our toes and push them back into the sea where they belong. the feeder to hot springs have a good chance of surviving etc. pods and launch bought for 10, a residential present hot. i mean, i nearly full 100 fishermen. that's what on a task force along 700 kilometers of the east coast. all my government of dinosaur defeated land. daughters have been living in this war since the dinosaurs. but in the last 50 years, they have come close to extinction. when we 1st started doing to those guns ovation worked and we told people about it, they said, why should we save them from? because there's a superstition that sees those bring bad luck or the info, the background or been but you disregard such notions. overly darcia is considered one of the booth because they often get caught and fishing. you just got

it near the cost. when i'll make a vendor will say the summer during this thing season, every female returns to made eggs on the same page. it has to go under though i did kinda gotta get to the yard $150.00 to $200.00 daughters died just between tonight and the 10 getting paid area. so you can calculate how many daughters must have died in the last 20 years since we started working janette and the porch ending accomplish 1 o'clock. ready the listing season is from december to april. during this time, members of the task force patrol beach is to collect eggs that, that those of lead the project, but eggs in fins, areas and when the hatch to ensure the baby daughters make it to the ocean. avoiding stray dogs and other creditors in the when they came and asked me if i could join to see, to do production unit. i don't know yet sort of,

but i've never done anything to show my gratitude to the ocean as, as any of them, that 1st of all, i also being sensitize on how to reduce the palm to daughters by modifying them. that's the collect up discarded. let's do, instead of letting them drift into the ocean i wonder what amino and now wonder that he, i mean, what are you more this on the fisherman catching lots of fish has always been my going either one that happened. this can never compare to the happiness for protecting and really using the sea turtles into the ocean. because here we are saving lights on the arrive at a new day in a good at, in my one daughter. we've got a bunch of them together. they have collected almost 60000 kilograms of goes and it's and don't done to stop any time soon. i is the best to matthew who would imagine what still i'll do as much as the the animals do for us and dogs on it. we

could do with a little more kind mister woods, them be a little nicer. and not only to from these lovely people that'd be met to on today's episode. so we can do our but for our biodiversity. but if you will let me know what did you like the most about today's episode, and what would you like to see more roles? you can email us or reach out to me directly on my twitter. i will see you next week. do come back until then. dick is good, bye. most gosh. the
