up in 60 minutes on d w. these places in europe, a smashing step into a bold adventure. the treasure map for martin globetrotters. describe it as some of us wriggled, begging sites on youtube. and also the, we often forget that this planet does not belong just to us. it is also shed by magnificent creatures as the planets belongs to them as much as adults to hello and welcome. i am a product of the annual watching equal in them. and while these creatures have headed best, largest to live, but also try the non natural environment,

we have made their lives leaving him. and this episode is all about those people who are trying to change this and help save our biodiversity. okay, imagine this. it's late june or the july. it's a warm evening and right as dusk steps and you'll see tiny spect so flight in the is close to the trees. like nothing to eddie. this just means that fireflies have entered project. but did you know that fireflies are close to extinction because of habitats loss best to size 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 work on their phones with each or 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 into 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 pulse like needs. the one man who was very invested in this phenomenon is a more 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 mostly at camp sites. firefly festivals have been drawing, taurus and hordes. one festival and the other tribal village of bush bodies 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

guys overlooked that they. i mean that 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 to cut some of the, the full, not me, i know, but it, they're going to sound so eva, well this child community firefly tourism has done into a unique livelihood opportunity right in the backyard. more than a 100 families take part in hosting tourist showing them what router life is like, including 2 traditional means. each family owns it on $3000.00 will be the $33.00 euro is a month. but this is a red case of locals benefiting as well as a general form of tourism. normally 5 by festivals in my head, i start our cause for concern among why life of to the 5 slave festival. the

daughter going to have of that. but i noticed 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 and you have the plan for the beginning of female, which is walking down below. you know, below your feet. people should not be allowed to go any of that 3. because the communication will be disappeared apart from that, the female or a really good kid. so if that's cute, the, you know, make demolition with them for got into the over 20 different firefly festivals organized by various to operators across my restaurant. but they differ from this one. doris i lot to offers of loud music bodies every night. barbecue has encountered files. sounded like pollution from these activities are among the biggest threats to fireflies which need darkness to survive by basically calling just on on spend

a good has been fighting against us so far with head 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 monthly total troops who are taking people firefly for students have 0 understanding of fireplace. they don't know the species, they gives the heater information, they just go to see that. and then they have the thing lights, which i put out. and this age by a 150. that is, you know, that's not going to be fine. a lack of studies and knowledge about fireflies have already left to a significant decline habitat loss due to oven development. pesticides and vehicles of traffic have also contributed. and this has you have to big impact on more species than just fireflies. fireplaces are basically predatory in nature. they are hunters that have this small, but a very important condos in the forest. so they control is the population of the car,

dogs that control the population of many other, you know, me, flies and get his flies and several other insect which can become bessler's. so dad, who owned as best control is very, very large. so any number of, of drop in the number of fireflies can have a direct impact on the forest with their livelihoods closely, intertwined with the beads and species. the port is why the community tells us they are overcautious about the barrels of commercialization doors here. i mean to, to the line, including with fools like no use a flashlight, a no overcrowding much. they put it there, get that done. if they've been some doris even tried to catch the fireflies them, but we don't allow them to do that. um, folk are nice fireflies, the dining and fragile and we needed lead di, if you catch them. you know, we educate the doors that the seas will be, deals with the short legs when i and the beauty of nature is best enjoyed by watching events as the light of the firefly, not only symbolizes its own health,

but that of the forest. the local community and the entire ecosystem would stick the regulations and more conscious stores of the fireflies light can know for a long time to come. busy how would you've seen if someone captured you? i'm full to 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 animals smuggling is those 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 as 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 yellow, she was confiscated from a private owner who had neglected her. so that means she must have been poorly fed from the start, but not less than 2 seats in cons lined. 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 inspect the ships arriving in a country from the nearby continent of africa. maria pay us their works for a special environmental crime unit in passenger luggage here that the airports, she's found birds, snakes, and tortoises. for the kids

so sad, the left side of it will be so ruthless. people have no chromos about tearing these animals from their habitat mental. 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 3 minutes. total organized criminals are often behind. it happened as by ability think of some of the, the 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 feel this is a highly profitable business being taken care of for a monkey. for example,

it might cost $5.00 or 6 years in africa. and here it can fetch 2000 euros or more high level, or include so much according to the world wildlife fund. this global business is worth billions. so if you d as says the illegal animal trade comes 3rd after drugs and weapons. but it's impact is underestimated to dealing with difficult people, it'll ask for arms, trafficking and drug smuggling, or taken more seriously. more effort is put into enforcement, wiley and border funds. 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, the cell, i know i tend to look for yeah, the dealers are using new technologies, selling the animals on the internet on it. it's a say, well that say this and 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 use the cloud to leverage the business that they lost, the yellow she used 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 legal trade makes, can you?

and many of the wild animals like her into products that lose their freedom forever . the. it is just sad. what can we do to animals, 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, these us williams can do magic's to the sledge entity and the productivity of the soil. and they're also key to maintaining the biodiversity on the ground. don't be scared of a lot. 7 for all us, so i need to be held. the 3rd ones are really necessary. azako, deed in pharma, from the village in audio is making natural fertilizer using these 2 months. and what is that the about the, you know, what's i, oh, not a better comment. there are lot of families around our village,

so i wanted to do some things related to agriculture. i also have some line, i can source visual materials 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 a lot of the day before me. another guy did it, but he only use me from forced for his crops and it's produced. good, he's, i loan this, take me from here. you got us, is it? so up, up on the not a lot of the now the only difficult think about the technique is very simple for us to prepare to combust bed and put got done on it. man a for a low on the they have to spit it on or i'm benwood manada leaves on don't want to keep the temperature down. we been what to add for 15 days and it becomes soft like a button which is how the rooms prefer to eat and let it and all this operating the government to provide the dark space for the dental ones come up and eat. they die just the organic ways and outcomes. the fertilizer one were on the market. there

are 2 types of both worlds. native bonds, an african one addict of the group of thing, and number i'll bring them about it. doing is what we use on the asked to consult bonds because the native bonds only the sort of the most opposite, opposite of what it is, but the after 218 more things and give us a better use of because they also multiply very far in all marks the biggest not they can model from the i'll think of the either one the nominee just wanted to boost the codes from reproduction. the also a geography to the go down and put it in the bit. these are old natural methods to use the fertilizer, the solvent then denial letter in the the got academy. we typically stop getting used in 45 to 90 days. so that's what we think it's on the top and see where to remove any small rocks or 2 weeks on the well, then we package it into individual bods of 10 by 25 or 50 kilo's. what if i waive

them? i'm finally deliver them to our customers on, on a positive as to the possible risk on. if we do, on give them the passcode on a good deed and has become a successful entrepreneur in audio, little small. so if 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. it women, farmers 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 4th lego from us and sell it to them. we used to use chemical for the night of those. but now we have switched to wilma, on 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 integral. what are those level of thing?

and i'm also the one that most of my orders come from. people who have debt is gardens and people who own body feet. they mostly live in bangalore, engine light. but i also shift on places in time and not the full of a lower kind of predict that since you started the business of 2019 for sales have increased the study. she sense of what a lot of will have the practice of the kind of an old entity in the this is on the, on the homeless mother. 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 me said that a guy being identical from national, reviving the simple traditional method for fertilizing metric a saga. these are 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 home for pushing methods. i'm the biggest to for in the, the 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 a c. monet 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 for if you have a name, you have a story you have uh uh, something to defend. and uh, you even do this things that are manufacturers. i mean, also has more, which has a name as respectful name. and i'm sure they don't, they have enough things to do with these people. eventually we find a merchant who's willing to discuss the darker side of the coral. trade maple catallo 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 see 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 the south to country. and so they spin the

phones and then coming in any tiny they finding another way. we had to the other side of the mediterranean sea, where into barca onto nice as 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 was no more coral available was a what am i stuck on? what at some point that would probably be no more or less at all heavy and people die out more. that shortage already makes it unaffordable for people here and they need to have no money. who can afford top polity, co jewelry, that may be artists or business people 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 fisher 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 to, to get pressed. good to go high is on drop as you know, i can get you those up. the carl is last the only one kilo ends up being costs as, as almost to answer 5. he says, the coral is smuggled by a tanisha and send all over the world demand in southern europe and asia is especially high. he says it's hard for a forty's to verify the corals origins. the coast guard regularly conduct searches of boats at the small port of 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. my husband and i just

wanted to see and they, austin, store the goods and the city a be that with a capital tennis hospital, then they tried to exported not the classic route is to italy, a subsidy been witnessed. that could be that, you know, from there, the coral is often transported to destinations as far away as india, somewhere minutes. but 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 cassie and 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, placing the coral stem from one thing, humans and their greed you and how to wish and thought of that will just like many other species are. corals are dying because we no longer give them time time to grow and develop. simply don't appreciate the treasures of our oceans anymore that

make a i think it was you in the seattle 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. and remember that story of the daughter and 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. but lucky for us and for that environment, some fishermen are trying to things of the c dot 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 lodge 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, the 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 duke one's ovation works and we told people about it, they said, why should we save them from? because there is a superstition that save those bring bad luck of the info, the background or been but you disregard such notions. oliver ladaja is considered wonderful because they often get caught and fishing. you just got it near the cost. when i'll make a run, this will say the summer, during nesting season, every female returns to made eggs on the same beat. it has to go under though i did cut and got to get to the yard $150.00 to $200.00 daughters died just between tonight and the triangle area. so you can calculate how many daughters must have

died in the last 20 years since we started working. i mentioned 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 a debt that those of lead the project, the 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 pressure folk are also being sensitized on how to reduce the harm to daughters by modifying them. that's the collect up discarded meds to instead of letting them drift into the ocean.

i wonder what amino on. now under that, i mean thinking about it on the fisherman. how do you know, put you, getting lots of fish has always been my going either one that happened. this can never compare to the happiness. protecting and really using b. c turtles into the ocean. because here we are saving lights on the arrive at a, in a good at the antenna. my one daughter, we've got bought them together. they have collected almost 60000 kilograms of go snippets 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 these animals do for us and our planet 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 budget for our biodiversity. but if you will let me know what did you like most about today's episode? and what would you like to see more of? 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. almost gosh. the
