and climate change summit has ended in germany with an agreement to reassess the status of the world's fuel emissions next year well the twenty thousand delegates from across the world attended cup twenty three in the city of bone national representatives from every nation except the us agreed to the twenty eight assessed date for a job today those are the headlines earthrise is next. violence and discrimination are all too familiar to many women in india a reality too often reinforced by molly wood. but it's leading star is throwing his weight behind the cause. of appeal to the elderly and using his celebrity to advocate for gender equality. the snake charmers comic con witness at this time on i'm just either.

the survival of people and wildlife depends on the health of the lot. but as a mom for resources is destroying the armed and all it hearkens. our consumption of the us much reserves has increased by fifty percent in the last thirty years with over use mismanagement and climate change a flood of the planet's land has become severely degraded. each year we lose fifteen billion trees and twenty four billion tons of photons soil and at least ten thousand species become extinct. the land we live on is being strained to break point restoration and conservation a key to it survival i'm giuliana shots and why a q accurate are where an innovative device is helping to protect the forest from

expansion and exploitation from the city and i rachel hawking in western australia for an ancient culture is leading the way of protecting in a desert world enough. veyron. look at it in southern and what i said all along was one of the last remaining dry forests in the country threatened by the expanding city illegal settlements hunting and poaching the forcing critical danger of extinction along with the state of wildlife. ecuadorian dry forests are incredibly biodiverse habitats yet due to human activity they have been reduced to just one percent of their original coverage. i've traveled here to see how listening devices made from recycled technology could help protect the forest and its endangered wildlife. the population of why. keil has increased tenfold over the last sixty years and is now home to nearly two million people. drawn here by employment opportunities migrants

are often only able to afford to live on the outskirts which is now spread within the boundaries of the set along the reserve. and heading into the forest to meet the people who are conserving this protected area. don't perfecto is the reserves chief ranger. that effect. but as it really. has been working to protect the forest for over twenty years but this has become increasingly difficult. and. or more. wildlife. well you know as well

a border in the model. you put a short i only thing you know but idea. but i'm sure that the weather rangers have managed to stop the city moving further into the forest they still have to deal with criminal activity such as land trafficking illegal logging and hunting. and this. is the only song. or not. you both. seem to have meant that he knew what. if there's a corner you have. what up. you know. you're doing. this so you don't live in our own reality. on the other model.

at the end the game. in but. the rangers not only protect the forest but the native wildlife that inhabits it. and i've been there and i have. a ranger here for eleven years for the past three armando has been fighting to protect one of sort of longo's most iconic birds. and that's what they're going to we are going to go by you. deforestation and hunting has left the greek rema car in critical danger conservation programs have been successful in increasing their numbers in captivity but it is not that there are now less than ten left in the wild here instead of. going to. these mccall's were recently released and still need support from the rangers forget the. land that there is a low low. and so. welcome lettuce and no. wood

on the grammar book value. of a government. the rangers are doing their best to stop all illegal activity in the forest but with sixty square kilometers to patrol and armed men to face it's a big and dangerous job for just nine of them. it's especially difficult for them to see or hear when somebody is just passing legally but there's a new technology on hand to help out. engineer tougher white has developed rain forest connection a surveillance system consisting of an old mobile phone external micro. phone and recycle solar panel shards which listens in on the sounds of the vortex. so for my three chair. are wired these listening devices and more that's not really feasible for the rangers themselves to walk around in and patrol the entire place

but noise travels pretty well through the forest and so we can put these devices up in the trees these guardians they can listen to the forest and pick out all sorts of stuff like chainsaws or or gunshots or even just animal noise. the guardian of us how do they work what are we made of these are basically old cell phones that people send to us to put them up in trees and they can last for years they listen to the forest and you can pick out anything looking for let's go up the tree right now and uncle journey up there and see how it all sort of comes together that every isn't far away but i think you can manage now you got it. you mentioned up to here it is it's working ok i'm ready i'm ready. willing and ready. to go with you. know these are the little solar panels these panels are wanted to be had to build out of recycled shards they're lined up here to be able to make use of sunlight under a tree canopy. how many guardians do you have in set along so there are

a tentative local right now at any different locations around at the location and because the microphones are pretty sensitive we can pick up a lot that happens within a pretty broad area all of the static streaming out to a server that we have to this intended that we have mounted up here at the top of the hour now we stream it over the standards of our network even out here in the forest is pretty good. even our conversation right now is being you know is being screened to bring forth mentioned system and you should open up a map and you can listen to or so. with the misled you. are. just a little higher up is the unit containing the phone that the solar panels charge there's a cop on inside and that's a lot of my you know you were trying to make sure they were using what in the country are ready to allow this thing to grow so using existing cell phone service or using ecuadorian cell phones and eventually we're hoping very soon that these rangers themselves can build these phones a problem so they're the ones who are now forced we're just here to buy them

special tools to help them find the. edges so laden ok so lighting is going to be with a storm brewing it's time to make a quick exit from the tree time. eat. eat. the next day i find out exactly how this device can help stop the illegal activity in the forest so here is that these letters are restless and in there is this time with the word location you know the names you know over the phone and then you can start seeing all these are that. there's far more because there isn't there is there are only a few genes just kind of woman expect ok you finally i. took her and i are today's illegal loggers. armed with our chainsaw we want to check the ranges are able to find us using the device which can cover an area of three square kilometers. so

tell me a little bit about how this works i mean how do we know what we train this artificial intelligence model that we built to give it a little bit of a hint it's because training data and they can pick out what we're looking for in their own forward ok let's give it a go. it's true that there were protests. over. there and. they didn't say it's all aggregated you're right. that i think there is evidence that when

people are caught their chain saws or guns will be confiscated and they could face jail time or be fined up to a quarter of a million dollars a day come out of one of those those boxes rather than the other guy i don't know a better way we're going to have. a whole and i want to see if i me will say any ground. that charge me for. the reinforced connection devices are relatively new to sort of long but they have already had great success in sumatra in cameroon in stopping illegal loggers and poachers the world has lost nearly half its force through human activity simple and sustainable these guardians may be able to make a real difference to the forests and wildlife that lives within them. armando takes me to one of the critical locations for the listening device in that you know one of the few nesting places in the forest with a great green. i'm with you on the phone book and y.o.l.o.

y.o.l.o. here with. the three of. them knew the name of the land there they're going to. among them and be here. you know ending. all of the no then they'll go by oh yes i think the same one of you i gave. you a song that i have on my humanity that both they're looking for that are set up. with the global population increasing the rush to use an exploit all finites natural resources is set to intensify. but it isn't just the environment that suffered. since twenty fifteen at least two hundred forty seven land and

environmental to fundus have been killed globally. that's more than four hundred people each week. in the philippines and learned really one hundred activists have lost their lives since twenty times while trying to protect land. meanwhile in honduras more than one hundred twenty people died during the same period including the country's most prominent indigenous environmental data benteke asset us you have a campaign to get to construction of a dam was murdered and her and hug and march twenty sixth. fellow activist pissed off a customer was with her that day he was interviewed by al-jazeera his fault lines. that have been this year younger we forget to take. anything with. internally cut which. is which are by our partners friends by national contract for more useful because he went through in the then and. and there'd be some

oh you know a sign that he isn't a possum you know to think am or you know. what our bill. was joke you know created k.-r. bit host p.c. or. because no knicker i can't periodical but you know he could but yes. but he has talked to those but see you if you noticed that he told you is it the whole must believe it's ok. up to sixty five percent of the lands on the planet is managed by indigenous peoples and communities and yet it's estimated that less than twenty percent is legally owned by them with these vulnerable environments increasingly becoming a battleground the fight to protect them has never been more important. the strain layer is one of the most buyer the best countries on it and for tens of

thousands of years its land has been skillfully managed by its best people. traditional small scale banning was an integrity part of maintaining the ecosystem since colonize asian many indigenous people have been forced off their land. in their absence large wildfires have moved in are divided by climate change and rising temperatures. i'm in western australia with the traditional ernest returning to their ancestral lands rekindling ancient practices to protect one of the largest and most intact already has systems in the world. for tens of thousands of years of soft airier of the western desert was home to the muddy some of them were contacted by europeans as late as the one nine hundred sixty s. and they were cleared all seles. since then enormous wildfires had. state of the

landscape with around eighteen animal species disappearing from the area. on my way to the desert so i'm stepping up to me. next on how fire has affected my country. have there been any particularly sad by. country the biggest was a brain somewhere in the order of total half million active this is an image taken over ten knots and it shows some of the flaws in the west and that. this fall is a mini mall walk and see. if there's a mega flaws or extreme events we're saying they just huge events where there's a lot of pride of some of what's across drive and then you end up with a landscape. and you know with the first lot instructions coming stones next on the left on checks this sort of thing will only get worse so how important is a to have country auto plants cut when the interaction of people

really does it. is that the solution to these destructive wildfires is surprisingly. traditional burning practiced for millennia is now being brought back to the land. in two thousand and two the modern one native title over that land morning and they have since started a range of programs a key part of which is continuing this ancient practice to. dry season has just begun to rise so i'm joining one group as they go deep into modern country for two days to start their fire program before wildfires can take hold right anyway without looking. i'm indigenous to from well pretty country i spent part of my childhood in a remark community northeast of here so i'm looking forward to getting back out to

the desert carol williams has been a range of if the last five he is what made you want to be a ranger. turner annoyed not a crowd of. about things before you became frank i'm not really proud of. what the is one of the relatively few aboriginal elders left he remembers using five ton to tearing his bushman day. he's in. good knowledge of the landscape means he can show you the younger ranges how and wet to bend to keep the land healthy. little you learned or learned the government of the world only a lower number than i'm going to love for your money. then the dinner. and then related are the words that entered you know woman.

i've got a bit of a plan for you to act like tough but that was comforting in and watch out for oh what a horrible horrible murder. this traditional method forms thousands of small clear patches that can prevent large wildfires from taking hold but where the birth rate goes up in the way i look at it how does lighting a fire stop fire if they wreck a fire like that they make enough fire breaks the rug strikes and if not big will for about the time that which i get scared just stopped yeah and a friend start yeah within a matter of their firebreaks yeah. the ranges are only bad when it's cool and as the vegetation is still green from the rains the small file will soon go out. for their money by the legibility a little. long my money by legit a lot of lawyers. really got under

a lot of the weird. night . they crawled off of the file ere their eyes a so in sharing with what to look for on the sled. under the union and a. great night you know. well a lot of again we're going to let you know. oh and they are getting. a lot of them right. there. when syrians have been benched they provide a diverse mix of habitat conserve the native flora and fauna. the regrowth in this small burnt patch provides perfect far reaching grounds and the range is now mack and monitor the animal this is a male really it's got a. big years ok. a stray leah has the worst

rights of mammal extinction in the world. like other animals the bilby a small nocturnal masuk peel has been in decline since the modern left the land the ranges now math and monitor population numbers using g.p.s. trackers and camera traps then behind a building how they really did attract them from. and why the camera then i would you know you can bring it with if i'm. not serving him and this i have worked mata over and i think i'm a fighter when we're done. here. right. now we've got a bit of bush tucker it's time to set up camp for the not only him but look at. us .

this is going to cook up some kangaroo tails this. good like this but i used to just sit back and watch my tears to. him because there's so many of them all over the country in the mud who have a will be like god woman i'm not a clue but the mother of the woman i mean the one well i remember the. blood the but tomorrow we're going to head out to monitor another of the endangered species and blacks like to run well in the. the ranges didn't always work alone in their conservation of the wildlife here on modern country one of their own is is aleisha withington from hawks and wildlife

has been working with the ranges for the past five years and they are in a mess i mean yeah you say. that i were going to. be traps up in my skills good at risk of extinction in the past few years black flagged rock wallabies have been found in several new locations on modern country l.a. sugared told you that they were rough full of b.c. i was lucky enough to come out and say this exact swans look at teligent they way they don't work or think one can pay neither country so i will really help us out these tribes will enable the ranges to monitor the health and genetic diversity of this well a big population. i once just found some scots. here and that's a good sign you can find your for equalities large scar while far as the ending of days ranges really takes its toll on the soil a really good fart program is really important and i'm the country so much healthier because military. angela. jared managed to recover

a camera truck which could show whether a healthy population of rock wallabies is persisting here thanks in part to the continuation of traditional model burning in the area and then boom now. that's incredible. like i want to throw. my hero and. since modern have returned to the desert in areas where they're burning the overall size and intensity of wildfires have reduced dramatically but the moderate on to learn there are one hundred indigenous ranger groups across a stray leo hoping to restore over sixty seven million hectares of land. when you're out here and he see people like walk out lighting fires you see the ranges caring for the endangered species you understand that. without them this country is not going to support them. it's made me think about my own country it's

something that's hard to articulate you know that connection that aboriginal people have to their home country and it really brought home to me. remember the moment you know. there were. the serious consequences of destroying on land approaching the development of new methods of conservation. is trying to do from the u.k. aims to reach used forestation by sowing seeds faster and more efficiently than ever before. while the alley cropping technique in central america replaces slash and burn a culture by planting flowers of anger trees this creates healthy soil allowing crops to be cultivated in the alley ways. internet and tobago the roots of the guts

of a plant which can be over seven metres long find to the soil to prevent landslides solutions like these a vital to help us protect the land but more important still is that we limit our consumption of natural resources the future of our planet depends on it. transport measures employed to tackle pollution in one of china's showcase cities the thing that my twenty twenty on attacks seem to want to me only like you. want. and how environmental grassroots campaigns are joining forces in the us there is a global connection that is happening and we're going to utilize that power to make change not only for today but for future generations as well. this time on al-jazeera. with a big breaking news story it can be chaotic and frantic behind the scenes. people

shouting instructions and you're trying to provide the best most accurate up to date information as quickly as you can. it's when you come off being seen pinned that you realize you've witnessed history in the making. on counting the cost venezuela and if the oil rich country fails to pay if that well look at what a messy financial and rattling could mean for starving people our lebanon's economy is getting squeezed plus why zimbabweans are buying food court counting the cost at this time on al-jazeera. hello again i'm off. these are the top stories here at al-jazeera.
