into entrepreneurs who can tell us what i mean by their wide fundraising empowering them to reclaim their futures we teach them how to operate this story in my shoes how to make it back in the old new prosperous communities some of them invest the money into the business school from the uganda part of the rebel education series at this time on al-jazeera we know the culture we know the problems that affect this part of the world very very well and that is something that we're trying to take to the rest of the world we have gone to places and we pointed out a story that you might take an international network for months to be able to do it united nations before or after you know if i'm tired you know. you are challenging the voices were challenging companies who are going to places where nobody else is going. this is techno showboat innovations that can change

lives in the science of fighting the fire we're going to explore the intersection of hardware and humanity and we're doing you to communicate with me. this is a show about science low turnout by scientists. tonight saving the macof i'm in the proving amazon that we're on the search for endangered mccall no techno is on a one of a country mission looking to lose weight from a car race for elegance and in some parts of the world in danger it's a race against time to the climber up top just yell down saying that she saw a lightning strike to save his species time to hurry up i'm filled to or is from an entomologist i do much of my research in this jungle own i'll share my findings with marina davison she's an environmental biologist and dr chrystal deal with a muscular neuroscientist that's our team and i know it's do some science.

hey guys welcome to techno i'm phil tours joined by dr chrystal de worth and marie davis and so just picture this you are deep in the rainforest of peru when suddenly a flock of red and blue magnificent creatures takes off in front of you they are beautiful but let me tell you they don't start out so pretty you have to be talking about my cause i'm a bird biologist so in my day i've seen a lot of baby birds and i have to admit i mean they are bald and can be pretty ugly but i mean it's also ugly that they're cute because they're still associated with their rain forests kind of like their mascot but they're not so ubiquitous and are in there an endangered species and they're at risk because of habitat live salute because when the habitat is in trouble these birds are in trouble and we join a team of scientists down there that are working hard. to make sure it doesn't happen take a look. elusive

charismatic cause or undeniably stars of the rain forest and there's a special place in peru where it's still possible to see macaws and all the while glory that is if you don't mind a little travel. and we're heading to the tumble part to research center a place so deep in the proving amazon it's taken us two days on this boat just to get there. there are sixteen species of macaws left in the wild down from more than twenty the populations of all of the species remaining are on the decline . seven such as the blue throated macaw in danger of becoming extinct. because of deforestation close to three hundred thousand square miles of the amazon

rain forest gone since one thousand nine hundred seventy eight. timber and were culture and mining. then there is the illegal pet trade it's not easy being one of the world's most beautiful birds pack these these juvenile cars and to bang to smuggle than and more than half of the an individual dying during this process. any hawkinson is the fuel leader for the macall project at the tumbled pata national reserve she's one of a team of researchers who are using science to save the macaws why study because our very special anna monica there and mary intelligent and yet they face a lot of threats and their habitats today's mission takes is deep into the reserves for those threads are constantly mad play where in the middle of the breeding season tumbled. potter is essentially a giant laboratory in the wild six species of macaws inhabited this thousand plus

where miles of rain forest rain is a constant in winter but too much rain can be a problem. today we're going to see how a pair of two week old mccutcheon acts are fairing the odds are against both of them survived examining the chicks is a delicate and daring operation. one lead veterinarian elizabeth pore through gives lou you know presents for the chick exams on the ground any hawkinson gets ready to climb to their nest above i don't like heights but with nest close to one hundred feet up the team has no choice but to cause i'm. because like deep cavities high up in old growth trees those spots are hard to come by even in a protective force like. this scarcity of mess leads to deadly fights between nesting macabre parents and other macaws looking for a home they will kill chicks if

a well harm the parents and they may cause such a disruption that the parents might be unwilling to return to the nest that's why the macabre project is researching man made miss like this one called mandy lou once any reaches the nest she opens a special door to access the chicks separate from the opening the adult macaws used to get in an element inside our first peek at the hope for the next generation of macaws. the frail pale chick is not what you'd expect but it is alive and any needs to get it down to the ground quickly safety is paramount for these vulnerable chicks any uses sanitizer on her hands to protect them from germs the bucket that will take them down is warmed with the hot water. because these chicks have no protection against the cold. dr porter to give new york

first ways the chick and then photographs it and yes this is what i'm a car looks like in the first weeks of his life no hint of the jungle beauty it will become this chick is the first of the two to hatch like it's sibling it's named after its nest mandy lu and you know not the interest of the other that a man needs to get in the city and there for them and they say yeah but on the wood nest like mandy lu have been a big success story a tumble part of research here has shown that more cars can raise chicks in vs just as well as they do in natural nests. the veterinarian takes detailed body measurements to determine how the chick is doing at this stage of development. the flying. then men dilute to is taken out and photographed next to its order sibling. is normal and there are. no nos not in mine

not a moment in which only one ear on the paternal. doesn't see him but i say you know it out of the earth. if you or him a car chick it's best to be a first hatched because i'm a car mom typically neglects those that hatch later so the first chick that hatch has will receive all of her care and then the second tick that hatch as if she has enough resources to care for that check text number three and four will usually die from starvation. even chick number two has at best a fifty fifty chance of survival to. most on the story and nothing in which i let you fit in here at the menu of those doing. this but isn't so. that. there. today both men delude chicks had

a good checa. there's a new kind of nest being tested out at tumble pata it's made of cement soaked burlap researchers want to see if it's more durable than wooden nests which only last a couple of years in the jungle. sixty five. but today things don't seem to be going well for these two chicks from the experimental nest neither shows signs of being fed by their parents and researcher liz piper is concerned i mean these because it's just a beginner who they are and they come back from the clay and they're going to feed them there you know. time to get these chicks back home. research after sundown at the center can be challenging a generator provides electricity only seven hours a day. a good head lamp is your best friend

along with your mosquito net to keep unwanted guests out of bed. and during meal time you have to keep an eye out for the occasional thief. this one targeted our techno crew. a. pretty good idea. this macaw is in a sense near the center with his mate. they're both scarlett macaws a species that can live to the ripe old age of fifty in the wild scarlet macaws are doing well here but endangered in other regions in mexico less than two hundred fifty survived in the wild as. twenty thirteen the result of illegal pet trade and habitat loss. you know since you will has little to fear of

humans that's because a little over twenty years ago in one thousand other scarlet macaw chicks were chosen to be raised by hand at the center then released into the wild the macaws participating in the study known as the chicos. the ones that these researchers when going to die they remove them from the nests and raise them here what was the purpose the cars were disappearing because the illegal pet trade was looming cars were at a really high demand in north america and in europe so they wanted to see if reintroduction of the cars was a viable option to save some of these populations the study was a success more than half of the scotoma cars released survived at least seven years in the wild some of these new cars still stick around the area and those cars are the most aggressive with us because they have no fear that humans. and this morning

the team is doing a check up on you know since you and your choice two chicks but unlike the wild macaws these parents don't leave when annie climbs to the nest. getting chicks out when mom and dad are home and home is more than ninety feet up he is challenging. it. uses these paddles to gently push the adults out of the way. then she places the chicks in the bucket and sends them down to researcher liz piper below. and they leave. she goes can breed out of season because they haven't ready supply of. year round they steal it or charm it out of humans at the center of the

. race and bred into it is. if the extra food source also means chico's or more likely to raise more than one chick to adulthood . his pleasure. it was time for these little guys to go back to their parents and any to come down. after seeing the researchers reach heights and views normally only the macaws get to see her figure it out for me to give it a shot. who . is much harder than the researchers make

a walk through. were hands of time a length of time out of breath he will be sweaty. with a view. over his ears. and. there are two more chicks the need their checkups today from the nest called hugo. huge. only. a problem of the known dead from the learn as. you go one is a little over a month away from being ready to fledge or take its first flight more than a teacup is needed to hold this bird as its weight. by this age

the wings in the feet are almost the size of an adult and. so the climber up top just yelled down saying that she saw a lightning strike and she thinks there's a storm by ten or fifteen minutes away obviously not good to be at the top of the tall tree during a lightning storm and these macaws don't do well in the rain so it's time to hurry up. right. a few more photos and it's time to bring out hugo to a nest with two healthy chicks is rare i was lucky enough to see several including these two guys look so different three days. that the system is in. use or side veterinarian elizabeth for through good is also going to take

a crop sample from this bird to get an idea of its diet the crop is this board where they store food before digesting she's prison lubricant on the tubes they can pass through the throat of the macaw comfortably. helps them because they're. basically in the first fifteen thirty days of its life this will be quite red from of the clay that eats the world it's this age their diet varies a lot more so this is all good stuff research on a macaws diet helps scientists see how the rain forest is critical to their survival a quick swab to make sure the macaws mouth is clean and a good check up for this mccall is done that is amazing look at. what cars are known as umbrella species making the right conservation decisions to protect them means protecting the countless other species and this special habitat

they call home. and right now this habitat here in the tumble part the national reserve is thriving. researchers reported that all of the chicks we saw have now fledged even the two in the experimental cement nest in each success here offers hope for struggling mccall populations throughout the tropics. overlooking the absolute do nothing secret he wonders to now. and. when it comes to studying creatures living inside the amazon rain forest. is about as good as it gets. this gorgeous creature is

a juvenile red pill and it looks so fresh because it just. brimming with force in life there are likely thousands of species yet to be discovered and that's where i come in techno first visited here in two thousand and thirteen to look at this spider i helped discover it's a family's fighter disguised as a bigfoot ship. that was the first animal recorded to actually build a fake animal from scratch we also went to solve what was making this mysterious structure we call so can't judge. these discoveries were talked about around the world like your online at reddit even on m.s.n. b c which compared my discovery to the hairstyle of a new york city celebrity or perhaps the inspiration for donald trump's hair back

in tumble ponta it was time to check in on the spiders and more. first up the decoys. after searching the forest the night we came upon one just meters away from the research center and were able to document it for the first time ever in the act of actually building the fake spider and catching prey consider this a success in my book. but not all of field work is guaranteed success some. times the forest has its own plan. a moonlit boat ride to a nearby island to take a crack at solving another amazon mystery last year i led an expedition to this silent to solve the mystery of so can. and despite a few hours search in the area in which i had previously found many turned completely empty frustrating but all part of the process. but not all was

lost on this island visit i encountered one of the few species out there that even scares me and had to documented for a colleague's research project to meet the wandering spider the deadliest spider in south america one of the ways you can tell is a wandering spiders by the color underneath its front legs so i'm going to tap it a little bit see if it gets depends if it should lift them up to take a shot i get at it. the next day tracking down a recent discovery that really has me excited and never before seen butterfly interactions i had been able to solve despite several attempts. coming back to peru i had no idea if i would ever see this butterfly again but i just spent three hours observing it and already learned so many amazing new things the scientist in me

couldn't be happier. here's how it works it all starts on young bamboo plants first the butterfly lays the eggs then the skin involved the caterpillar stages a butterfly it actually leaves the clients out of a specialized glands and in return the ants protect it even from us but what's new here and what happens nowhere else in the world occurs once that caterpillar develops into the butterfly stage the. butterflies actually trick the air and steal their liquid food coming out of the bamboo and normally eat butterflies not share i'm ill with them. these butterflies likely tricked them by smelling like it but even more unique they look like them to. the wings of the butterfly have a pattern of an ant hidden within only revealed when we saw them in the wild.

to top it off we caught a butterfly actually taking food right out of the mouth of an ant something also never documented before. with this behavior recorded a new i wasn't coming home empty handed science like this helps us understand the wild world around us and the importance of protecting individual species which may influence another. after one last jungle stroll into the night i had all but forgotten about not finding silk hinge the night before when miles from where it should be this happened well this is completely unexpected end of my trip through the proving amazon heading back to base to pack my bags and i turn to my rights and look what i finally found. this is the rain forest wild unexpected always

a challenge to understand and though my time here is over the macabre researchers and others will keep on hiking climbing and documenting their way through tumble part of. it because as a group some species are extremely into injured others not so much the ones that you guys were looking at where they fall so they fall kind of somewhere in the middle basically a lot of their population is fairly well protected and that's why this is such an amazing study site because you see them as they should be however if you step outside of that in places like central america the same species is in a lot of trouble because they're regionally endangered things like the illegal pet trade is given to them have a tad lost is given to them so by understanding what is going on there we can see what should be going on in other places that for me it was so exciting because you know i'm a chemist and a biologist i work in a lab indoor is a very sterile environment so this is a really great reminder for me that science really happens anywhere and i mean you

guys have the entire rain forest is your laboratory it's pretty cool i must tell you sometimes i'm out there and i envy the life in the lab because you guys can do repeated experiments they are controlled out there in the rain forest it's pretty hard to control snow out in the old environs row. from climbing up to the canopy to look inside a macaw nest watching butterflies an ant hanging out in a way that has never been documented before we hear a techno have the privilege of access to these types of stories from scientists all over the world will bring you more next on will see that. dive deep into these stories to go behind the scenes at al jazeera dot com slash techno follow our expert contributors on twitter facebook instagram google plus and more. in the next episode of tech note the team looks into the environmental impact of

waste management trash is a big business than and forth with a smelly bill goes to the complexities of recycling when these different plastics are blended together then the recycling becomes difficult to impossible and the science that office solutions is very easy for us to have one hundred percent recycled material techno on al-jazeera. the scene for us where on line what is american sign in yemen that peace is always possible but it never happens not because the situation is complicated but because no one cares or if you join us on set there are people that that are choosing

between buying medication and eating they say is a dialogue i want to get in one more comment because this is the one who's an activist has posted a story join the global conversation at this time on al jazeera new yorkers are very receptive to al-jazeera because it is such an international city they are very interested in that global perspective that al jazeera provides. he ruled for nearly half a century a controversial political figure in the cold of the middle east and one who was never far from crisis at home or abroad. in a two part series al-jazeera warrant tells the story of king hussein of jordan. episode one so violent on al-jazeera.
