australia the friendly joyful will in good fun and win a world cup play with al-jazeera for all the latest from the 29 so you cricket wild card. and conflicts one of the silent and forgotten casualties is often the environment. from the chemical contamination of soils and the collapse of water and food supplies to the habitat damage caused by displacement. has devastating consequences. not seen any manmade infrastructure has but also natural ecosystems are destroyed and i'm alive so i lost as well as human. but even amidst

the most vicious struggles through people fighting to protect the world we live on to cover what was lost. i'm tanya a sheet and bangladesh in the world's largest refugee camps where people are working to co-exist with the elephants for which this region is home and i'm happy with our love and on we're group of scientists is rebuilding a seed bank that was displaced by the war in syria. in august 2017 a brutal campaign of ethnic cleansing began in myanmar. the military and buddhist radicals claimed the lives of more than $6000.00 in a single month. fearing death thousands more fled the country for the 4th of bangladesh. the scale of the exodus was enormous. today they are still unable to return home. there are over 1200000 rohingya refugees living

inside of the sprawling kept the bunker that. this is now the biggest settlement of refugees in the world. many of them don't have access to clean water sanitation or even electricity. but after they arrived the survivors faced a new threat wild elephants rampaging through count. i'm meeting on one about them who witnessed an initial episode firsthand it came from there we did. have a. look and it came to pass you know from the jungle over that way when directly to her shoulder and started beating her heart with it but it struck. this was no one on allison struck repeatedly throughout the camp killing 13 people in the space of 5 months. can you tell me

a little bit about what happened during the 1st and last run of the mother died it was just sort of the body was difficult on her own to hold on to the little one little bit of a little bit a little bit is out of the way you know what happened after that but i took a little bit of that i will put it to you in wimbledon or the us in the morning the lot of you would only knew go down ahead of the yes we're going to say you're the one but i didn't hear whoa hold on a mother that the duck behind a mother said the whole as if it had told the public good was i love you i go last when you go for someone what okun is all about bob 1 it bloom is about a lot. more go how to google the girls or whatever you pulled over a lawyer. who moved. the attack sparked an investigation into what was going on. recchi but i mean from the international union for conservation of nature believes the rapid expansion of the

settlement had a profound impact on the natural environment this is the edge of the camp of the cave right this is where the forest began yes what's been going on was the cause behind all of these that you see on all camps they used to be forest there the seems to be an elephant have habitat. to cap expanded at an astonishing rate over $1500.00 hectares of forests were cleared to accommodate the influx of hundreds of thousands of refugees. but nobody realised the devastating impact this would have the growing camps severed a vital lifeline for some of bangladesh's last remaining wild elephants blocking a herd of 40 from their only path to essential grazing ground. just over. there is a species we call the elephant now the since the camp is completely blocking that coded door elephant cannot pass through this is in search of his shelter his food

essential for his migration path elephants was trying to calm inside the camp elephant came so many times and you know sent lifeforce and lost. elephant is not necessarily a violent mammal it's very intelligent understands it has uses emotions and is just that he's lost his habitat he's desperate to do this migration. it's in their d.n.a. elephant is a genetic memory is it didn't know exactly where they have been growing where they have been roaming generation after generation they take the same part. the elephants of bangladesh are critically endangered there are just $268.00 left and they're increasingly under threat. $15000.00 hectares of land are already deforested in the country every year. and this cap only adds to the problem. to help me understand what the elephants are up against i've hired

a local guy. so the man in front of me. his name means golden boy and he's our tracker for the day i think we're going to have. it's not long before we find clues that we're on the right path. hug it out that is if when are they boggling going to say is that they just hold bungalow blanket and say that it really colored in that i would thought i would have basic i thought i'd leave bungling is that. we find evidence of 100 elephants everywhere where you just stick to co-exist and it's just guys like the elephant whisperer. tells me that by the end of the summer much of the elephants food here will be gone. then they face a nightmare scenario attempt to migrate through the cap to me in march in search of fresh vegetation or risk running out of food. and that's because as if i was

with it and i guess if they don't go there very we're following the actual footsteps of the elephants elephants have walked along this path every season for thousands of years until they were really excited i wonder for actually going to encounter some elephants or being told that just a few steps away that they're there and then against the odds a moment i can't believe. a majestic standing proud on the horizon. it's just a white spirit i've never seen an elephant like my own my 1st time. it looks so peaceful in its natural habitat it's just really crazy to think that before the caps were put in place that this is what it was a large bore with animals roaming about and now there's

a human made crisis play with sprawling refugee camps and it's just a very sad situation. but a select band of refugees is working to solve the problem. with the support of the international union for conservation of nature they're formed a group dedicated to safety shepherding the elephants from the camp. they call themselves the tusk force. central to their strategy our $94.00 watchtowers which they built around the camp perimeter. they are manned by a team of over 500 brave refugees ready to intervene and protect both the people and the elephants. i'm heading up for a bird's eye view. of. ok so what's going on there simulating what actually happens when an elephant comest and you see the yellow

shirts yes. possibles men less so they are using their medicine they know how to respond and they want to form one of the many and slowly moves towards allison so the delavan understands this danger i have. down on the ground it's clear how committed the test scores are. happening conditional training go to the right. i stand. by that i think i see me right now that i think of this so i think. quite loud and scary i think that was certainly sure an elephant off. since the test 1st started there has been no loss of life here despite 45 incursions by elephants it's an effective temporary solution until a longer term plan is made for managing the animals migration. to the

task force has motivated the community with over 500 people signing up to join and has supporters throughout the camp. what are you doing over here when is this. going to happen. i think all these different patterns different colors seems like it's a lot of work to do why go through all this trouble to do it and out of the holocaust my mother had to be. one where only one with a machine a 3rd of. the depth of my body which. really matter. do you feel that there's more danger living on the edge of the forest versus people who live in the interior of the camp. which without a doubt that i both saw what. i thought of philip is not good. at the good of.

his own with. his own i've been lucky and. not only do people feel more secure they are also more sensitive to the elephant situation saving the animals is now even part of the school's curriculum i believe you know what you're. doing. the objective is not to build on this momentum. recchi was already taking steps to find a permanent solution to the problem beginning with an in-depth scientific study of the elephants migratory happening. we are planning to put radio on that list and this will give us a valuable data valuable science to have a better management of the whole situation once the exact migration route is no the goal is to clear a path for the elephants so that they can migrate unhindered once again of course

we want to open the total astronauts possible that are so few issues that we need to consider before doing that it will take about 100000 people. people to move somewhere else that would be an immense logistical challenge but as human refugees continue to resettle around the world. bold moves are needed to reduce the impact on local animal population it's what i've seen here gives me hope that animals do not always need to be victims of conflict and that a peaceful coexistence is possible. to. the over 40 armed conflicts happening in the world today. each of them will leave a dangerous environmental legacy. and we can see that protection the environment is a norm and something which we do better standards in place yet you're in conflict is almost anything goes because whatever damage your mind can there's no accountability there's no redress. we see very severe damage to many countries in

that many different ways damage to infrastructure such as syria's ribs a water facilities over extraction of resources. attacks on industrial sites causing bust massive pollution so you can have these impacts there's going to spiral on and lost for decades after the conflict ends. we're in iraq in 20162017 islamic states at $530.00 oil wells on these ben for 9 months covering hundreds of square kilometers and for lots of pollution. dealing with the time a nation caused by these fires is going to take years. so for the last 10 or 15 years we've seen increasing interest from governments around touch them into relation to conflicts it's got to me a favor it's got to move fast extol the comforts of merriment came from spandau mission many ways and that has consequences. so unless we focus on the environment you're in conflict and storing up a lot of problems in feet. in

the in a turbulent world where conflicts and climate change are threatening our environments and scary part is that the crops through and for food are increasingly finding it hard to survive. and in some cases they're going extinct. crop diversity is essential for food security and has declined by 3 quarter since in 1906. but there is an insurance policy a global network of seed banks these are backup repositories of seeds which safeguard their biodiversity and can we turn to in times of crisis. when more broke out in syria in 20111 of these vital stores came under threat. on the outskirts of aleppo the team of scientists charged with maintaining the seed bank were forced to abandon their work and flee the country. but they never gave up

hope. when some of them resettled just over the border in lebanon's bekaa valley they began rebuilding their collection. i'm traveling to the i car to seed bank to meet one of these scientists dr ali she had the eye of a good to see it to what happened to the seed bank in aleppo syria it became possible to access to the gym by all 3 of the premises and told it with all the 15 because everybody.
