close to extinction for the past 3 years authorities here had banned all rosewood logging. ahead lies a 9 day journey where robert and the other smugglers will seek out foul and carry a rosewood treat while evading police and navigating madagascar's unpredictable rivers and forests. and untangle of the. big. reaction. but it's not only the police they have to avoid marauding thieves have also been attracted to the area. that are really awful awful nice but move the. public in general and london by they. are down the bugging
5:37 am
of the bus yeah. yeah i'm saying go on pool. foundation and act in their own meaning they were there for whom one of the would be locked up but indian public a little stepped on a little. and then them are. carrying packs weighing as much as 50 kilos and barefoot the group also has to negotiate a demanding jungle. he was born in london. after a harrowing 2 day track the group spots another truck because. robert is worried

5:39 am
on the little rosewood trees grow extremely slowly they take at least 100 years to fully develop. and. foreign. workers. minimum. is going to go for the morning. but after a back breaking hour of trapping down this giant there's a problem the order is in young and. former talk and then when the hours are man and. the way to bring it down is to chop down the trees
5:40 am
around it it's estimated that for every 100000 precious trees chopped down half a 1000000 other trees a sacrificed to bring down and transport the valuable cargo i think thing. that's going to. pull. in the middle east will see the panic of. the tosk is enormous and robert changes tactics so if you give him a hearing on it it is. going to get. chopping the tree at that height is proving increasingly difficult. that men will have to sweat and their money. so far. away from iman yasser
5:41 am
that we're. ours the men pass he acts around. the heat is overbearing. words therefore mocking them living in the north. cool restaurant oh now that out for all the more talk and look at all. this won't go. under i mean everything short and eyes. your. money out of like yours truly. after 4 hours the 1st part of the trunk gives way. but the
5:42 am
branches are still traveling the top of the tree. well they try to pin it down by force. that's off to another 6 hours robert decides to give up. without the rest of the tree trunk it won't bring in much money or there. any hope of bringing this tree down is disappearing so is the money it would fetch they have to start searching again about the roof of a tree has become so rare it's like finding a needle in a haystack. tree poaching is not the only extreme way to make a better living on the island some are willing to take even more risks. while madagascar is blessed with natural resources such as spices rough fight and cold
5:43 am
one particular resource has new and thousands to this mining town of and so on. this town sprang up in just a few months attracted by the promise of easy money more than $10000.00 people live crammed together in extreme poverty most of the stones they dig up are worth just a few dollars however a large a very pure fire can fetch as much as 5 or $6000.00 more than $100.00 times madagascar has minimum wage thousands to go away with the same dream the lucky ones might find the smallest stockpiles. bacco and massey used to be farm as the 2 brothers left their job in hopes of striking it rich and building a better future for themselves but their entire fortune from now is this small cabin just 5 square meters shed by the 2 families with their wives and children 7
5:44 am
people all together. i thought it was a high. land like thing that like. any out down by shop tonight but the. shepherd and i. chatted and got on. ok let's jump need to get out mission damage today not to mention me at all. events report as i am and it's my long time and i'm beyond it down as i man how do you suffer up a bit about how we have all. the brothers work for a miner who owns his own mine their pay is less than $2.00 a day if they do find a stone they get a percentage of the sale. monetary . mano board member.
5:45 am

5:48 am
most of the time. and importantly it costs very little. the problem is the tube is barely 25 meters long and doesn't reach. well. not by me but on the council i'll talk about. john the time but still the last 10 years i met up with all of the amount of the stuff i grew up for the last bag could have cost them their lives.

5:50 am
a few months earlier the army had chased them from the forest and they have to abandon a rosewood tree trunk they are now looking for that tree is a. cousin and such because you are left with that but it got away. while the who is smaller than they had hoped this one trunk will get them enough money to get them by for a few months after such as it is a funny thing is if the heart of the ending of book causing is a model is just a baby of optimising. the trunk weighs about $100.00 kilos transporting wood principally depends on the length of the rope so much. when in the cause of a good thing a thought on its own singing. but comedy to these english with some good cause using my bottom this ng. just so long to.
5:51 am
rebut. them then he she runs exactly the. vocal. on you or i love to see you for the victim live as i believe in love. in. the trunk needs to be taken to the river 30 kilometers away getting it down hill is a very risky part of the journey the danger is that their legs get snagged in the rope. so most of the men are not coming. up. on the most part and want to cook are going on d.v.d. and we are going to mock them out. ok got it all the more boring go into the room think they had and now this is our
5:52 am

5:54 am
ahead. exhausted they'll spend the night here and their white clothes. all of them aching to the day's exertions. the more you give put in a whole load module more project. it out and take a beautiful. despite the sucking knights and his companions have lost none that a timely fashion. thank. you come to the test because. it's taken me nearly 30 hours to reach
5:55 am
the river but the trip is far from over the head still in the rapids. this is the last leg of the journey for robert and his men and the most dangerous shooting the rapids with the trunk attached to some inner tubes. 2 men are in charge of the makeshift raft if they fall overboard $200.00 commuters a bruise which will fall on top of that junk cars are just off the communion ground when you fill up the total thank you to the 2 gazing tony you because in color which is such as i mean if you think of on the trail bring it out you want to keep the fish you know is the pilot's. thank you thank you. thank you.

5:58 am
going to eat and when the lack of being there and the longer you're using it and i mean in the end on the. tear out that is just rather odd outmanned smuggling is in danger in the forests of madagascar and the authorities lack the means to stop the train but for these men the search for the ruins work is the best way to earn a living but. the venezuela colombia has become a stomping ground for trespasses. as desperate people transgress an illegal passage . to feed an emerging field trafficking markets. we follow that perilous journey unguarded through the line of fire. risking it all.
