a legal financial. one a one ace bolos one girl's journey her to a remote village. on al-jazeera. thanks.

glenn. the tiny village of tundra deep in madagascar has lost primeval jungle. the people who live off the land hunting fishing and farming. as there are few paying jobs money is scouse. because they are they must build. cities from russia south from them the. little man the. team you can plan their life. and also doing any and some of the facets stuff that you have. opened up to them so much about isaac and

for you. robert now one of the is one of the few villages who has ever had a proper job he used to be a forest ranger he protected the forest from those seeking to plunder its precious woods but a few years ago robert was fired the game keeper has now become a poacher he smuggles roos which i read and true. play all different and i don't. need the all laughing. we. need fighting among and with but poaching is not without risk the tree is in such high demand that it's 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 fell 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 so i. think that other people are local in nice but the. public in general in london by they. are down the bug me and a bunch of yeah. yeah i'm saying go on cool. foundation and act in their own meaning they were there for whom one of the would be let's look at what indian was like a little bit on well you. can find them

are. carrying packs weighing as much as 50 kilos and barefoot the group also has to negotiate a demanding jungle. he was on a monday. after a harrowing 2 day track the group spots another truck because. robert is worried that he may be carrying the last of the rules of the trees from the area. a day to come on up the mccann might. be dumped on the midterm to going out to. visit with its mates when i got off with a function a year or 2 when little atlanta and then she will mention the lap room afresh if

you like using the discussion can outlast us like a singer. on a lark. 6 days deep into the forest robert and his men have found their treasure. if they can get this rosewood tree to market they would make enough for the next 6 months. a tree this size confided to around $10000.00 that's all. i think. it's got your money. 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 in organising young men. who were talking and then when i was a man and. the way to bring it down is to chop down the trees around it it's estimated that for every 100000 precious trees chopped down half a 1000000 other trees are sacrificed to bring down and transport the malleable cargo addict thing. that's going to. pull.

in the middle east will see the panic of. the tosk is enormous and robert changes tactics so as to give to the planet it is. going to get. chopping the tree at that height is proving increasingly difficult. the men will have to sweat and their money. so far. away from the ample yasser that we're. ours the men toss the axe around. the heat is overbearing. words

therefore mocking them living in the know it can use. cool restaurant oh now that about 4 or more talk to me look at all this won't go. under i mean everything short and eyes. your. money out of like you wish to live. after 4 hours the 1st part of the trunk gives way. but the branches are still traveling the top of the tree. well 7 they tried to pull it down by force. but after 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 but 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 coal one particular resource has new it 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 as 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 people all together. i thought and i thought it was a high commission could go to mission land like think that like. any out down by the fish up tonight but the. shepherd and i. chatted and got our.

they let champney to get out mission damage to ben actually mission to me at all. to report as i man but some alone time and i'm beyond it down as i know 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 . manova with. that eva. and what good are the monolith. and i mean i. only let. the money rob. but finding stuff is not easy.

bacco massey and others work in the finals barely 50 centimeters high 30 metres below the ground. beneath the sea and. to move on. from the. thing it's my job. to try. to control things test. strips the hours go on the boat around the farmhouse no malicous negotiations have borne the garbage in. my boat up all the time of the mile and a half hour. in the early.

she's old fashioned arm candy. thank you. a multivitamin lambing long as a listen how did santa clara but how about the bomb and bombing. the farm from a man out of all things. that my. condition down here are excruciating it's a constant 40 degrees celsius making this whole feel like an oven. to 3 legged animals. hoping the organ in the compound could have been writing this book. it's also dangerous many have lost their lives in search of the precious stone. that was.

from my model. model from my samples in the live. footage she gave me on the. script in my mom is a little on the civil. side are all part of. 30 meters below ground oxygen is. none of the mine known as kind of food proper ventilation systems and other fresh as provided by the men's ingenuousness. it's basic but it works most of the time. and importantly it costs very little. the problem is the tube is barely 25 meters long and doesn't reach. much more

again you. do it. on the way of. showers we all saw signs of ouch that have been around long see mom woke. up by midnight on the console to. john the toilet still there is a medical or a mountain of the stuff in the fall the last bag could have cost them their lives. often. the fun not the money. that's the ticket. for.

me. from. the i life fruit of danger and all for less than $2.00 a day. after more than a week in the jungle robert and his men still haven't found a rosewood tree that's big enough. running out of supplies they will soon need to head home but today determined not to return empty handed so a few months earlier the army had chased them away from the forest and they have to abandon a rosewood tree trunk they are now looking for that tree is a. cousin in that you. are left with that guy that got away. while the hole 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 in a funny book i think they have the heart of the ending of book ozzy is a modern monster suggests a baby of optimising. the trunk weighs about $300.00 kilos transporting wood principally depends on the length of the rope. when in the cause of a good thing a thought on its own. is as gump a comedy to these english with some because using my bottom this ng. just so long to. rebut. them to any human is exactly the. vocal. than you or i love to see you for the victim live for the love.

in. the trunk needs to be taken to the river 30 kilometers away but 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 them are not coming. up. an important role in the book are going on d.v.d. we are going to mock my. own cut out of the whole the moon boy and go into the woman. he had and knock his moonlit flesh and i'll body let the thing that we love i love i mean that meeting is over with a little. talk with. dr phil the other day on the job and they've all been a lot of other model on them up or down so i think a lot again that. no one knows for sure how many are killed in the process of

smuggling precious wood robert estimates there are at least 3 fatalities again. from. a night club. of. jurors in the g.g. and i got. cheers and jeers and then that's he's done nothing. wolf agendas in case you haven't just because you don't want to 2 years and that's going to come on of course is a. good. go over you. know how about a story. like. this one knowing. it was all finding out. it was all.

done. by night. i was all fine thank god. god god god. god god god god. god. you know i'm going to say this is. the only week to go to school and then have the monks in the swimming covered one 3rd of the journey. 6 ahead. exhausted they'll spend the night here and their white clothes. one of them a king after the day's exertions. w.v.u.

put in a whole module will project. it out and take a beautiful. despite the 2nd night prophet and his companions have lost none that's a timely fashion. i do thank. you cut because. it's taken nearly 30 hours to reach 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 $400.00 commuters

a bruise which will fall on top of that junk cars are just off the communion down when you fill up the total thank you to the 2 days in county cars in color which are causing if you think of one to 3 having it out you're going to keep coming thank you no is the pilot's. thank you thank you thank you thank you. thank you. thank you thank you to the 1st rapids you know dismisses his copilot who apparently isn't being my child thank you. thank if our son a little piloting say oh i'm

a special the family from pondering the cause i mean i think that's come on by our somebody looks like they did. the right. off to is virtually uncontrollable. iraq has shattered his paddle and he uses his hands to slow down the wrong. the waters a bait and should know can look for another paddle. in a building in the condition in the many colors that she. doesn't.

it's taken 5 hours to travel down river. but. the others will now take the wood as far as mechanics of using the fingers on the continent but. once the trunk is in the canoe it just needs to be had and. the molding rules i mean she showed a lot of measuring these. traits of when you're going to try it and when the lack of being there and the longer you're using it and i mean in the end of the it. was a lot out of this just for that part out man yes 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 border has become a stomping ground for trespassers. as desperate people transgress an illegal passage. to feed an emerging field trafficking markets. we follow that perilous journey unguarded through the line of lead risking it all led. on al-jazeera.
