i want to east. for nearly 3 quarters of a century world leaders have gathered at the united nations headquarters each year for a highly visible and often contentious debate this year in the midst of the covert 19 pandemic the session will be mostly remote but the few possible know were the exception. and joining us from new york for our special coverage of the 75th united nations general assembly. on al-jazeera. one of this trial is beloved must see feel. they're under threat from one of the most painful diseases in the natural world so be on the critically endangered list for the 20 is no doubt in my mind. what i want to make so bold about lori who is unique sanctuary could hold the key

to this survival. her brain is a survivor when she was hit by a car many of her bones were broken during. the local vet wanted to put her down but donna stepan doesn't give up on a woman. she's building a sanctuary dedicated to saving one by. its own sleepy bar and the life here is anything but sleepy in one word but would you describe your daily

schedule of. insight because that's what everybody tells me i am. every year holding 301 back to me to help brought here to her property in sound while. most of the one bats are orphans after they bother with each one call. to daughter and her husband built their own individual net bag that is most generally cats can all this is casual. and this is eminem's kitchen friends and i'm sure morris let me. go. quiet. now they are. the youngest one bats live in

3 rooms of the house and so should make themselves a hong kong so let's just concentrate. octagon lot which one. get into trouble. boy she not that. it might not seem like it here but wombats. solitary territorial animal done his job is to prepare the food for eventual late into the. 3rd the 1st one that is better to around 6 am. come back to cool off one around 11 pm so since all of this is. an old a job and frankly i don't think i'm cut out for

a while oh well that but. when they're not causing him the young sleep in boxes and bags set up to replicate a borrowed or a mother's pouch this used to pay a living room and as you can see now. it has been taken. by well that's completely the idea was never to have them in the house it was to keep it secret but the centuries just growing to a point now that it's not it's not possible that. we're at 200 percent capacity. so if this is. the youngest it is amba who survived offer a car killed her mother if she was killed just 50 grams when she emerged from the

pound ammons quite literally a handful of. what i do is i tend to oil them before me. so that when i fade her she's come to think. she's already got it in the right day. and this is her 4th week so she's she's doing good. always nestled under a donor shirt abah requires feeding every 2 hours. she's making good progress. 65 grams. but in 5 grand. i am happy. every 2 rows with. another one and is right at home and playing with the family dog.

but domestication is he's probably. rise to the pitch in the city and he was fed dog food and only type out saw it on car trips. one but it's normally spend about 2 years here before they're ready for release into the wild but former pets like andy teich much long. we hear of people who have the mill eagerly all the time you go to remember some of these moments of never being outside. he'd never even grass he didn't know what dirty is this is beautiful and that i can interact with him i can be with him but at the same time it makes me angry because it's not how he should be. but we'll fix. it was a callous i don't want to write that sick on the part to say. she

saw a car reviews run over warm about rising by the roadside then drive away. they probably didn't even know about them but it was probably just a night of fun. there was no thought to what would happen afterwards to the animal how long it would take to die the fact that they drove off laughing. i promised it to that animal that i would make a difference. i knew i could create something good with it sorry sir. what has come out if that as horrible as it was is something i hope is more powerful in the long run for one bets. since then donna has built sleepy barros each with school for one but it's the pens around the sanctuary prepare them for last doc in the wad this is one but primary school in

each of these compartments there is a barra which the young juveniles will go into i will bring them in and then only for short periods of time but that's to replicate what would be happening with their mothers and through that they will gain just that slight bit of confidence being on their own and their movement got back into the studio. i have a time this would get longer and longer and longer when they get to a point where they actually don't want to come inside with me that's when we actually move them up into one that high school it's a long drawn out prices like rising a toddler multiple toddlers sitting. on the outer edges of the century place he's caught by working with the larger wombats as they become ready for relationship we go to so few of my pretty quick. you'll start running. much money which the. big

bads was just to buy right. now this briggs keeps feel on his toys how do you determine when it's time to release. a big one but how do you know it's time for the sanctuary. to go hand in any type of office a little. you know if i can dig your big receive. and you know just make up i'm like gold in the bar they're all pretty good songs of the old order. one of the 1st one bats released into the wild has come back to be that sleepy barros. don who calls big vege the teacher she. it's significant in that because of the bond that i have with so the trust that i have with. i was able to get close to her in the bush. so i could watch monitor and then bring that information back and we

based how we built their environment do it around what vegetable to us. but soon ours donor discovers a shocking development she has it start in the front teeth all over his head last. big bed which has sought coptic my age and she said she got it quite severely on her belly. so clearly it's at the sanctuary. not happy to see her trying to. suck up to is a vice who can tie just to things when left on trees and the results are reduced to suck up to mange is a parasite in the last decade a it has escalated to every single year the amount of areas with mange one that's just continue to increase is 10 years ago i could have given you mange 3 areas that we look to release in i could not do that now for you going by

out to any would we believe around 70 percent of the wall population in new south wales is directly affected by mange. but the worst recorded outbreaks the one about night which can be found on the southern island of tough minded and around to prove national park is ground 0 for the disease. the woman population in its national pop declined by non to 4 percent in just 60 is all because of mine which. now locals few with up by g.e. to mention other warmed up populations who go the same wired we've seen them disappear in the hundreds just in this area admittedly this is the worst area probably but it's not or slide it into this area see he's been at

a caravan park me of by the main you showing me a graphic example of the problem. 2 wombats with badly advanced marriage looking for water and grass that's one that we've been training now on and off for a year because we can't find his bar he doesn't seem to be responding to treatment really well. to try and save the local population the works with the community action group. in a last ditch effort by swap one of the one bats box with side deck to a chemical used to treat sheep last how do you feel when you see one bats like that to me it's quite confronting to say is it is and if we say one that died and we often do that it's just heartbreaking. the markets which caused by age can thrive in a barrel for up to 3 wakes. me up another volunteer

lauren foreigner is helping bait to find the wombats forest tong yes some of the team put flaps at the entrance and put it aside decked in on the doors to treat the woman buckets but we feel they soft want to wake with subject and it's we've got a nice sauce bottle it's a chemical that treats the mines minus the tips of the flap which dispenses the chemical exactly where we want it on the back usually that's the healthiest healthiest part of them and that. this method is very simple and can be done by almost anyone the beauty of it is we're not having to disrupt the phrase living will last that can continue about their normal daily life but they getting treated . cameras monitor their behavior but the volunteers admits the success of the treatment comes down to luck and best is

a bandaid solution because one bats use multiple borrowers and often mice with infected animals of say no they are healthy when going in the same bar was a mangy one he would go to and. that sort of thing just capering infecting each other and quite despondent we go up and down i feel sometimes when making a difference and then on the days when nurse. undeterred big keeps making more borrowed flops in her garage using ice cream can time the lives she says demand for her kids is higher than ever across times my news. the volunteers believe the government should be doing more so far all the government's really done is just monitoring why aren't they treating the animals seriously you if you would be prosecuted if your dog was walking around with mange and you just looked at it and monitored it so we're saying it's a conservation issue and that we are seeing the decline of one bats one bats at

a statewide level are not decreasing in tasmania the numbers are increasing or at very least stable dr rosemary giles' is a biodiversity expert who works with the tasmanian government department responsible for mind control she says while the parasite is bad in one bats across the island there is no reason for alarm we're confident that several populations are increasing. we have evidence and we're happy to rely on that it's robust we do know there's been a regional and a very localized decline there's no denying that's true but our one bats endangered absolutely not for anyone but affected by mentis national welfare issues it's a terrible thing to see an animal so severely afflicted by mange and so that's a real priority to try and find an effective treatment we need to drive and that doesn't have to be applied as often for as long.

dr scott carlow from the university of tasmania hopes he might have the answer with tasmanian government funding he's trialing a new topical treatment for you. at the moment if we want to treat along that from the ranger was on that we have to use treatments from have to deliver every week and it's really challenging to do that consistently told. so what we're trying to look at as a longer lasting single treatment that can protect individuals for up to perhaps 3 months. psychotic mange causes perhaps the most animal suffering of any disease i've ever worked on. and one by the same particularly susceptible one of the reasons is that they live in a bar and in the bar the mines are able to survive off the warm beds for long enough that it can reinfect and one beds die and mount a very good immune response against mange disease and end up getting a very severe form of of the disease called crusted mange there's probably no one

solution at the moment we don't have any text me that really controls it and wild populations and that's perhaps the key challenge. back at the sleepy borrow the sanctuary donor agrees more solutions they to be. the whole approach to the current epidemic needs to change we need to remove. emotions and know that the reality is that the majority of these animals need to be euthanized in the best interests of the other. that's the harsh reality of where we're at. i know a lot of people want to accept that. but with mainstream bets that we work with for every 100. probably around 90 percent that's the reality so that 10

percent that do saval those are your core animals to concentrate on those have a stronger immune system that can recover and that can be reintroduced to the wild and that's the gene pool that you want to work on. it's unfortunate that we've got to this position. it is what it is we need to work smarter before we really want out of time. they've got the welcoming committee. marcus foth is a professor of industrial design he's working with donna to create an alternative treatment solution. the manged wombats brought into care so this one hears rumors and closure. for 3 years they've been testing what they call borrow hospitals many quarantine stations built on top of natural barros if i open this work done here you can see there is a very regular normal natural woman. that a woman

a healthy woman has constructed for us and that's how the design started then we can build the party here and so this is where a woman can come in when it wants to feed wildlife carers could use these borrowed hospitals to treat one bats with the pill while they are feeding because it's a very quick to administer treatment just once a week the rest of the week there's no other stress factors and we're trying to limit any other influence of human contact so the main purpose behind this is to create a less intrusive process for a while one yeah but the sad reality is that a lot of warm beds in the wild if the mange infection has progressed to such a stage that they have a secondary infection they eventually sometimes turn blind or deaf this particular treatment methods is not going to save them in fact the humane thing would be to put them down for

a hospital from what i understand of them fantastic for treating individual one that's a marine and one that's into captivity but they're never going to manage or replace disease management at the population scale those things always have a limitation on the number of animals that can go through them we know it works we use it here for the last 2 years if we could recreate that over and over again in the different states managed by the people who currently put their energy towards mange one that's in the wrong way they could become their own quarantine centers that people could utilize the results would speak for themselves. to be able to openly of all the disparity. in the very wage. so initially. drug. dealing with trouble has become a part of everyday life but don't and professor ford says he couldn't have done the

project we know donna is completely amazing having worked for so many years day in day out and night in night all the cheers or beautiful woman whisper and understand some quiet quiet natural 8. 100. people and on the other the interesting even. the stupidest construction yet. you and the grassroots one about conservation groups are sounding a very similar warning about marriage yet the government and academics are saying the population nationally is stable and there is nothing to be concerned about they

people who sit at desks spend one week with me those people here were saying and making noise remarks they are not working every single day with the magnitude that we see that makes me angry i almost want to say hair day because what they put out as economics and so-called experts is what the world is believing and it's not the true message of what's going on. so don't tell me it's not a problem. rather come and see what we deal with directly to tell me this sorry. despite the challenges they face the sanctuary's work doesn't stop when you want bouts always arrive. dead lady 10 minutes from going to reveal each so i'm going to

have to go down. get this one that you mean come back pick up. here. through heads to a nearby town to pick up a woman from a local bass. the boy oh boy you need a lawyer corridors. need picking up the spain. clicked on with. this joey was found in his dead mother's passing in the phantom. that's going smiling this morning. in those books it's another mouth to feed that sleepy borrows but phil says don't take the challenges of sanctuary laws even though strong. she's a trooper she just chug along oh don't they she does it. all things just the

courage and love for him you know only. the ring that's all of this. seems just told. despite the growing burden donna never releases a while back until it's ready i don't push any animal i let them go at their own types. through the rehabilitation process and. we must be doing something right because our success right is 9095 percent so everything that i do. good way around getting them comfy getting that getting them confident it's not to do a one but factory and to get them in and get them back out that what the century is about. donna hopes in the future but more won by the centuries in australia modeled on the

principles of what this is all right. because she ne i'm sure. if you won the lottery what would you do with this century. but boy as much money as i could to the 10 words. is no question about that. we are going home to botswana when modern mankind originate. many moons ago mankind migrated from the majestic coyote to begin the journey of the modern human across the world and as the dust settles everyone is welcome back home to. our pride your destination because you have to choose between your sight and
