a mixture of sadness and peace. with the election behind us while the republican party probably the few weeks take on us politics and society not the bottom. live. live. live. live. live live. live live live.

live. live for us. it's. the tiny village of tundra deep in madagascar last primeval jungle. the people who live off the land hunting fishing and farming. as there are few paying jobs money is scarce. because there are there must be. cities from russia south from them the. little man the market value team you can find their life. and also doing any and some of the tacit stuff that you have. to them so much about isaac you know 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 ruthless and rare and valuable troon. play all different and i don't. give easy meat they all laugh and laugh as you know we champion need for 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 foul and carry a rosewood treat while evading police and navigating madagascar's unpredictable

rivers and forests. handling time going to be. a big boon reaction. it's not only the police they have to avoid marauding thieves have also been attracted to the area so i could talk about that and it was all local and i was going to move the. public in general and london but they. are down the bugging of the bus yeah. and you are saying go on pool. foundation and acting in their own meaning they were there for whom one of the would be locked up but indian public yellow don't step on one little.

contender. for carrying packs weighing as much as 50 kilos and barefoot the group also has to negotiate a demanding jungle. bunny both 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 rosewood trees from the area. are going to come on up the mccann might. be dumped on the midterms when out to. visit with its mates well and then i'll go for the fountain a year or 2 when little atlanta and then she will mention the last new night

a fresh seemed like using escape from can outlast us like using a sky on color for. 6 days deep into the forest robert and his men have found their treasure. if they can get this rosewood tree to market for they would make enough for the next 6 months. tree this size confided to around $10000.00 that's all. i think. it's got your money. so let's cut down on the little rosewood trees grow extremely slowly they take at least 100 years to fully develop. and. foreign.

workers. i mean i'm not. going to go for the morning. but after a back breaking hour of trapping down this giant there's a problem in organising young and. former talk 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 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 to give him a hearing on it it is. he's got the insulin it automatically that. chopping the tree at that height is proving increasingly difficult. then men will have to sweat and their money so far. away from ample yasser. hours the men toss the axe around. the heat is overbearing.

therefore mocking them living in the north can you. cool restaurant go now that are for all the more talk and look at the whole. 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 they tried to pull it down by force. but ofter 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 cold one particular resource has new of thousands to this mining town of and so on sufiah is. 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 metres shed by the 2 families with their wives and children 7 people all together. i thought and i thought it was a high commission to mission like think i like. any out down but that's the shop tonight but the shepherd and i. chatted and got our.

they let champ need to cut out the mission damage to pay not to mention me at all. events report as i remember it seem a long time and i'm beyond it down as i know how to use after 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 time but they are still one of with. filing 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 meters below the ground. beneath which. to move on we try to think if you must. try. to control. through the trash just trust the absolute on that thought and that the time has now malicous negotiations have gone to god but i didn't. try both the time of the mile and a half hour. which the early.

she's old fashioned arm candy. thank you. so much roman lambing along and said listen how did santa fall when i bought the poem and bombing. the farm from a man out of all things. that my. condition down here are excruciating it's a constant 40 degrees celcius making this whole feel like an oven. to 3 legged animals. oh golly i hope i'm going in the same town could have been writing this book. it's also dangerous many have lost their lives in search of the precious stone. that was in.

my model. model from my samples in the live. footage she gave me on the. discovery that in my mom is only a child. so it all part of. 30 meters below ground oxygen is. none of the miners kind of food proper ventilation systems fresh as provided by the men's and. 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. out on

a gurney. well. i mean that on the council i'll talk about. john the tough still reluctant call it a mess up of all of the amount of i mean stuff like doing it for the last bag could have cost them their lives. month old. baby don't let the what's the fun not the money. that they come.

from. for the i life fruit of danger and all for less than $2.00 a day. off to more than a week in the jungle robert and his men still haven't found a rosewood tree that's picking off. 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 the tree is a. cousin and such because you are left with that by the cattle and. 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 model it's a baby of optimising. the trunk weighs about $100.00 kilos transporting wood principle depends on the length of the rope so much. when in the cause of a good thing a thought on its own might act as any. gump a comedy to these english with some because using my bottom this ng. just so long to. rebut. them then he she runs exactly both. global. you or i love to see you for the victim lived as a pretty 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 tough. on them up 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 womb. day out and now this is our moon lit for us and i'll buy to let you live we love i love i mean that meeting is over with a little talk with. the other john john they've all been a lot of other modern woman them up all down so out it came out 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 club. of. jurors in the g.g. and i got out. and that's good i'm not. wolf agendas in case you haven't just because you were 22 years in and out from full command of what is it. grew over you. you. don't see eye to. eye on this one knowing. i was told. it was all.

done. by night. i was all fine thank god. i thought oh no i did. not. want to. come back. i'm going to say this is. the only week to go to school and then have some months in the spring covered one 3rd of the journey. 6 who. exhausted they'll spend the night here and their white clothes. all of them taking

to the day's exertions. the more you give put in a whole module will project. it out and take up the whole. despite the something nice and his companions have lost none that a timely fashion. thank. you cut because. it's taken nearly 30 hours to reach the river but the trip is far from over head still in the rapids. this is the last leg of the journey for robots and he's 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 drunk when you fill up the total thank you very much indeed mazing tony because in color which is out doesn't mean if you think i've done a craving it out you're going to keep coming thank you know is the pilots. thank us thank you thank you. thank you thank you thank you the 1st rapids you know dismisses his copilot who apparently isn't paying much child thank

it's taken 5 hours to travel down ruka. the others will now take the wood as far as the kind of. musical numbers on the continent but. once the trunk is in the canoe it just needs to be had in. the world i mean she was showing measuring these 30 year periods of when you're going to enjoy it and when the lack of being there and i like a very good thing and i'm in and out of me. than a lot out there is just rather hard out man yet smuggling is in danger in the forests of madagascar and the authorities lack the means to stop the train but for
