if you see. a family. politicized by the forces of nature. will know before you. came in for documents he's struggling for his survival and builds a template for global action on climate change. the climate dial a witness documentary on. alone welcome to a new series about roy it's pretty calm open it rather windy out here amongst qatar's mangrove forests but there has been
8:34 am
a real sense of urgency making this the middle of content make this port the world's which means and which started because we have been bringing nature to its knees. is just one of many illnesses that are spilled over tossed wildlife as we quite frankly plumbed a notch well and come into close contact with viruses found that about sars hiv aids 3 out of 4 emerging infectious diseases come from animals and one surfaced every 4 months so the need to safeguard wild spaces like this one and to protect nature for its survival as our own has never been clearer. but one time it has also generated a desire for a green recovery or about here to ask for solutions to the environments crisis by starting the series by looking at protecting was life and therefore helping to prevent future outbreaks i think such origins of. investigations have been carried out into the likes of. us and sums. these mammals were amongst the 1000000 plants
8:35 am
and it was fresh and distinction that is hard and yet now we meet the team rehabilitating tropics hunk of it and in southern india locals are defending the only remaining home of one critically endangered bats. nearly one in 5 mammals in the world is of bats. and the rumors that surround their existence are perhaps as extensive as. associations with darkness and evil witches and pirates including contract killer have led generations to see these flying creature as a sinister. bug the grime i totes of call our home to a unique conservation story. for decades quarrying devastated this land leaving its god and created but that was forced to stop when a colony of bats was discovered in a cave in these hills belonging to
8:36 am
a species so rare that it was thought to be extinct i've come to go not to caught in india to find out how conservationists. took on the mining industry to win protected status for this land the last remaining home in the world of the elite no spot. only around $200.00 of these bats exist here and the conservation reserve of. it is also home to 5 other bot species the majority of which reside in the tiny cave in the rock face. i'm meeting with bats biologist roy chuck rivers the un citizen scientists tragic but just when my. high and over to finally know where it. is going to today they're capturing bats using miss nets and collecting d.n.a. samples. as night falls these nocturnal. begin to emerge out of the cave flying into the soft. and i'm thinking the punch.
8:37 am
line. it's remarkable to be able to see any danger. including pollination and controlling. each day. but threats including habitat loss and hunting have left $21.00 species of bats critically endangered globally including this one. in hunting and detecting 3 when. it's been proposed that bats have links not only to covert 19 but also to other zoonotic diseases which can spread from on a move to humans including sars. this is why the destruction of their habitat
8:38 am
has potential health consequences it's only when people start destroying. directly or indirectly come in contact with bats and then. that's when these diseases so that's not the boss it's not the degree to do it that actually threatens us of the species is that you. use the technique called. to navigate using sound. waves to very high frequency which bounce off objects. to quickly establish. if you've seen small boats fly in on st leonards just the speed at which they got the anger is whether it's. there it's all. about so they do all these calculations and milliseconds which is.
8:39 am
the mark i got a lot on. but it was. fearing the spread of govan 19 people have attacked bats around the world in march 2020 in solo indonesia hundreds of bats in a wildlife market were called on orders of the mayo. and i'm a 2020 authorities issued directives to protect bats across the state of rogers town in india after more than 150 were killed there. i. recall our region is one of india's prime age mining. miners would still be on the hill word north of the determination of bats scientists dr barghouti srinivasan who discovered a colony of gold are leaf nosed bats inside the cave in 2030 the species hadn't
8:40 am
been spotted in several decades we found the roasting side of this bat and we found that there was mining alaskan mining happening lots of trucks on this hill and the mining had come to almost 100 metres near the dosing site so immediately be alerted the local authorities 1st and also the local communities we also ran a signature campaign with the villager with our continued protest that you know you need to stop mining a ban on mining happen in our journey to 2015. and an area of 223 acres was declared a conservation reserve in 29 team finally bringing protection to this critical bad habits. these are the kind of monks that you can notice who you are the mining that was happening back then because there is no disturbance at all and the habitat is healing and the 1st signs of healing is the presence of grasses on around us i mean it just goes to show that when you've given land the time to heal it will bounce
8:41 am
back. have you seen a difference in number of bracken are they coming back to the old who sings for the bats had stopped using the 2nd roasting sites because they were small dark by the miners since the mining ban has happened we've seen that you know that they are coming back to those interesting sites and their populations have also increased wonderfully with and do you think their populations will continue to grow yes is there kind of reclaiming lost land in the south yes exactly various species of bugs deer and even predators like leopards have them sighted in this landscape in the recent past all because the protection that a batch brought it. today roy and i are heading inside the cave to try recording the high frequency vocalisations of the call our leaf knows bats using an ultra sound recording device will be getting right up close to them the cave is less than
8:42 am
a meter high and 15 meters deep. i'm pretty sure there are no cluster for big bats scientists. this is right next to my face so cool. you could hold the sign there i mean they saw me for you are the ones who are trapped here but none of them are back and contrary to popular belief. is asking a lot does not make the. so yes the back. and you can see the axis quote from them 200 kya hota so if this is peak winds here we're going to sustain i'm so this spectrogram represents the sounds of the bats i'm making right now yes that's $8.00 to $9.00 times more than
8:43 am
more creeping higher than what we can. really remember that's because only from. the cool our leaf no spot has a distinct call which can be used to identify it amongst other bats in the cave. to show it without disturbance i need to put your phones on. this a couple of them calling it now. you know when i put these uniforms on i can hear these bottle girls they shins that sound almost alien but as soon as i take them off i can hear the sounds of the communities who live nearby of the farmers who live alongside bats i mean if there's any evidence of the fact that bats on humans can co-exist together seamlessly the soundscape is exactly that.
8:44 am
this resolve would not have been possible without the support of the community here . some of whom have become ranges. and we are not overlooking the other good just want to get out there no more properly more than live our lives and i love the glory of it what i own i love to listen to jimmy in and out come from local farming villages around the results of the. day that things are getting a lot wilder looked into. consideration as a part of more than that but once i get my 3 i looked in here to predict what the. managing perceptions are going to vilify species takes can so today. especially when public custody to them runs high. protecting bats in the 21st century will entail engaging with the local community as well live alongside
8:45 am
bats and awareness while shops like this with the next generation can make all the difference. if they can i'd like to preserve. very few that the bad girl. you know what i've gotten. back to. my time here has left me with renewed optimism about the survival of the leaf no spot now that it's only home has been safeguarded for the future. if anything this pandemic has heightened the need to feel awfully protect every corner of habitat that we're left with a newly protected areas. are a step in the right direction. they will still reeling from the fat the kind of 19 times i make remember what we said that a new infectious disease image is every 4 months or so much to estimate there are
8:46 am
1700000 viruses yet to be discovered in mammals and birds and around hasse's those could cross over to human now whether or not that happens it's really down to la. any given species of animal has fire season bacteria that circulate within that population of animals these are viruses that are grown up with that animal over evolutionary time to the point where they've come to an understanding and through normal interaction different animal species might exchange viruses or bacteria if those pathogens are able to jump from one animal to another human activities like agricultural intensification and expansion of farming systems the forestation in land use change even the wildlife trade we're moving wildlife out of their natural environment and moving them around the world these are the types of activities that bring people into closer contact with wildlife and create opportunities for those viruses that normally would circulate within wild animal populations and make the jump into people and that can happen directly or via domestic animals and once the
8:47 am
virus successfully makes the jump from animals into people then it is able to spread from person to person has the opportunity to do that through social interaction locally for a local outbreak might occur but really because we're connected globally more so than we ever have been in history all it takes is a person getting on an airplane carrying a new zoonotic virus and that virus moves from one location to many locations and that's how a localized epidemic becomes a global pandemic it's almost guaranteed that we're going to see another large scale epidemic or even a pandemic whether it's a corona virus or another type of do not expire and as long as we're continuing to do the types of activities around the world that allow these viruses to jump from wild animals into people we need to stop. thinking about epidemics as random chance of beds that were victims of we are directly influencing and have the power to prevent pandemics from occurring we need to make better choices and do things to
8:48 am
protect ecosystems and the natural environment around us which is ultimately going to protect our own health and security. of the global wildlife trade as we've heard is one of the things increasing the risk of animal forests coming into contact with humans since the start of the pandemic the cools to panic to become louder but no regulation of course will stop the illegal wildlife trade and that's estimates to be worth up to 23000000000 dollars each year and it's driving a number of animals to extinction the next step is to make conservationists protests in one of the trafficking most vulnerable victims. have been roaming the earth right least 45000000 years but now they are threatened with extinction despite international trade ban nearly 1000000 have been trafficked over the past 2 decades with many of them being used in traditional medicines or served as highly prized to meet. one of the better you know of the of the training
8:49 am
here and i'm here to visit the town of conservation that work great for going higher end of the world only for killing and. annoy the bustling capital of vietnam far removed from the natural habitat of the shi'ite sensitive wild animals. but behind closed doors illegal trade in penguins continues here even with the country's top wildlife protection laws and the prime minister calling for their strict enforcement after the 1000 outbreak. i'm on my way to the center of the noise a popular destination for people looking for traditional chinese medicine i hear it's not hard to find the animal scales here for a range of help from a. right to lactation problems. i'm going undercover with our producer who's got a hidden camera will tell the shopkeepers i'm seeking remedies for my sister just
8:50 am
had a baby and is having trouble breastfeeding. we try 6 stores the shopkeepers either tell us they don't sell scales because it's illegal or say they have them but get suspicious then he finds out. and buy it and i am left out of our own house on the map but if thing like they are not they left it in a place. that. came out and made after. all they have to take out and have a right to step up again on what. were the pangolin is one of the world's most trafficked wild mammals. vietnam is home to 2 of its 8 species the chinese and assumed pangolin. both are critically endangered globally and their numbers are thought to have fallen by 80
8:51 am
percent or more in recent decades. wildlife trade monitoring network traffic estimates that between 201620 nearly 90 tons of the animals scales these globally were linked to vietnam. but there is still hope for this disappearing mammal. i am traveling south of annoyed to cook for a national park where local n.g.o.s working tirelessly to rescue and release penguins. try i'll be out. with a good time with our. time and his team have returned nearly a 1000 pangolin us to the wild since 2014 and are comparing. to release another 7 over the next few days. there are currently 20 at the center all rescued from trafficking networks between vietnam and other southeast asian countries many
8:52 am
of the animals that come here are week d.h. read it and have serious injuries. like this one penguin 1588 identified by the last few digits of his coat a number at the center of this 7 year old lost part of his front paw after being caught in a trap he's now ready to be released no. one want to. have a. good know how. about the. how i am not. what i know but one of the obvious. that there are more. than been what you know much.
8:53 am
about the to me. but. my. with numbers plummeting each pangolin baby offers new. yet their survival rate at the center is low with many born prematurely females that arrive pregnant but injured and stressed. since 2014 only 10 out of $23.00 made it. this female now 3 months old is a welcome addition. rather than a man. one i want to interfere in our number one i'm moving him out of bed don't you. some would not give. medical just a way to get i pad even mingle from him i've gotten i think no man him but i think i mean when i'm in town alone with him i've been meaning quitting lots of the want
8:54 am
but think i'm in that job i'm single. this is the only baby at the center right now growing more independent by the day she'll be able to breed herself within a year. pick up and to pick on the link i want though but i'm up now to help going and i thought of what they need open up but i'm too i'm going going and going to the mayo chimney hole had a guy that i don't manage and when you know what can you manage your building a mountain won't mean. penguins are mostly nocturnal and as night falls it's time to prepare their 1st meal. and i think you will go to the. caracappa to. some ground. what we call pavement. more work in. one of my. home can start looking like i've been cutting in line for. joining 1588 for
8:55 am
his dinner or rather breakfast. amputated penguins don't always recover well enough to be released so he is one of the lucky ones. not too many meals to go here before he has to find his own in the wilds. save vietnam's wildlife releases penguins in protected areas which are patrolled by forest ranger to. these need to be on constant alert to ensure the animals don't fall prey to the most dangerous animal poachers. but there is another threat the rangers will need to look out for pathogens. no evidence has been found that covert 19 originated from pangolin but some have been known to carry coronaviruses related to the one behind the disease. today the rangers are being trained to take
8:56 am
samples from animals they encounter in the wild to aid ongoing research efforts on the potential spillover of disease. the specimen for today's training is a dead stork. all on one walk. when. you're with a number of active military. but it is you who are there to but yeah. back at the center it's the big day final health checks have been done microchips attached and pangolin 1588 and 6 others are ready to be released. is another dot com one time because there. was no one saw.
8:57 am
on. the 14th if. we're going to get our 5 hour journey to a national park in central vietnam where the prime glens are going to be released under tight security tonight 'd 'd. and we've got more could come so provoked i think got going to back me up now with your garage and i think i'm not there because of the guard suit with the line that the for. the 1st pangolin be set free $88.00. more get out 11 of the in the good news boy behind book look at.
8:58 am
i've only been here for a few days but during that time i really seen how vulnerable base creatures are so this is a really special moment i just hope they don't end up as trafficking statistics. with so few pangolins left in the world everyone that survives in the wild really count. the covert 1000 pandemic has revealed only cheek lady how our health depends on the planets but it's also showing that nature can thrive given half a chance during lockdowns world over that was sightings of animals reclaiming open spaces as we retreated into our homes dolphins falling to the bosphorus listenable in turkey. humans proud to santiago chile. mountain goats roamed the streets the welsh town of landed now in the u.k. . as beaches emptied out threaten titles nested in are usually high numbers in the
8:59 am
u.s. highlands turkey and here in qatar. these glimpses of nature at least were relatively common shared uptown they serve to remind us we must renegotiate our relationship with the natural world the lies our fellow creatures on earth is a part and hands on it is coded mighty and has shown us they really do. one 3rd of all of the food produced is wasted if we stand after thousands of food outlets in south korea has been transformed from what still founder if the global leader in food recycling i have been reporting on how new technology is making this possible. in kenya i mean the farm must. depend on was a new place. just to. be
9:00 am
the hero the world needs right. i'm sorry is a than in their how they look at the headlines here now just here and now india has reported the world's highest daily tally of infections for a 3rd straight day with more than 346000 cases the country recorded almost 1000000 cases just in the last 3 days hospitals have critical shortages of beds medicine and oxygen and indian media are reporting 20 patients have died in the hospital in new delhi due to oxygen shortage.
