you can watch out for english streaming live channels plus thousands of our programs award winning documentaries. and to get new support described to you choose dot com forward slash al jazeera english ah. good watches paradigm. ah, it's taking countryside versions of the calculus variety of fed that creatures centrally. you don't have to be up to one that can be quite as spiritual to come in here and just to fit and be quiet in the south. pacific nation has one of the worst extinction records we have last about

a 3rd of every spaces. and the decline is still ongoing. if we let it roll for another 50 years, they won't be much left to restore racks and other interviews present to destination. the navy, the population. ah, now g zealand is leading the world with an extraordinary goal to bypass the countries worth pissed by 2050. ah, this is marvelous. this is a to get a, get a start to the 510 and a travel to new zealand to see the battle to save the country's unique bird life. ah, [000:00:00;00] i

now taranaki loomed lies over the majestic forms of new zealand, no violence beneath the volcanic pain, a team of conservation. indeed inter rosa cove scenic reserves. the hunting for a nation bird. that is a symbol of museum. the key, ah, there more than 2016 q beds in this reserve. hopefully, we can get our hands on. the bird will then be released into an area where can we population have been destroy? local ranger, chris dodd, is a master at searching for the small flight was bird in it scrubby healey. habitat how long does it take you to find some of a bed? it comes from 20 minutes to 3 hours allows nocturnal bird has a tracker on us, but it's still

a tricky endeavor to find her. every day, this barger of the forest floor moves to a variety of different tree hollows and holes. in came the radio transmitter picked up the shy key, which is about 400 meters away. so sir, how wouldn't? how would i know if i had one good long whistles? i had actually got one my phone which makes it awful easy. i didn't testify about and i called about 15 times. the female is more of a worse in response. quite

a pleasant sound. we go off track to find the key we really want. but there's a huge brain. an hour goes by the sunny setting and the efforts to move the bird from the tree after you saw we had a really, really good climate. on the inside of him. we'll come back tomorrow morning and, and hopefully found a new new spots in the morning. ah, i'm lucky. ah, for sure he'll to come. early next morning. we tried the key, we stick to hire rough terrain. okay,

clothing. i literally stumbled along. ah, no one said catching a key be would be easy. ah, to jeff and kind of invitation it to be for a long finally, after 2 days of searching success, we made our 1st key when i mean, ah, ah, ah, today to key we have been for both to a code read special release pro the

moon. these $232.00 partakes endangered birds with an eye kilometer permit offense that keeps pests out . ah, geographically isolated for 85000000 years. new zealand birds evolved as ground dwelling creatures in a predator free wo i we have and settlement time pick like wrap the prey upon the eggs and chicks. it's interesting to really important taffy's sightseeing new zealand because no mammals are native. a lot of their native bird species that have no no real defense is that kind of the newly introduced spaces i, she percent of museum birds bases are endangered or wrist including the k way, the vulnerable to pests,

who kill an estimated 26000000 birds. every year key we living in the wild, easy targets because they don't fly and have a strong odor easily detected by predators. very easy mail for a start. so k, we in the wild have just a 5 percent chance of i will form from hatching code to becoming not okay with the goal of rosa korea to raise key ways to an adult size. so they have a fighting chance when released into unprotected wilderness. so k with weighs about one half kilograms is seen as being, as i can look for itself against some of the main predators to people who arrived in new zealand. more than 700 years ago, half of the nation. 3rd, species have become extinct. to stop the 3rd, the decline, kiwi, and other spaces. a carefully managed intense reserve and conservation projects

across the country. it's almost like falling away. so you're moving from, from where we've got that are in really well into other areas, math hope in the future, they'll be able to continue doing well and breeding in the forests around mount taranaki. i sacred land for the countries indigenous communities. not only did she call it before leaving roto cody, and now the elder blesses the 2 key ways as they moved from one tribes land to another. with a rod in a new home egmont national park, where they welcome bye custodians of the last few. we have arrived safely, and so we're going to do a bit of

a show and tell me good birds. we'll join 14 of the key we released he in the last month. it's a vital step in saving wald, k. we, which we're almost walked out across this region 2 decades ago. moldy leader, jamie tusa, says the bird hold great significance to indigenous people. we are the mountain, the mountain is up. and so we have a response validity to ensure that the health and wellbeing of l environment is it the center of everything we do being able to return the key we back to this place is important. i want the forest to be a life. so i want to have a song again, i want my grandchildren, my great grandchildren, to experience boots song ah, across new school children, learn how to build louis to trap pests, the que wildlife. do you have any coffee with your quote? some are 30 shooting and i hate yup. on the

camera. my name i from the coast to the i bomb, to the farm. ah, trip. and now we're defining feature of new dining landscape. ah, more than 5000 registered community. good conduct, pest control across the country. ah, including the end of the because we check trapped in the ranges around new zealand . capital, wellington, today we're doing a standard run through the traps with $130.00 table and t with a conservation group. cold capital k, we on the road with one of the 4 wheel drive in through the battery in grafton and its going straight.

ah, friday i know supports us and so ah, in other words, the bite hasn't even been touched often because that a good or a bad thing with the diminishing population it has to be good. it's encouraging to see after 2 years, most trapped, the empty and his thumb, the dropping. but i mean tree by barry tool. barry, barbecue tongues, i normally it's well sausages with dave, how big is it going to be picking up? if you haven't tried falling at her and all rhetoric have jobs of attract the st. louis, but it's not a good choice over live me

space 100 maces with eggs or rather guts of the lu. trap in wilderness today and left behind? no, no. yeah. why is there any, like just just keep shows me how these killing machines work. that animal comes in with flu or on the fat. and you really for this. oh my goodness. that was i keep your fingers well a lot. yeah. i don't think i would survive on the journey soon. we strike gold trip number 5. holy, hey, what exactly? we'll start all right. school in love. so it's good to get this one. definitely start that size. that would be so my yankee rejects. how satisfying it to get a start in

a trap off. that's really, that's another step in the right direction. ah, 5 years ago it's easy to introduce a groundbreaking policy to why that whole raf halston to go by 2050 trapping and volunteer groups play a role in saving a variety of critically endangered births. more than $200000000.00 has been invested into these government programs that brings together businesses, school, universities, conservation, and farm. i think it is the 1st country that doing it on such a wide vices that have a, have a go up saving, you know, considering something that so special. it's a real big hero, dashes go. casey moon is elidah at prentice a free 2050 limited a chargeable company established by the government to carry out the mission. a

former president of a farm and association, she said, piss also harm farm because they can infect capital with tuberculosis. controlling the disease cost the taxpayer, $42000000.00 a year. so predator eradication is good for the economy, not just the grades k. he says they can achieve the goal by 2050 with reiser investment in scientific research. next, going to be the k, the helping drive out the last of the credit as there is nowhere else on the planet like this. and we now have the technology, the well in the know how to do it and protect those bases. and we'd be full not to have a guy me in i entered this is the animal resource research facility i don't will. behavior is

patrick gog studies practices so that the best pick can be developed to walk them out in the wild. this research facility helps him and other scientists observe arrange pissed at all hours of the day and night. like the stars roused from his slumber. the continuity being a little defence not because it doesn't like to get close to what makes the toxic killing machine and you do. and so there, voracious predators. it's only 350 grams per kilogram of $10.00 to $20.00 times. it's i say, half the eastern part of their body weight every day. i heard somebody jokingly tongue and cheek say before that it starts were 30 kilograms. there be no humans on the planet. i suppose. what make the greg killer is static and climb. it can swim, it can go under water. it can be after day are nice. ah, scientists at the university of canterbury and christ church helping patrick hughes

smell to strengthen. louis, they've built a st library from done to apple and identified odors that draw predators to attract one they can't resist affair. at stage. we discovered here that 1st order really increases attraction. we've sent house 1st older to 4 different trapping operation, and they increased their capture rates doubled or tripled in many cases. patrick, also psychologically evaluate stokes by testing them in nice op to studying how they feed, fight, and breed. patrick has discovered each stone has a distinct personality and behavior pattern. what we're doing at the moment of seeing how these pass respond to traps. when we tried to cook, the population were quite successful. we always kill more than half the animal. we'd be able to move from population,

but they're all was is some individuals left at the end. and now that's what we're focused on to which individuals won't interact with traps, warranty the bates. and how do we understanding these individuals? how does that make us better targeting them? apart from out, we seen smart piss new zealand. the big challenge is wiping out pretty remote wilderness area. the l. bradley's finding ways to eradicate tests in tough to rain, only accessible by helicopter, is the ceo of 0 in vice president. which i am to watch that pass area 100000 heck is inside. among the glaciers ramparts and rivers of the southern out. soon after landing at their research station, our shows me the lie of the land rover boundary that

we use the, the place. and this is the project here on this side, we call this the clean side, and this is the duty side. so the pos and the rock starts there on that side. yeah . acting as a natural thin rivers like this, play a big role in innovation project across the valley. yeah, so this is a joined experiment, really, if we can prove it here, then we can kind of do it anywhere else and take this team case by case we think if we can do it at the sco will be able to do it pretty much anywhere from the clean side zip often dropped boys and tell him to kill any living that arrow bite and get on the very tough terrain that we just can't move around them. i don't think any of us like using any thompson, but at the moment it's only way of getting to 0 in this really rugged country. out here it's costly and difficult for humans to monitor pest control. if it says it's built, these artificial cameras that it take piss, using

a thermal and lewis system, $200.00 of them, a being set up in wilderness areas where predators have been eradicated, to stop re invasion. and how does that helping tester modification? well, most of the time this camera sees birds sees things we are interested in that occasionally . if we get an occasion, these cameras will be the 1st and the warning system. basically because things like red breed so quickly. we need to know as soon after they arrive, so that we need to deal with a few rats, rather than hundreds of reds. using such technology ranges can monitor off shore islands and remote wilderness areas from a distance. it keeps an eye while the people on here, and it just means that we can do it a lot cheaper than having people do. lips chicken cameras that generally just got native wildlife on it. this is a camera that hardly needs any servicing. and the batteries in here will probably last us the best part of nearly

a year. so far around 10 percent of new zealand mainland has been subject to intensive president control. so such innovations could help ramp up the war on paris. so by moving to the technique will be out of work. big, big chunks of new zealand for grand plan is the government. and just place that we should better there printed a freedom by 2015. but that means in about 5 years time, we have to be doing a 1000000 hate days a year. there's 3 main challenges initially we've got to work out how to get to 0. so we call that the removal place. but once we're there, then we're going to be out of the tapes in cation recently quickly before the animal stopped breathing. and then we've got to do that removal phase again. we, we respond to incursion, little bit like with a, a specialty that's just tasked with removing those few occasions. to zip projects to succeed every section of the river, to act as a strong barrier to help identify weaknesses along the waterway. zip is trucking

mice on the dirty side of the river where they've set up automated law dispenses. so this device dispenses a little bit of my eyes that's going to die in it. that when the animals eat the die, they end up with the whiskey tissue marked so that we catch them later. we can identify them in the lab. we had to invent a way of mike in the animals that gave us a long period so that when the eventually cross and eventually we catch them as still the mocker in this system. so if a rate consumes a little bit of my an ice tonight with diet, 80 days later it will still be on the end of its whisker. ah, these threats make it into the clean areas. there are special traps which quickly get them to death. so the corpse intact, when they sent to the lab for analysis, ah, ah, lip scientist told you,

and jenny didn't investigate the history of every rap that he's trapped. that we trap in a box is almost like a crime scene for us. so we get the most amount of information out as possible to try and help us plan our next move can he's going to give it an autopsy. today we will be able to tell her, maybe it's come across the river. maybe it's evolved or original talks, operations of the so much information making came from just one that we're going to have after checking its approximate age, the team dissect it's liver to see the rat consumed any toxic pellets. female, right? she $200.00 grand female or a big issue for us. they do get into the claim side of our box because they had that breeding team chill that can cause a huge population explosion pretty quickly. so we can look at the breeding history of female tells us grow interesting information to find out if the rat crossed the river, they remove its whiskers and use ultraviolet microscope to identify if it has chemicals from the mayonnaise. in another, wild rep kept in captivity,

i used to test new traps and talks while the privilege of a loss about apprentices movement. and while the areas being questions lingered in the quest to kill all pests. i think one of the most important things that we don't know is how we might be able to suppress printed a breathing. so stop, read will stop starts being able to as a whole lot a whole miles and chemicals that control those processes. and so we may be able to tap into animals biology on that level to, to improve what we are currently doing in a southern out zip has proven it move predators from large remote cost landscape through such work. i'll bramley is company that you do and can lead the world in conservation and pest control is credited a free 2050 achievable. yeah, absolutely. the strong through might in the last couple of years. we absolutely think now we can do it. and now it's a matter of putting the right focus on to finish the job,

and then we'll move the funding comes in order to scarlet. so pretty as a free 2050 is the opportunity to restore the majority of our bought of a city. this is l opportunities to reset it and enable our wildlife to flush a few hours drive from zip research, thought the aka research lagoon is a, was a good one. the lat, pole. sheridan has worked on the lakes as a tour operator. the 15 years she did al bradley's initiatives a desperately needed to bring more bird life back to new zealand. i think it's the make her break. this is a program. it was crucial to go with something begun bowles like this. you can't just keep doing a little bit here in a little bit there because the species are just going to start to drop away and will never see them again. these wetlands are a vital feeding ground for thousands of waiting birds on the south island. it's one

of those laugh special places every day. i'm amazed every single trip i come out here underneath and i think it's just because it's such a untouched area. ready many birds theses here abominable because they can find to small pockets and new zealand if pass take over their habitat, it will be catastrophic. we're really fortunate to have a really intact ecosystem where these birds are still relatively abundant, but it's fragile. there is definitely a silent plague if you will, going on in the bush around the dramatic landscapes here. i redraw cards, the alpine adventures and nature love it. seeing unique creatures is a huge part of that experience. for those who dowdy new zealand fusion, the vision to remove all predators by 2050 can't fail. i think new zealand would be

a very different place without its iconic species and species that you can see anywhere else in the world. and if we start to lose, we start to lose our identities. me. through the shared passions i, elephant conservation colleagues have become friends. but with civil war defending famous now protect themselves. escaping deep into the rain forest back to the western world. for the elephant surviving the poacher is a lifelong challenge. now to last a revel militia elephant part a witness documentary on out to 0. the latest news as it breaks down the north of doing the best job they can. we've seen one water to teen at

wells far further. with detail covering the government seems to tell a bond is relying on human shields and losing people shot them home from around the world. the price to the toko games have officially felt $15000000000.00 that already the most expensive. some games ever stage. oh, i gaining ever more ground the taliban captures. i've got the stones 3rd largest city as they advance towards the capital. ah, hello. hello robin. you were watching on they were like, my headquarters here and oh, whole so coming up to being counted in zambia were present at gillan,
