and some of the facets. did you guys just robert? now, who is one of the few villages who's 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 gamekeeper has now become a poacher. he smuggles rosewood. i read the whole truth, les all left and she can give you, you can easily meet the love from love, gentle life. some be providing you among 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 signed all rosewood logging ahead lie the 9 day journey where robert and the other smugglers will seek out, fell and carry

a rosewood tree while evading police and navigating madagascar unpredictable rivers in foreign lands. and i saw him at the local reaction the not only the least they have to avoid. marauding thieves have also been attracted to the area that i'm also going to find that there

would be what i'd like. you can tell them in carrying pack swing as much as 50 kilos and barefoot. the group also has to negotiate a demanding jungle after harrowing to describe the group and other traffic of robert is worried that he may be carrying the last the root of trees from the area of the work i'm. i love them will not be there with you

when the guys go for the fun to easy. some. when the la santana, you mentioned the latter, are you using it from using your cell 6 days deep into the forest. robert and his men have found their treasure. yes. if they can get this rosewood tree to market, they would make enough for the next 6 months. a tree. this size consent around $10000.00. less than human. and angular mullins on the roof would trees grow extremely slowly. they take at least 100 years to fully develop

and into point con, waiting. now you can put on a foreign thing when you, when you book a man, i'm not going to refer you to what i need inside of this little but after a back breaking out, chopping down the giant, there's a problem. you need to cool. and then the wind binding, the only 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 that's the machine will pull, who runs in cocoa stuff, i mean yog cleaning model, they can see the find, the room the task is enormous, and robert changes tactics forgive genetic, upon relaxing, come with him in my shopping, the tree at that height is proving increasingly difficult that men will have to sweat to them. money. ok. me from i'm from yasser me. the hours the men partially act around the heat is overbearing.

what to do for mocking them again and i know time thing and her cool rested. i don't know that i was going with mr. will get the law if you want you to under. i mean of a few short and i do you. i'm going to all yeah, he'll allude tomorrow and i like yours timley after 4 hours. the 1st part of the trunk gives way but the branches are still trapping the top of the tree. well. 7 they tried to put it down by food with me,

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 any hope of bringing this tree down is disappearing. so is the money it would fetch, they have to start searching again. but the rosewood 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 for just prices, raphael and coal, one particular resource, has lewis 1000 to this mining town of in so sapphires. these towns sprang up in just a few months. attracted by the promise of easy money,

more than 10000 people live crammed together in extreme poverty. most of the stones they to gob with just a few dollars. however, a large, very pure sapphire can fetch as much as 5 or $6000.00 more than $100.00 times madagascar minimum wage. thousands take away all with the same. the lucky ones might find the backhoe and messy used to be farmers. the 2 brothers left their job in hopes of striking at ridge and building and such a future for themselves. but their entire fortune for now is this small cabin just 5 square meters shed by the 2 families with their wives and children, 7 people altogether. when i found i was a hi miss dooley to me, she landed land like think i called the number that the shelf tonight,

the lumber shop, with champ and got they, let's jump to them to bear not to michigan. they move on to me because i remember to move on and doesn't convey man to down on the how to set up a low the brother's work for a minor who owns his own mind? there pay less than $2.00 a day. if they do find a stone, they get a percentage of the sale. learn. monona, i'm will be also maneuver wouldn't, wouldn't want to eva them room for harling among mazda and the mom, not as young, only let lot of money. but

finding sapphire is not easy. backhoe massey and others work in tunnel barely 50 centimeters high, 30 meters below the ground level 100 is that a good system? test on my house. my mom and i just got a bore motor guy, but i'm in my both auto and then i'm i don't mind and i left

yeah. and i was on a buoy. how's the milan on the, on the how to turn on to the number, the bomb alarming if someone out of, oh, big the conditions down here or a thing. it's a constant 40 degrees celsius making this whole like an oven moon . well, because it's also dangerous. many have lost their lives in search of the precious stone

cost, and that was a model model model. so my dental vision, she gave me this property of it. now mom is the exact same number, so you don't want to 30 meters below ground oxygen gas. none of the mine owners can afford proper ventilation systems. fresh as provided by the men's engineering. it's basic, but it works most of the time. and importantly, it costs very little. the

me. ah, a life fruit with danger and all for less than $2.00 a day. the 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 be to head home. but they determined not to return empty handed. a few months earlier, the army had chased them from the forest and they have to abandon a rosewood tree trunk. they are now looking for that tree because you know that you will because i live with

a while there who is smaller than they had hoped. this one trunk will get them enough money to get them by for a few months such as it is. and we're getting rid of a lot of the ending of work as many of them are modifications to be involved in that in the trunk weighs about a 100 kilo transporting would, principally when it depends on the length of the roof when the cause of a good thing a thought and it will matters any comfort comedy to the thing was causing my autumn, losing my new just stuff along with them they need to

the modification of bidding him the fishing into many killers. she put them on p as in it's taken 5 hours to travel down or above the the others will now take the wood. as far as you know, once the trunk is in the canoe, it just needs to be had in any chance i actually turned in and mentioned that i just left,

the muddling is endangering the force of madagascar and the authorities like the means to stop the trade but for these men, the search for the rosewood is the best way to earn anything. the venezuela, columbia borgia has become a stomping grounds for trespasses. as desperate people transgress an illegal passage to feed an emerging fuel trafficking market. we follow that perilous journey unguarded through the line of fire. risking at all send israel and columbia on al jazeera. ah, ah, ah,
