2:34 am
. but even amidst the most vicious struggles through people fighting to protect the world, we live in and recover. what was last? i'm tanya rashid and bangladesh and the world's largest refugee camps, where people are working to coexist with the elephant for which this region is home . and i've had the baton lebanon where a group of sciences is rebuilding a seed bag that was displaced by the war in serial i. o. in august 2017. a brutal campaign of ethnic cleansing began in me in march. oh, the military and buddhist radicals claimed the lives of more than $6000.00 bro, hanging in a single month, fearing death houses more fled the country for the forest, the bangladesh. the scale of the exodus was enormous. to day they are still
2:35 am
unable to return home with a 1200000 ro hang, go refugees living inside of the sprawling cap. the band with this is now the biggest not meant of refugees in the world. many of them have access to clean water sanitation, or even electricity good. after the arrived, the survivors space to new threat while rampaging through a meeting and one of them who witnessed the initial episode 1st hand. it came from there with the elephant, came through the past, from the jungle, read that way, went directly to her and started beating her with. this was no one on elephant struck repeatedly throughout the camp. killing 13 people in the space of 5
2:36 am
months. can you tell me a little bit about what happened a, b, o y, o m a, a u, and what happened after that that i shot that i did that i will. a lot of you both on on friday that i use with hall another that the, that the huh. i said the whole of it. i don't think i'm going to deal with a lot of you. i got a little mark on how to do a voice with the attack, sparked an investigation into what was going on. grecki, i mean from the international union for conservation of nature,
2:37 am
believes the rapid expansion of the settlement had a profound impact on the natural environment. this is the edge of the camp through a cave, right? yeah, and this is where the forest began. yes. what's been going on? what's the cause behind all of these that is the, on the old camps. they used to be forest. they the seems to be an elephant, have habitat. the camp expanded at an astonishing rate of $1500.00 heck. tears of forests were cleared to accommodate the influx of hundreds of thousands of ro hinder refugees. but nobody realised the devastating impact this would have. the growing camp severed and vital lifeline for some among the vicious last remaining wild elephants. blocking a herd of 40 from their only path to essential grazing grounds and the east. just over there, there is a space we call elephant corridor. now the scenes, the camp is completely blocking that corridor elephant cannot pass through this
2:38 am
camp is in search of his shelter in search of his food in search of his migration pop. elephants was trying to come inside the cam. elephant came so many times and thus 13 innocent life was lost. an elephant is not necessarily a violent mammal. it's very intelligent, understands it has, is his emotions. and it's just that it's lost, his habitat is desperate. do this, analog migration is in the dna elephant as a genetic memories have been, know exactly where they have been growing. when they have been roaming generation after generation, they take the same pot, the elephants of bangladesh are critically endangered. there are just $268.00 left and they're increasingly under threats. $15000.00 hex hairs of land are already deforested in the country every year. and this cap only adds to the problem. to
2:39 am
help me understand what the elephants are up against. i've hired a local guy. so a man in front of me is shauna mia. his name means golden boy and he's our tracker for the day. i think we're in good hands with it's not long before we find clues that were on the right path. honda had said, hey, a hunted out that is a full not a bonded little mongolia said his edkey and you fell back. lavonne gave him it. the color the net out, woo thought i got a busy guy. but that idea the bicycle of anger as we find evidence of hungry elephants everywhere. way a key to think alice said the skies like the elephant whisper. ready shania tells me that by the end of the summer, much of the elephant's food here will be gone. then they face a nightmare scenario, attempt to migrate through the camp to me and mar,
2:40 am
in search of fresh vegetation or risk running out of food. and again, i split his face with the unami guess if they'd mambo. dicky very were following the actual footsteps of the elephants. elephants have walked along this path every season for thousands of years. i'm fairly, really excited. i wonder if we're actually going to encounter some elephants. we're being told that just a few steps away that they're there. then against the odd a moment i can't believe, ah, a majestic elephant. standing proud on the horizon. i can have her seen an elephant like my on my 1st time. ah, it looked so peaceful in its natural habitat. it's just really crazy to think that before the caps were put in place, that this is what it was. a large forest with animals roaming
2:41 am
about and now there is that human made crisis at play with sprawling refugee camps and is just a very sad situation. ah, but a select band of refugees is working to solve the problem with the support of the international union for conservation of nature. they have formed a group dedicated to safely shepherding the elephants from the cap. they call themselves the task force central to their strategy are $94.00 watch towers, which they built around the cap perimeter. mm. they are mad by a team of over 500 brave refugees ready to intervene and protect both the people and the elephants. i'm heading up for a birds eye view. oh, okay. so what's going on there?
2:42 am
the assimilating? what actually happens when an elephant commerce an easy, the yellow shows. yeah. and the at the veteran possibles members. so they are using the megaphone the how to respond. and they wanna foreman human sales and slowly move towards dallas. i'm sure that the elephant lumber stems deangela head down on the ground. it's clear how committed the task force are happening. initial training got on. mm hm. um, how do i get out of my the hockey? i see my younger i grew up with my loud and scary. i think that was certainly shoe and elephant off. mm. since the test 1st started, there has been no loss of life here despite 45 incursions by elephant, it's an effective temporary solution until a longer term plan is made for managing the animal's migration. ah,
2:43 am
the task force has motivated the community with over 500 people signing up to join . and it has the porters throughout the camp. what are you doing over here? what is this i did at the la tampa athletic at that it happened that he lay at ed's of a de la, the viet is of a d. i. d. been all these different patterns. different colors seems like it's a lot of work to do. why go to all this trouble to do it? it out of the home has 9 bye but i had to be sha marsha busy the bottom of my bed. only behind with the machine that they would have would add the death of my daughter for ready machine. did you learn the medicare? i mean, anybody do you feel that there is more danger living on the edge of the forest versus people who live in the interior of the cap? i'm lucky i left off of the equity. lucky back that i bought some good money. i
2:44 am
sort of philip isn't going as it at the did of had i did. i did madam api. somebody will laugh well and he has, it wouldn't be on his own with letty. i'd been the luggage and not only do people feel more secure, they are also more sensitive to the elephant situation. saving the animals is now even part of the school's curriculum. i mean, the objective is not to build on this momentum. rocky is already taking steps to find a permanent solution to the problem. beginning with an in depth scientific study of the elephants migratory happen. we are planning to put radio paula, on the elephant. this will leave us a valuable data valuable science to have a better management of the whole situation. once the exact migration route is, know, the goal is to clear a path for the elephants so that they can migrate unhindered. once again. of course,
2:45 am
we want to open that hold it all as soon as possible that are so few issues that we need to consider before doing this. it will take about a 100000 people and get people to move somewhere else. that would be an immense logistical challenge, but as human refugees continue to resettle around the world, bold moves are needed to reduce the impact on local animal populations. what i've seen here gives me hope the animals do not always need to be victims of conflict. and that a peaceful coexistence is possible. there were over 40 armed conflicts happening in the world's day. each of them will leave a dangerous environmental legacy. we can see that's protection, the environment is a norm as something which we do. there are standards in place. we at joint conflict, it's almost if anything goes wrong cause whatever damage you like,
2:46 am
and there's no accountability this new address. we see very severe found damage to many countries in many different ways. damaged infrastructure such as sewage works, a lot of scientists over extraction of resources. attacks on industrial sites, causing bust mass pollution. so you can have these impacts. there's going to expire on a last decades after the conflict times when iraq in 2016, 2017 islamic states at 3030. 0 wells. it's always been for 9 months covering under the square kilometers in full lapse of pollution. dealing with helped ammunition caused by these fires is going to take years. so for the last 10 or 15 years, we've seen increasing interests from governments around protect the environment and relations. conflicts is got to me, favorites cuts me fast external, the conflicts with merriment, van bomb spend damaged in many ways, and that has consequences. so unless we focus on the environment, you're a contract and it's storing up a lot of problems in the future. whole new
2:47 am
to live in a turbulent world where conflicts and climate change are threatening our environments . scary part is that the crops rely on for foot and has declined by 3 quarters since the 1900s. but there is an insurance policy, a global network of c banks. these are back up repositories of seeds which safeguard their biodiversity and can be turned to in times of crisis. ah, when war broke out in syria in 2011, one of these vital stores came under threat. on the outskirts of aleppo, the team of scientists charged with maintaining the seed bank were forced to abandon their work and flee the country. ah, but they never gave up hope. when some of them re settled just over the border and
2:48 am
lebanon's because valley they began rebuilding their collection. i'm traveling to the i cart a seed bank to meet one of these scientists. dr. alisha harvey. i ali good to see that to hear what happened to the seed bank in aleppo, syria. it became on possible to access to the gym bank. all 3 gather premises in october, 2015 because of the band to exist through the center by the armed group controlling the area they stole the vehicles, they stole the lot of equipments. nothing lift in the headquarter except the buildings and the dean by the war forced 5000000 refugees out of syria right now. it's not safe for a doctor to hide it to continue his work at home. how hard was it to leave that seed bank behind? i spent more than 27 years of my life working to the gym bank. so it's
2:49 am
a like is someone who left behind the babies or a long, long history. we dealt with them day by day. we knew everything about the behavior, all of those plants in the field, in the plastic houses, even in the gym, bangs, time effort made by everybody, both syria and lebanon. ly, in the fertile crescent, which is where farming began. it makes this part of the world an ideal place to work on safeguarding future food supplies. this is the center of origins or we can probably the center of domestication because it contains all the forms of old crops like molly wheat, lentil cheek, bes, all these crops originated from this area, ah, i want to get a closer look at the operation dr. mariani as big leads a team of 20 scientists,
2:50 am
including 3 who have relocated from syria. their task is to painstakingly rebuild the syrian seed collection. the seed vault here has a capacity to store 130000 sea varieties for over 100 years. the seeds are preserved by freezing them at temperatures of minus 20 degrees. all right, there we go. here with gold. see, you can see here, samples of the french crops that are being conserved, we're looking here at do to meet this is the heart, the hard. we that is used for pasta making, so we have a big collection of this affair past that safe years with that here again, a 30 types of all the cups are here. you have here, barley, a very important crops when you talk about dry areas. and you talk about the 3 main
2:51 am
crops, which are we to talk about rice and you talk about corn. so these are 3 main staple food that most of the humanities are using to support in place. this is a treasure. these are important samples that we have to make sure they are surviving that are monitored, they are available to the international community. there are $1750.00 strategically placed seed banks around the world. each gives a back up copy of their collection at the jewel in the crown of seed, banks, norway's fall barred global vaults of the doomsday vault. it is built into the side of an arctic mountain so that the seeds can be frozen without the need for power. and over 1000000 sea variety are stored here. so in the syrian seed bank was abandoned due to the war, dr. yes. mix team were able to recall their back ups, so that decision was made to reconstruct our collection. we retrieved it from small
2:52 am
bar, we brought parts of it here to lebanon, and you could build our collection here. we could make it available again for researchers. all the seeds that come here are tested in the lab for viability. some are then cross bred to increase their resilience and improve productivity. yeah, to make sure of 2 things 1st, that they are free of diseases. second, that they can actually germany. they can produce plaque they're alive and working alive. c and working see the each one of those samples should have at least 85 feed out of 100. that's proud and give healthy class. that's the threshold that's, that's fresh the seeds are thriving. but back in syria, the war has decimated the countries ability to grow food. one of the goals here in lebanon is to create a healthy seed collections to help ensure the future of agriculture and syria. when
2:53 am
the conflict ends up here from the roof, i can see that there are fields, there are green houses, there's even some cattle. and it's not just about saving the seeds, but also testing them, trying to find out the best variations that can withstand climate change and secure our food supplies in the future. in this region has been struggling with worsening drought for decades. the dry soil in lebanon is similar to serious by testing seeds in the harsh conditions. here. dr. hardy and his team can be confident that the crops will be resilient enough to survive the arid syrian farmland. what are these plants right here? this plant is wise we, this is opposed to domesticated wheat. they are very unique and very valuable for our genetic useless because they have adapted already to the harsh environment and has very, very useful genes to overcome climate change effect diseases, drought,
2:54 am
frost. he with climate conditions changing. the biodiversity found here is vital not only for local, but also global food security. already one of the wheat strains, bread here, has proven resistant to a disease known as yellow rust and has been sent to the u. s. work crops were failing to fight it but with global warming, seed banks themselves can be vulnerable. what's worrying is that melting permafrost is even threatening this vol bar doomsday. vault. research shows that the arctic town in which it's based is warming faster than any other. which makes the work being done in lebanon, even more critical. 25 syrians in the same number of locals. 10 the farm land here. so it looks like they're doing some really important work over here. can i
2:55 am
give them a hand? yes, of course. they are doing hand reading ah, seems that modern science has in quite figured out an alternative to getting down your hands and knees and just getting your hands dirty. so we're just looking for the weeds. ah, we don't want to weeks interfere with his experiments. i want to make sure that his crops grow right and we have to be careful not to hurt the crops of the weeds kind of grow in between here. he really got of it. have a good i o l. o ma'am? nick, need it. i was gone, i should but a sudden loss, elena, but then vanished and had assumed less than one im can let. is she a mr. friedman, nova america, my son, i was headed by the doctor, ali has invited me for lunch, meals are of course, the final product of the crops grown here. it's a chance for him to tell me more about the life in syria. he was forced to leave behind. this is after the nice memory everybody had the wrong for
2:56 am
leaving because we had the field infested by oral wonky. the unit had decided to go all together, the breeders of the international stuff, the scientists that technicians assistant, the labors, even the t lay the contribute to that field day, happy days. it was a happy days, one of the most beautiful days. and you're sure you'll go back. yes, i am very confident that i go back because i should go back. nothing like home. ah, it would have been easy to write up the car to see bank as just our casualty of the searing conflict. but the hard work and dedication of ali and his team have ensured that their work transcends to the conflict and is able to continue to play a vital role in protecting global food supplies. ah,
2:57 am
oh, environmental fool, out of who can lincoln for decades. but what is being done to heal the damage? the charity haine of trust to create nearly a coach of a 1000000 minds from cambodia. helping to make over 6000 taxes of land safe to farming income rings. almost $50000.00 trees 15 we planted on degraded lands around men of wow camp which shelters refugees escaping bobbins in nigeria. and after 50 years, the conflict ago was able to protect colombia to the beek. it's a rain forest, a former gorilla stronghold, declaring this rich spite of us area to be a world heritage site. in the midst of all the consequential damage to the environments can easily be overlooked. but if we don't act to protect our natural woes, though, be nothing left to fight for a
2:58 am
$150000000.00 traits disappear every year into the clothing that we all wear from up cycling to save the forest. the famous yellow dress fade from blue jeans law to conserving the wealth, dwindling wetlands, 3 of the 8th worlds, global bird migration white intersect right? where we are basically discovered a treasure chart is one of the most special lead labs on the plan. and i for ice ecosystems, the light on al jazeera. mm hm. and
2:59 am
the latest news as it breaks freedom of breaths and the creams i'm talking to each other, trying to iron out their differences because together they form a large block in parliament with detailed coverage. we had as the world's largest producer of low to sleep, but children being used to meet the rising demand from around the world. the island has increased in land map is as if riviera with this corruption is pulling the island of paloma out of the ocean. incarcerated for over half his life convicted by a non unanimous jury for a crime in which no one was hurt or blackmail making eye contact when the white parson could cause him to lose his wife. and in this particular situation, it caused no news is free. why did the lord deemed unconstitutional by the supreme court still keep people behind bars in the state of louisiana, being incarcerated is just another form of slavery. the gym co convictions on al jazeera ah
