glad that there is some sense of normalcy coming back to town, especially during the christmas season. it's the tourism that's going to revive the economy. and you can get much more and all the stories we've been following. if you had with round 0 dot com ah, take you through some of those stories now. then evacuations have been suspended around indonesia. now the semo because of clouds of hot ash raining from the rock, the thing volcano, so far, 13 people have been killed and dozens injured. experts say it's unclear how warning is of the russian could have been. miss merrill mountain is located in one of the most eventually we'll get our yeah. it's been it's always a closely monitored by our work on ology. and they know that every time we have

a big rainy season, some sort of what they sometimes they call secondary interruption heflin. so they should have been able to get the warning or people. ringback that from the interview, giving too many or as to why where they seem to be caught by sure. right. so this is still a question that has to be answered. 3 people are reported to have been killed and me, and mas largest city also security forces, ram the vehicle into a group of protesters. thousands more were injured during the demonstration in the and gone the so called flash mob riley was targeted just minutes after it began. there have been anti government rallies across me in the military coup. in february, indian official say 13 civilians have mistakenly been killed during a military operation. it happened in the northeast in state of maga, land. the armies reported to have shot at the trunk, carrying thousands of people troops late of 5 the crowd of protest. this one indian

soldier was also killed, vote counting zondaway in the gambia, after saturday's presidential election, been a high turn out in the policy and as a test of stability and democratic progress talks between us president joe biden and russian president vladimir putin have been confirmed for tuesday will take part in the video call as thousands of russian troops gathering the ukraine's for the pope francis is visiting the greek island of less balls on the 2nd leg of his eastern mediterranean for the pontiff, toward the refugee camp. where more than 2000 people live in temporary housing. although the headlines, the news continues here are now to sierra, after thrice stay with us in a year. capital will host the middle east. well,

in preparation the country is a major 16 nations going head to head in 6 paths built stadiums for 2020. okay. we'll keep you across the action as capital for the regions. biggest event, the fee for our cuts on his era. ah . the relationship between humans and animals have always been one with elements of conflict. but as the number of people on the planets continues to grow and it's becoming increasingly strange and unbalanced. with a wealth human population approaching an extraordinary 8000000000,

sprawling settlements and activities are encroaching on animal habitats. more than ever. scientists estimate humans a driving species extinction at around $1000.00 times the natural rate largely due to habitat law and climate change. we urgently need to find better ways to live together on a shad planets. i'm juliette piece and i'm here in griffin australia to say how a team of scientists and volunteers a helping quality to survive the urban jungle. and i'm russell beard and bung with . as for the locals, the learning to coexist with tiger neighbor, blue land was one time to over 1000000 qualities with a relentless pace of human expansion. the numbers have dropped by almost 80 percent since 1990. while the human population is still growing and a 1000 people away, and that number is only set to grow, putting for the precious on surrounding land line without immediate intervention

while as with facing extinction. but a group of local residents and experts are trying to reverse this trend. the land that hugs australia's east coast is one of the most desirable places for human settlement. but it's also a prime koala habitat. as a result, increasing numbers of these must few fields are being forced to live within the city. john hanger is a wildlife fit and founding member of the qual, a research network. you brought me to this an area that i would have thought could possibly have wallace been so busy. why? why this area? this part really illustrates, i guess, in a really good, why of hell? the threats of urban kuala sufficing, they get killed on the roads because often they cross and knowing when the difficult to see and drive is just don't see them. so they'll often get killed on this road. in fact, the throat is saw really

a hotspot federal on the desk in the area. certainly when they're good on the royal lawns, with a busy raw along with trains running every couple minutes are exposed to significant injury and death obviously. and so there's really a whole rhinoceros learned supposed to in this, in local experts like john a committed to protecting the koala before it's too late. but with a population scattered throughout the city, the 1st step to saving them is monitoring them. john and his team have been intensely studying a population in the modern bay region and brisbin. today, they're tracking by radio signal, a pre tag, koala, named sonny with

the guys are heading up the tree now, but a be quiet to catch her capture koala. like and then check it out, the health check later on. news with ha ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. ah, okay. first the quad, just like this, just what on top of your head? with when i'm cornwell studies are really north of love,

so that's pretty calm. now sunny will head off to the vet where he will be screened for diseases coil as a currently listed as under threat. if nothing is done, they could be extinct in less than 50 years. the seriousness of the situation isn't lost on some local residents who are trying to tackle habitat erosion. ah, ah, my vendor, i nice to me really to, what are you guys doing here today? i was just making sure this little as dyke had a marker in, so we know into water lip haunting kowana. food trees here being a eucalyptus. yes. there are 200 spaces, of course of a few clicks in queens and the quality is only 22. so we have to be very specific about what we planned and why. how important is this work for the quality model? incredibly important because this area will never be clear for any sort of

development. so we're surrounded, even though you can't see it with high density urban development. so if we can increase the carrying capacity of the site for a while, as it will encourage them to move it to here, which is much lighter for them than out they just one koala can eat upwards of 5 high. it leaves today, moving from tree to tree, said i browse basically all die because you clips a fairly nutrient pool energy wise. right? all right, so how many more trees are we like to do half year thing up 3 or 4 over the planting trees, provides one solution for protecting the koala. but as urban as asian continues, roads and railway lines will inevitably expand. putting these animals in harm's way . currently up to 300 coils killed by vehicles, he h u. what are meeting up with that? john? again, he wants me to see an intervention which is making a difference at around

a line. mm. essentially, a water drainage, calvin, but there are few additions. there's a post and rile to help the wildlife get off the ground. how do i know to use is called it? well, i guess initially they don't know juliet by the familiar with the habitat as it was . and when we put these impacts in, in china, the landscape, they have to learn to use that. but the essential features really are that we, we put a koala prevents along the raw corridor and that ensures that they don't go on to the ro corridor and get killed. and if they do work their way along the fence, ultimately dalinda finding one or more of these culverts. and so with a bit of exploration now, lum elephant go through to get an idea of how effective they are, john and the team, and put up motion sensitive cameras on this. lucia range of wildlife using the comb, including the cameras there. so he is a to all a going into a group of talbot who explore to talbot,

but didn't go through it. and then we've got a group of kangaroos using it, a possum, another colorado different tolben. and then coming out the other side is one of echo hollows ah helping call. while as navigate the urban jungle is essential to boosting their numbers. but the most significant factor in ensuring their survival is disease prevention. here from, i'm back in the clinic with sunny the captain comalla is ready for his checkout sunny x. las vet amy robbins is about to give sunny a sedative. this is just to settle him so he can get his injection here. while i'm in co office security thinking something about to happen, but he don't know yet. what good boy, what a brave little boy. i am checking yet and the color gum and

making sure he's got good. i'm refill time, which is a sense of how good blood pressure is. and i have a look at the bladder. this obviously a big important thing for chlamydia, so it causes this start us. so that causes inflammation of the blood war. why guess chlamydia has reached epidemic proportions amongst coil is in australia, agreement with over half the population infected. if left untreated, it can cause infertility, blindness, and dead like that. average kenway, his blood is looking pretty healthy. they're sunny is in the clear. tell me that the significance of you know, any testing for chlamydia and, and the most may project disease has been charged. that if you can control that one factor that you can actually turn around to calling populations. and so by going in there and during the treatment and the vaccination against committee,

out of actually gonna turn that population around in on directory growth. now phenomena was never had a big significant project in 2 hours before. so it's very valuable scientifically. and i would kind of roll in my mind. he's waking ela yet he's making on we really before letting the koala recuperate, amy fits another, tried to call up with it's now time for sunny to be released at john study side. they've had some amazing with the fact i guess that we can find my, the individual healthy for the populations on a great trajectory. now that was on quite a downward decline. lourdes extinction. and so now we're,

we're getting around 20 percent right there on, on, which is just rounding, turn around. so maybe gratifying that why a as a global population continues to grow cities a sprawling farther more land is needed to grow food. more infrastructure is being built through fragile ecosystems. take roads, rampage, road building over the last century has divided the earth into 600000 fragments.

over half of these are less than one square kilometer to small to support significant wildlife populations. with 25000000 kilometers of new road expected by 2015, the struggle for animals to survive in the face of development will only get harder calling these kinds of conservation conflicts. as far from some of the solutions that work best around the world or the one where local people have the ownership of the process of finding the solution, people need to be able to value the species that they are close to. and by value, i mean, perhaps culturally or spiritually, they want to have a species around. it requires inputs from all sorts of different areas of expertise . it's not a matter of just for biologist. we need social scientists, economists, people who will know how to work with poor communities. they all have to work together to figure out how to solve these conflicts.

ah, just a century ago, there were thought to be over a $100000.00 tigers prowling ages swamps and jungles. but now numbers if declined by a staggering 98 percent. i'm heading to the sun, the been mangold forest in western bangladesh. is one of the last remaining havens for the bengal tiger. there's often conflict with local villages while so depend on the forest for survival of come to me, a network of volunteers and conservationists were coming together to try to stop the violence and save the tiger in the process. all right, bangladesh is population has doubled from 80 to a 160000000 in just 40 years, forcing humans into what was once exclusively to tigers, to rain bow. if the may then, i mean, you can be there, they thought of, i don't, there over the war you had to the board right up against these. i did

here in long law just on the edge of the national park. there really do seem to be people everywhere. he taught english and that this is, this is home to tigers, to but it is, can us with the conflict comes with conservationist? my boob alarm runs tiger t. a network of volunteers dedicated to changing attitudes and reducing human tiger violence. how many targets do you have here in his underwent? we have one on the thief with the historical data about 2 to 3 tigers, killing by the local villagers every year. but the total population's estimate it just around a $102.00 to $3.00, starts to sound like of a big number,

but $30.00 to $50.00 human kill every year. and her while are on the, is a 15 year on for just a little number, 13 off the a year. this is not a little number. i mean like one a week. can you talk to us about that into face? like, how are they coming into contact with people here and what's the result in sammy diaz. ah, it's dawn. i have that my child, caesar, geographical barrier in between forest and village is in that part of from the other one. ah. yeah. tiger that comes out on the foods, into the building. ah, schumann, tiger interaction here is fraud with violence and see it. ah,

i'm on my way to a village, right on the frontier of a conflict. so that edge the, you can see there, that's actually the syllabus forest right there. and there's nothing between the target habitat and the human habitat. he can understand how skate it must be, because everywhere you look i need, they build these fences, but they're just native. those dickson bay light doors here many of not just seen tigers from afar. they've had direct encounters with the local fishermen as a story to tell. can you talk to us a bit about your experience here with the tigers? was hungry must thing. i do. thank you for the for that wasn't fully limited. i was on the with the see. oh wow. oh my goodness,

i can see that little puncture marks with what was you thinking when you were on the ground? did you think? do you think you were going to die at a point of it? a shot that quote together, so keep on. yes god, lucy walter bought with so behind escaped with his life. but those who don't leave behind families to fend for themselves. i've been told around a 1000 women known as tiger widows in this region. i'm here to meet a lady called rita, who lost her husband through a tiger attack 20 years ago. we know that this under ben forrest, this is maybe just 100 yards away. and did you think of leaving us as elegant as i get it going up on that i that that, that, that, that, that is i will call that i love that are now sitting in a my little, i don't know

a lads i name a monday was a i'm a day i laid on monday it would have like many people here. greta praised to bon b. b. before entering the forest to collect wood or honey. she's agreed to take me to meet it. ah so long that it is over said loosened country, losing an indecent been is fantastic lit in any good particular god is here to protect the people against attacks from the tiger. ah, but it seems to me that bobby's help might not be enough. the fact is that the tiger's habitat is shrinking while the humans is expanding,

picking one against the other with disastrous results. ah, as the predator, the top of the food chain, the tigers roll in the sun, the bands ecosystem is pivotal. if it becomes extinct. the whole system will collapse to prevent unnecessary killings. my boob and his team of pioneered an education program for local villages is aim is to change attitudes towards targets . i'm here in a community center, enjoying money where the tiger scouts are having a lesson in what to do when a tiger into storage. oh oh. i can, can i see how many people here have seen a tiger? my little. oh really. wow. and so why can you tell me, why is it important to come here and learn about saving the tires?

they will have, am i this is it was, you know, as a back to serve, you won't even use the one a brand new thing beginning. does it have a system what i wanted? oh, is blaming anybody. no, he wasn't the one about no more than a bargain media that age. my mother back. in fact i guys come on in. so what this is, the idea is that this is a pledge to say the tiger, i guess. so we're not finding our name in blood but in some kind run high by pink eye. 5 feet high, fired around, well done, guys did, did working outside the center, the community tiger response team of assembled toner, t, convince a bunch of people. there is a good idea to start chasing while target number one motivating factor for them to saving the tigers. because if they can save tiger from the world be saved and

they're likely, would we be actually, does a lot of this is a valid figure that running out of his with might the pledge with a z and not can have someone lined up with this may look a little unorthodox, but tigers are naturally solitary hunters. only a turkey isolate to prey being surrounded by a group of chaotic orange colors, making strange noises. be enough to scare them away. and as long as there's an escape route, tiger will use it as amazing. and do you say there was 40 tigers that had been managed? he said, yeah. so is that basically 40 targets that you've ushered back into the into the

more asked. and so if it wasn't, if it wasn't for you guys and doing what you are doing here and changing the kind of attitude you think is fair to say that those 40 tigers might be kill, might be killed. let both might be killed by the would have been a job. right. hi. so it looks like getting ready to move out. and i think the guys are going to go into a probably more of a training i am. it doesn't hurt to take his take is the case or a . 1 present a looking in like with aberration with

so if 10 years ago, a tiger came in here and he met you lot. would you have killed him? are 10? yes. i'm a local actor, a gun bush and go to a cute girl. and i did today from the doctor, my stuff that manuscript monitor monitor, hello, what's up, john? my, she didn't, i think i got it back down with them. but here, can you tell us about the 1st time that you did you taste of the target with the teen? the local, a ticket from the what if they did that? one is how come with the blister 1st? i get the wild image, hold you to do it over the long run grandmother they needed the camera, a dumb rock bottom of mom, a bit of a bucket which literally just literally ends at the same for all you, do you feel the same with somebody? get you on the way. yeah. you know, just saying that because the cameras and thanks for taking

me, i'll give you your stick back. i feel very safer and you guys know, thanks so much. thank you. thank ok. listen, i feel it safer with these guys around, even though we know there's while target is right there. barrel positive about what they're doing. and you know, maybe if a in the future communities or other countries can follow their example, maybe there's hope for the target. mm. thank you. thank you guys. it is to ah, even with a growing human population and shrinking wilderness, the are ways that people and wildlife can co exist in india, mobile phone technology is being used to warn workers of elephants passing through t plantations. when that spotted and s m. s a lot is sent to everyone in the area

preventing surprise encounters and in contest on locals. he used to post snow leopards, now protect them in return for a lucrative business and snow leopard friendly products. further encroachment is inevitable, but if communities can learn to live alongside the animal neighbors than it is possible to minimize the impact. ringback on this week, thrice a new method of cremation is helping him to tradition become more environmentally friendly. and we visit a danish community into a taken sustainability to new heights just over there on the horizon is some so island, they are officially 100 percent renewable. we can so this is it, that's the energy right. we use of change on al jazeera
