plus thousands of all programs award winning documentaries. an in depth news reports subscribe to you to dot com forward slash al jazeera english ah . the relationship between humans and animals have always been one with elements of conflicts. but as the number of people on the planet continues to grow, it's becoming increasingly strange and unbalanced. we're the world's human population, approaching an extraordinary 8000000000 sprawling settlement. some activities are encroaching on animal habitats. more than ever. scientists estimate humans

a driving species extinction around $1000.00 times the natural rate, largely due to habitat loss 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 oven jungle. and i'm russell beard and bangladesh for the locals are learning to coexist with their 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. 1 of 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 distinction, 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 marsupials are being forced to live within the city. john, hannah 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 couldn't possibly have qual as been so busy. why? why this area? this part really illustrates, i guess, in a really good. why it hell? the threats that have been koala sufficing, like get killed on the roads, because often they cross and knowing when the difficult to see and draw those just don't see them. so they'll often get killed on this road. in fact, the throat is saw really a hotspot for to on the desk in the area. certainly when they get on the rail lawns with a v 01, when you go trains running every couple minutes, are exposed to severe injury and death obviously. and so this really whole rogers

roots learned supposed to, in this sort of, in the 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 starting a population in the modern bay region of prison. today they're tracking by radio signal, a pre tag, koala, named sonny with the guys are heading up the tree. now be quiet to catch her capture koala. like in . then check it out, the health check. later on. i

got a letter with ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, just like this, just a lot, but on top of your head, with when i'm corwell, studies are north of love, so it's pretty calm. now. sunny will head off to the vet where he will be screened for diseases. co l 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 version. ah, ah, i wonder, i have a nice to 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 live haunting quality trees here. being a eucalyptus? yes. there are 200 spaces of co of, of euclid's in queens. then 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. so now they just one co like an 8 upwards of $500.00 leaves per day moving from tree to tree. so they browse basically all because you call it a fairly nutrient pool and a t wise. right? all right, so how many more trees if you'd like to do half your thing of 3 or 4? either the planting trees provides one solution for protecting the corolla. 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, but amazing up with that, john again, he wants me to say an intervention which is making a difference at a railway line. so 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 they know to use is

called it all, i guess initially they don't know juliet by the familiar with the habitat as it was . and when we put these impacts in and change the landscape, they have to learn to use that. but the essential features really are that we, we put a koala prevents along the ra 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 funding one or more of these culverts. and so with a bit of exploration thou lung elephant go through to get an idea of how effective they are, john and the team, and put up notions sensitive cameras in this lucia range of wildlife using the coast, including the cameras there. so he is a tall and going into a group of talbot who explored talbot, but didn't go through it. and then we've got a group of kangaroos using a possum,

another colorado different tolben. and then coming out the other side is one of the echo hollows helping one is navigate the urban jungle is essential to boosting the numbers. but the a significant factor in ensuring that survival is disease prevention. yes i'm, i'm back in the clinic with sunny the captured comalla is ready for his checkout sunny. excellent. that amy robins is about to give sunny a sedative. this is just a settle in so he can get his injects it. well, i mean, co office security thinking something about to happen, but you don't know yet. mm hm. what good boy, what a brave little boy. i am checking yet and the color gum and making sure he's got good 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 lumina, with over half the population infected. if left untreated, it can cause infertility blindness, and dead, an average. generally, his blood is looking pretty healthy there. sonny 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 charlotte. if you can control that one factor, then 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 dreams right now. not phenomenal would never had to cut a big significant project in 2 hours before. so 3 valuable scientifically. and i

would kind of ruined my mom and he's waking ela yet. he's making really before letting the koala recuperate, amy fits another, tried to collar. ah ah, it's now time for sonny to be released at john study side. they've had some amazing results in the fact, i guess the weekend i thought you might be individuals healthy for the populations on a great trajectory. now that was on quite a downward decline towards extinction. and so now we're, we're getting around 20 percent right to run on, which is just the spelling turn around. so make sure you got to find

that y a y a as a global population continues to grow cities a sprawling farther moreland is needed to grow food. more infrastructure is being built 3 fragile ecosystems. take roads, ramparts 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 resolving these kinds of conservation conflicts as far from simple the solutions that work best around the world or the on where local people has 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 just for biologists. we need social scientists, economists, people who will know how to work with 4 communities. they all have to work together to figure out how to solve these conflicts. ah, just a century ago, there was 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 val, it's amazing. i mean, you can be there. the sound of eyes there over the war. you had to look for it right up against the budget

here in long law, just on the edge of the national park. there really do seem to be people every were taught english and that this area is home to tigers, to but it is, can us with the conflict comes ah, 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? as under once, we have one on the thief with the historical data about $2.00 to $3.00 taggard's 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 kil, every year. and i well aaron is a 15 year and 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 their interface? like how are they coming into contact with people here and what's the result? insomnia diaz. ah, it's dawn. i have that much of a graphical barrier, right? in between forest and villages in that part of from the other one. ah, yeah, tiger that comes out or the folds into the building with human tiger interaction here is fraught with violence and see ah, i'm on my way to a village right on the frontier of a conflict on that edge that you can see there. that fact cancelled about forest

right there and there's nothing between the how you have a tech i'm a human habitat. he can understand how scary it must be because everywhere you look is lifestyle. and they, they build these fancies, but it just made a little sticks, a white gauze here many had not just seen tigers from afar. if i direct encounters with local fishermen as a story to tell can you talk to us a bit about your experience here with the tigers? with, if you look, i do think we should be from listen fully. like i said the one with with oh wow. oh my goodness, you can see the little puncture marks with what are you thinking when you were on the ground? did you think? did you think you were going to die at that point of it?

a shot to quote the quote together. so keep on. yes, god rushing multiple with so behind escaped with his life. but those who don't leave behind families to fence 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 is from the been forest. this is maybe just 100 yards away. and did you think of leaving us as a luck? and as i keep going up on that, i love that that, that, that is, i will call that i love a lads name a monday was a on that day. i have 8 am on monday. whatever.

like many people here greeted praise to bon b b before entering the forest to collect wood or honey. she's agreed to take me to meet it. ah, so from the dishes, others in loosen countries losing an indecent been pantheistic lit in any good particular god is here to protect people against attacks from the tiger. 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. as the predator at the top of the food chain, the tigers role in the sundance 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. his 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. ha ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. can, can i see how many people here have seen a tiger? marketo. oh really? oh. and so why can you tell me, why is it important to come here and learn about saving the tires? mm hm. yeah my, this is, it was, you know, as a back to serve, you won't even use the one that brand new thing with any kids in the system. what,

what their, oh is. let me know. he wasn't so when about an hour that a back when media, when that age wasn't on the back in back with our guys come on it. 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 book in some kind rather than high 5 pink eye, 5 feet high, fired. well done, guys doing good work outside the center, the community tiger response team of assembled toner, t. convince a bunch of people. there is a good idea to start taking a 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 unsure, is that a lot of this is a lot because i'm running

a lot better. this isn't the do. might the pledge here, let me see and not have some elaine. great, let's go with . this may look a little unorthodox, but tigers are naturally sola, tree hunters. only a turkey isolated 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 did you say there was 40 tigers that had been managed? he said, yeah, so as that basically 40 targets that you've ushered back into the, into the forest. and so if it wasn't, if it wasn't for you guys and doing what you're doing here and changing the kind of attitude, you think it's fair to say that those 40 tigers might be killed,

might be killed, that might be killed by the water bill. yes, i 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 presence, okay. that, that is 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 telling us

about actually get on the last day again, but yeah, go to a cute girl and i did the data from a project from us to manage to 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 a target with the t local? i took it from there. would have to do that. one is how come with the ballistics of target to while de ms. hodge, either do it up. but grandmother they needed that come up because i will of them wanna go to deborah bonham, mama, busy buckets. it was lady little lucas lady with abilene and i evans at the same for all of you. if you feel the same with somebody, get you on the website. yeah. you know, just saying that because the cameras and route, you know, my time. thanks for taking me. i'll give you your stick back. i feel very safer on you guys then. thanks so much. thank you. thank you. thank

ok. listen, i feel safer with these guys are in, even though we know there's wild tokens right there, but they're all positive about what they're doing. and you know, maybe if in the future communities or other countries can follow their example, maybe there's hope for the time period. thank you. thanks the air cheers guys. it is 2 years. even with a growing human population and shrinking wilderness, the are ways that people and wildlife can come exist in india. mobile phone technology is being used to warn work is 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 local, see used to post snow leopard. now protect them in return for

a lucrative business in snow. leopard friendly products. further encroachment is inevitable. but if communities can land 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. ready there on the horizon is some so island where they are officially 100 percent renewable. we get that. and so this is it, that's the entity, right. did we ease of change on al jazeera december on and just either host the fever, erica, a momentous event for the region, and a glimpse of what's in store for the 2022 wildcat. people in power investigates the
