and walk, and i can remember something that is very, very good because a lot of our guys actually a died for, for ukraine, for freedom for forever forever. the use video techniques here to help recover the physical and the artistic, the even have pet therapy. the horses, a popular diversion co live on the it's hard to help while they're actively serving with the military. we have to stabilize them and get them back to the front. the real work will start when the war and the average stay for patients here is around 3 or 4 weeks, but the recovery that takes a lifetime. alan fisher, i'll just either on the outskirts of keith, italy is coping with his worst drought in 70 years. adam rainy reports from the po valley. this is what it leaves, longest and most important river, the po looks like right now. parched in it,

dangerously low levels. its water provides the life blood for farmers who produce italy's most valuable crops. walking through his field of stunted corn farmer, andriana tune your lot, the son and grandson of corn growers shows us the damage wrought by the drought. krista with daniel here this call may just be throwing away all because of the drowns because it hasn't rained in months. totally ruined. down river, where the pole empties into the adrian mac. engineer rodolfo la n t e shows us how the current is running in reverse from the sea to the land, because the river is so low. looking over maps, he shows me how salt water is entering nearby farmland, lead into says salt water barriers are failing because they weren't built for such dangerously low river levels. he regularly monitors the salt levels in the river. he's never seen at this bad. this is him having to get, i mean,

it's now registering 25 grams per liter. that means that sea water, salt water level here, should be one gram per liter to be able to distribute to farmers. and the effect of so much salt water incursion, burnt crops, worthless and withering in the field. many fields poisoned by salt water may not even produce crops next year. it's not just a problem for agriculture. muscle farmer, paula munching says he'll lose 30 percent of his harvest from this lagoon on the po delta this year. busy the cost of them all these muscles are all dead. fresh water from the po hasn't made it here. so they just die. seems like this are increasingly common along the po. whole area is usually covered by water. now exposed, turned in the beaches are islands of sand in the middle by the river, usually flows. and those who provide water to farmers in the po valley say they're not just worried about this summer's crops. but about years to come, a once in

a lifetime, drought shows how life could change here forever. though, if the mechanic with that if we lose the 3 tools we have had for centuries, we'll have to abandon our excellent crops. we'd give up our whole cultural heritage, a frightening prospect as people here and millions of others around the world struggle to adapt to a changing climate. adarine al jazeera in the po valley of northern italy and you are watching out a 0 am to forget the news continues here in 30 minutes time. that will be the news . our remember, you can go with our stories on our website. our 0 adult come stay with us. ah

ah, hello and welcome to a new series of arthritis. it's pretty com, okay. it rather windy out here amongst katara mangrove forest. but the has been a real sense of urgency making this in the middle of a pandemic. that's brought the welds which means and what started, because we could be bringing nature to its needs. over 19 is just one of many illnesses that it's billed i, which was from wildlife as wait. quite frankly ponder the natural world and common to close to contact with viruses found that abolla saas, h, i, v aids, 3 out of 4, emerging infectious diseases come from animals and one surfaces every 4 months. that the need to safeguard wild spaces like this one and to protect nature for its survival and our own has never been clearer. but panoramic is also generated as i for a green recovery. and that's what we're about here with arthritis solutions to the environmental crisis. we're starting

a series by looking at protecting wildlife and therefore healthy to prevent future outbreaks of exact origins of carbon, 19 or on known investigations have been carried out into the likes of baths and pallets and some species that these mammals remarked the 1000000 plants animals threatened extinction for there is hope. and yet now we meet the t rehabilitating traffic handler. and in southern india local for defending the only remaining home of one critically endangered bats. merely one in 5. my move in the world is a bad and the rumors that surround their existence of perhaps as extensive as the boss family itself, associations with darkness, an evil witch of and vampire, including count dracula, have led generations to see these flying creatures as sinister. but the grind i toes of coal are a home to a unique batt conservation story. for decades,

quarrying devastated with land leaving its god and degraded. but that was supposed to stop when a colony of babs was discovered in a cave in these hills belonging to a species so rare that it was thought to be extinct. i've come to canada car in india to find out how conservationists and locals took on the mining industry to win protected status for this land. the last remaining home in the world of the kohler league, no spot only around 200 of these spots exist here in bicola conservation reserve. it is also home to 5 other bad species, the majority of which reside in a tiny cave in the rock face. i meeting with bats biologists, roy chakrabarti and citizen scientists rogers. but just when my al high,

i forget to filing over there. i think today they are capturing bats using miss nets and collecting d. n. a. samples as night falls. these nocturnal animals begin to emerge out of the cave flying into the soft next, the place of the ring from where i'm thinking the fund. it will be grow in 3 weeks time. mm hm. it's remarkable to be able to see an endangered bath like the form of cloth back clear, vital rolling ecosystems, including pollination and controlling beth the color leaf nose. but it's 1000 in saxon each day. but threats including habitat, los and hunting, have left $21.00 species of bats, critically endangered, globally. including this one. these birds have it all over 30000000 years on thank is believe we've lost touch or help them been hunting under 33. you want to compare

documents. it's been proposed that back to have links, not only to coven 19, but also to other soon arctic diseases which can spread from animals to human, including a bowler and stars. this is why the destruction of their habitat has potential public health consequences. it's only when people start destroying porters and directly or indirectly come in contact with bats and their habitat. that's when these 2 logic diseases break out. so it's not the back itself, but what we do to it that actually threaten us of being exec bad use a technique called echo location that allows them to navigate using sound them. it sound waves of very high frequency which bounce off objects, enabling them to quickly establish what is in their vicinity. if you've seen small batch fly on, on st. louis, you should just observe the speed at which they got you and the anger leverage

therapy is whether it's clear whether it's better, whether it's object or whether it's another. but so they do all these calculations in 3 to 5 milli seconds, which is really faster than any super computer. and more find out i'm with hearing the spread of gov in 19 people have attacked baths around the world in march 2020, and solo indonesia. hundreds of bats in a wildlife market were called on orders of the mayor. and in may 2020 authorities issued directives to protect bath across the state of rochester in india. after more than $150.00 were killed there. ah, the goal, our region is one of india's grimay to mining half the miners would still

be on the hill would not for the determination of bad scientists. doctor barger machine of us who discovered a colony of gold. our leave no spots inside the cave. in 2030, the species hadn't been spotted in several decades. we found the roasting sight of his back and we found that there, there was mining alaskan mining happening, lots of trucks on this hill. and though mining had come to almost 100 meters near the hosting site, so immediately the alert of the local authorities 1st and also the local communities. we also ran a signature campaign, maybe villager without continued, protest that you know, you need to stop mining. a ban on mining happen in january 2015. and an area of 223 acres was declared a conservation resolved in 2019. finally, bringing protection to this critical batch habitat. these are the cut marks that

you can notice over you off the mining necklace happening back then because it is no disturbance after the habitat as healing. and the 1st signs of healing is the presence of grasses all around us. i mean, it just goes to show the when you give a land the time to hear it will bounce back. have you seen a difference in the number of bracken? are they coming back to their own hosting spot the bats had started using these? i can read hosting sites because they were smoked out by the miners since the mining band has happened. 15 that, you know, daddy are, they are coming back to those interesting sites. and their populations have also increased wonderfully well, i do think their population will continue to grow. yes. is there kind of reclaiming last land in the sense? yes, exactly. various species of body. dia, i'm even predators. like, let us have been cited in this landscape in the recent past, all because of the protection that a bat brought in to

do it. and i am heading inside the cave to try recording the high frequency vocalization of the call. our leaf nose bath using an ultrasound recording device will be getting right up close to them. the cave is less than a meter high, and 15 meters deep. i'm pretty sure there are no cluster phobic bus scientists. ah right, thanks to my face. so cool. now, i mean we are the ones from the chapter, but none of them are back in country to familiar belief. sheila does not

so yes, the back detector. you can see the axis was from 10 to 200 kilo hertz, so this is frequency only at this time. so this specter graham represents the sounds at the bottom making right now. yes, that's $8.00 to $9.00 times more than what we can higher than what we can. you know, that's the only things that the color leaf no spot has a distinct call which can be used identified amongst other baths in the cave to hear it without disturbance. i need to put your phones on there's a couple of them calling right now. you know, when i put these earphones on, i can hear these bad booklets, ations that sound almost alien. but as soon as i take them off, i can hear the sounds of the communities who live nearby, of the farmers who live alongside that. i mean,

if there's any evidence of the fact that bats and humans can co exist together seamlessly. this sounds good is exactly that the, this resolve would not have been possible without the support of the community. some of them have become ranges and they know what's going on with the federally more to columbia that people are germane and come from local farming villages around the result. she will say that it can be looked into, you know, why that is a comparison of the product proper ticket is a managing perception around the 5 species

takes. oh, especially when public hostility to them runs high when i'm projecting back in the 21st century. a will entail engaging with the local communities will live alongside baths and awareness workshops like this with the next generation can make all the difference. pay i had a bad girl baba not go on the no at that again or the get by are that the will get back to me and my love. what, buddy, the god with my time here has left me with renewed optimism about the survival of the goal, are leaf no spot now that it's only home has been safeguarded for the future. if anything, this pandemic has heightened the need to fiercely protect every last corner of habitat, we're left with a newly protected areas like girl r,

r a step in the right direction. me. so we're also willing for the offense, the kind of 19 pandemic. remember what we said earlier, that a new infectious disease emerges every 4 months. was hard to estimate their a $1700000.00 virus has yet to be discovered in mammals and birds, and around half of those could cross over to human. now when that happens, it's really down to us. any given species of animal has viruses and bacteria that circulate within that population of animals. these are viruses that have grown up with that animal over evolutionary time. the point where they've come to an understanding and through normal interactions, different animal species might exchange viruses or bacteria. those pathogens are able to jump from one animal to another. human activities, like agricultural, intensification and expansion of farming systems, deforestation, and land use change even the wildlife trade or moving wildlife out of their natural

environment and moving them around the world. these are the types of activities that bring people into closer contact with wildlife and create opportunity for those viruses that normally would search within wild animal population to make the jump into people. and that can happen directly or via domestic animals. and once a virus successfully makes the jump from animals and the people, then it's able to spread from person to person and has the opportunity to do that through social interaction locally where a local outbreak might occur. but really because we're connected globally more so than we ever have been in history, all it takes is a person getting on an airplane, carrying a new, do an audit virus. and that virus moves from one location to many locations. and that's how a localized epidemic becomes a global. and it's almost guarantee that we're going to see another large scale up a dynamic or even a pandemic, whether it's a corona virus or another type of do an audit virus. as long as we're continuing to do the types of activities around the world that allow these viruses to jump from

wild animals into people, we need to stop thinking about epidemics as random chance events that were victims of. we are directly influencing and have the power to prevent pandemic from recurring. we need to make better choices and do things to protect ecosystems and the natural environment around us, which is ultimately going to protect our own health and security. now the global wildlife trade, as we've heard, is one of the things increasing the risk of animal viruses coming into contact with humans. and since it's out of the pandemic, the cause to panic to become louder, but no regulation. of course, we'll stop the illegal wildlife trait and that's estimated to be was up to 23000000000 dollars each year. and it's driving a number of animals to extinction on ac stopped viet nam to meet conservation is protecting one of the traffic things most vulnerable victims. ah, angland have been roaming the earth for at least 45000000 years,

but now they are threatened with extinction. despite and international trade ban, nearly 1000000 have been trafficked over the past few decades, with many of them being used in traditional medicines or served as highly prized to meet one of the better philip at trade. and i'm here to visit a team of quite a basis who are racing again prior to say the world only through a fairly manual. annoy the bustling capital of vietnam thought removed from the natural habitat of a shy, sensitive, wild animal. but behind closed doors, illegal trade and penguins continues here. even with the countries tough wildlife protection laws and the prime minister, calling for their strict enforcement after the cold with 19 outbreak. i'm on my way to the center of hanoi, a popular destination for people looking for traditional chinese medicines. i hear

it's not hard to find the animal scale here for a range of health issues from arthritis to lactation, problems and going under cover with our producer who's got a hidden camera. we'll tell the shopkeepers i'm seeking remedies for my sister was just had a baby and is having trouble with breastfeeding. which i sick stores. shopkeepers either tell us they don't sell scales because it's illegal or say they have them but get suspicious. then we find something valuable, my uncle. and later, when i am with less out of follow the form that app on the same like wait a bit. they love the bill of lading that you wow. i love you. i think that was about to get from the last week. the bang glenn is one of the world's most traffic wild man off

vietnam is home to 2 of its 8 species. the chinese and assumed up angle in both are critically endangered globally. and their numbers are thought to have fallen by 80 percent or more in recent decades. wildlife trade monitoring network traffic estimates that between 201620 nearly 90 tons of the animal scale sees globally were linked to vietnam. but there is still hope for this disappearing mammon. i am traveling south, annoyed to go from national park, where local n g o is working tirelessly to rescue and release penguins. so i so tired of it, i knew alex hi, i'm douglas of your thumb like tie. and his team have returned nearly

a 1000 penguins to the wild since 2014 and are preparing to release another salesman over the next few days. they are currently 20 at the center, all rescues from trafficking network spit in vietnam and others southeast asian countries. many of the animals that come here are weak d hydrated and have serious injuries like this one angle in 1588 identified by the last few digits of his coat number at the center. the 7 year old last part of his front paw after being caught in a track. he's now ready to be released. no keep it should bed 18th. i've had it then i do come now, chums, helpful coley could sunday by so data man, logical book, by one of the other part about the sam mangrio chow haddonfield give good. i'm good . no boss. all from marble and carma. why my not allow they got a night,

a yet another thoughtful, the fun i path out there yet from vehicle cravath mad life. how i'm glad not little you'll google. i don't what you did there? no, no, but hung up with nam the down be suzette. but they did a much on the environment downs and been luck. you know, much older home to very about lam d. to doesn't me much, nikolai, i don't, but look, we name my, my with numbers plummeting each paddling baby offers new hope. yet their survival rate at the center is low with many born prematurely to females. that arrived pregnant but injured and stressed. ready since 2014, only 10 out of 23 made it this female. now 3 months old is a welcome. me, the man he land line and one mileage which i know number. he might have to

invent id somewhat not give jam. just a way to get him in the taking him in one at a time. i'm trying to load here. let me think i'm in that job. i think this is the only baby at the center right now. ready growing more independence by today, she'll be able to breed herself within a year to take on the link. but now tell me and i thought when i talked to him who can, can, can even man tonight, he had to pay that much invoice. that you know, the amount in which i hangal ends are mostly nocturnal and at night it's time to prepare their 1st meal khaki. like nancy cook. i'm just

kind of got to dump and find some gram good night. what did they think or pain as a new content? more look in. although dawn of watching quick one, what was that and then do back home can. so i built my life. i cafe like i am. i'm joining 1588 for his dinner, or rather breakfast amputated penguins don't always recover well enough to be released. so he is one of the lucky ones. not many meals to go here before he has to find his own. in the wild said vietnam's wildlife release. his penguins in protected areas which are controlled by forest ranger team. these need to be on constant alert to ensure the animals don't fall prey to their most dangerous animal. poachers. but there is another threat. the rangers will need to look out for passages. no evidence has been found,

but colbert 19 originated from penguins, but some have been known to carry corona viruses related to the one behind the disease. today the rangers are being trained to take samples from animal encounter in the while to 8 ongoing research efforts on the potential spill over of disease. the specimen for 2 days training is a dead stork. oh, all along. what? when cumberland this and i went back, you know, kinda look at the ego they to put in the book didn't on. yeah. he much and full lot of people don't do that. they do. he took off with back at the center. it's the big day. final health checks have been done.

microchips attached and penguin, 1588 and 6, others are ready to be released. hell cooking him to come when they know that that would come with double click on that day. i todd larvae to do so softball auto dot glow. some of the questions that you were going to begin or 5 our journey to a national park and central vietnam where the penguins are going to be released under tight security tonight. ah. ready can come look at some so from this i think on the line i gotten yet the piece of notebook i . so with the 1st spangler we set free is 1588

more data, 10 windows icon in the good news boy, by clicking on it. when i'm talking i've only been here for a few days, but during that time i really seen how vulnerable these creatures are. so this is a really special moment. i just hope they don't end up as trafficking that i think with so feel, penguins left in the world. everyone that survives in the wild really count. ah, the coffee 19 panoramic has revealed only chick lady how our health depends on the planets. but it's also shown that nature can thrive, giving hawk a chance during locked down to weld over. there was sightings of animals reclaiming open spaces as we retreated into our homes. dolphins falling in the bus for

a slip sample in turkey came as crowds, santiago, chile, mountain goats roam the streets. the welsh had landed in the new k beaches emptied out, threatens had lasted an unusually high number. the u. s. highlands tacky and tear, and cut up. these glimpses of nature at ease were relatively common during lockdown . they served to remind us we must re negotiate our relationship with the natural world. white the lies above fellow creatures on earth, they fall on depends on it. this is coven 19 has shown us they really do. ah! and a

blue ah, wherever you go in the world, one airline goes to make it feel exceptional. katara always going places to get control of the narrative, shapes the landscape. that's fairly inquisitive, paul. read those images front of mind, a fixer war very much bring forth out in the media as well as on the battlefield. the listening pe dice at the media on algebra. ah this.
