11:39 pm
rain forest connection surveillance system consisting of an old mobile phone external my found recycle solar panel shards which listens in on the sounds of the 40. ready i, julia cofer, a 3 chair i j, a frontier to the wire. these listening devices important. it's not really feasible for the rangers themselves to walk around in and petrol the entire place. but noise travels pretty well for the voice. and so we can put these devices up in the tree, these guardians, that can listen to the forest and to pick out all sorts of stuff like chainsaws or, or old gunshots, or even the animal node, the garden device. and how do they work? what are we made of? these are basically old cell phones that people send to us. we put them up in trees and they can last for years. they listen to the forest and we can pick out anything we're looking for. we're about to go up the tree right now and uncle john, your parents and see how it all sort of comes together. yeah, i love that every is a 4 way or but i think i can manage. now you got it. ah mention of 2 of working.
11:40 pm
okay, i'm ready running with scary. ah, let's take a look with a little solar panel, these panels who wants to be at to bill out of recycle charts. are there lined up here? i feel to make use it's on my under trick every. how many guardians do you have in the saddle? ankle? are there a 10? is there a lot though? right now. as in different locations around different locations and because the microphones are pretty sensitive, we can pick up a lot that happens within a pretty broad area. all of this data streaming to a server that we have to release antenna that we have now to appear at the top. wow, i know we streaming that over the standards up on network, even out here in the forest is pretty good. even our conversation right now is being, is being seen for the input nature system. i can even open up our app and we can listen to ourselves so that your company
11:41 pm
just a little higher up is the unit containing the firm that these solar panels charge at least half on inside. and that's a little microphone. we'll try to make sure that we're using with in the country already to allow this thing to grow. so easy, existing cell phone service or using ecuadorian cell phones. and eventually we're hoping very soon that these windows themselves can build these fine to plot themselves. they're the ones who are gonna take the course. we're just here to buy them special tools that help them fine with just so laden. okay, so lady is helping me with a storm brewing. it's time to make a quick exit from the tree. the next day i find out exactly how this device can help stop the illegal activity in the forest. so these are these loads of restless and in there is the time what
11:42 pm
type of alert and location lengthy and then you can start seeing all this on that is fine one cause and it was on various and they were only a few changes. just kind of what we expect, okay. you say to for, and i are, today's illegal loggers are with our chains are we want to check the range is are able to find us using the device which can cover an area of 3 square kilometers. so tell me a little bit about how this works. i mean, how do they know what a chains off the train, just artificial intelligence model that we built. give it a little bit of a hint, could speak with training data, and it can pick out. so what looking for from there on forward. okay, let's give it a go. ah gladly those young there was brought grandma

11:44 pm

11:45 pm
here look, i have ever said, ah, with a global population increasing the rush to use an exploit of finite natural resources is set to intensify. but it isn't just the environment that suffered since 2015, at least 147. landon environmental defenders have been killed globally. that's more than 4 people each week. in the philippines alone, really 100 activists have lost their lives since 2010 while trying to protect the land. meanwhile, in honduras, more than a $120.00 people died during the same period, including the country's most prominent indigenous environmental liter. betty caceres, who had the campaign against the construction of a dam,

up to 65 percent of the lands on the planet is managed by indigenous peoples and communities. and yet it's estimated that less than 20 percent is legally owned by them. with these vulnerable environments increasingly becoming a battle ground, the fight to protect them has never been more important. ah, ah, australia is one of the most fired of as countries on f and for tens of thousands of years. it's land has been skilfully managed by its 1st peoples traditional small scale burning was an integral part of maintaining the car system. since colonization many indigenous people have been forced off the land. in their absence lodge wildfires have moved in, aggravated by climate change and rising temperatures. i'm in west in australia where the traditional learners are returning to their ancestral lands,

rekindling ancient practices to protect one of the largest and most intact, already co systems in the world. ah, the 10s of thousands of years, a vast area of the western desert was home to the modern people. some of them were contacted by europeans as late as the 19th 60 and they were cleared off their land . since then, enormous wildfire had devastating the landscape with around 18 animal species disappearing from the area on my way to the desert, i'm stopping off to meet garrett an extent on how fire has affected my to country. have there been any particularly bad fires in recent years on modern country? the biggest fall hasn't been somewhere in the order of 2 and a half 1000000 hectares. this is a composite image taken out of a 10 knots and it shows some of the flaws in the western desert. is fire is
11:49 pm
emitting more lot than sidney. this is a mega floss. those are extreme events. we're saying these huge events where there's a lot of right out of some of lots of graphs growth, and then you end up with the landscape. it's entirely fundable and ignore with the 1st blocking strikes of the on coming stones, the next on the top left on checked. this sort of thing will only get worse to how important is it to have moto, on country auto for this plan. scott, with the interaction of people with the does it as in tom shakita to submit the solution to these destructive wildfires is surprisingly fire. modern traditional burning practiced for millennia is now being brought back to the land in 2002, the modern one native title over the land warning. and they have since started a ranger program key part of which is continuing this ancient practice. a

11:51 pm
ranges, how and where to plan to kate, the land, healthy a lawyer a dinner and then well, you know there's, i'm glad you're not willing i got a bit of flame. so you're like, tougher than walked in and watch out a these traditional method forms thousands of small, clear patches that can prevent large wildfires from taking hold with way already. how does lighting fire stuff fire if they make a fire like they've been making a fire break. so lightning strikes and it's my thought
11:52 pm
a big before the by the time that i get there and just stop. yeah. and it doesn't friends are yeah. with no mater, there's no firebreak. yeah. yeah. the range is only been at school and as the vegetation is still grained from the rains, this small file will soon go out a little bit more more budget a lawyer miguel avalo brig. ah, well, i went on a little meg, a crowd off because of the fire you. their eyes are so in tune with what to look for on this lead plunder with a lower level
11:53 pm
for union, n o o, and they are getting yellow. my know out of them are in awe. once areas have been bent, they provide a diverse mix of habitats that can serve the native flora and fauna. the re, growth in this small burnt patch provides perfect foraging grounds, and the ranges now map and monitor the animals. yeah, this is the male li. it's got a 40 a tile biggie years there. astray lee has the worst rights of mammal extinction in the world. like other animals, the bill be a small, nocturnal marsupial has been in decline since the modern left the land. the ranges now map and monitor population numbers using gps, track is and camera traps. there's a van, there's a building out really the, the tracks there from last. i don't want to put the camera, dan, so again,
11:54 pm
i'm counting him. elizabeth time was over here and is that what tomato was the name again and matter why? we're laugh b as good right now we've got a bit of push tucker, it's time to set up camp for the night o. m ah we're going to cook up some kangaroo. how's it like i used to just sit back and watch my teeth, but we can eat them because there's so many of them all over our country in the modern ebay will be. but i, when i got a deal for

tomorrow, we're going to head out to monitor another of the endangered species. yeah. the black flanked rock wallaby ah, the ranges don't always work alone in their conservation of the wildlife here on moderate country. one of their partners is elisha whittington from parks and wildlife has been working with the ranges for the past 5 years. i made sure that i was gonna put them roku. let me try something they feel good at risk of extinction. in the past few years, black flanked rock wallabies have been found in several new locations on modern country elisa, who told you that they were rock boulevard like, you know, going to come out and say, this exact form walk i told you they were able to work with people like walk into neither countries,
11:56 pm
i will really have these traps will enable the ranges to monitor the health and genetic diversity of this will a big population. i was just fancy scott flow be pay. yeah. and that's a good time for you to run qualities. large scale was everybody's ranges really tight over and also a really good fog. it's really important. and in the country so much hope you, because my, to a jared managers to recover a camera truck which could show whether a healthy population of rock wallabies is persisting thanks in part to the continuation of traditional mod burning in the area. and then boom, wow, that's incredible. look at that one, a thread of clothes, mostly arrow. and since marty have returned to the desert in areas where they're burning, the overall size and intensity of wildfires have reduced dramatically. but the
