3:34 pm
severely to great it each year we lose $15000000000.00 trees and $24000000000.00 tons of fat, hostile and at least $10000.00 species become extinct in the land. we live on its been strange to breaking point restoration and conservation, a key to its supply from andrew liana shots and guayaquil ecuador, where an innovative device is helping to protect the forest from expansion and exploitation from the city. i'm rachel hawking. in western australia, brand ancient culture is leading the way i'm protecting the unique does it world enough? ah lou located in southern echo are settled uncle. it's one of the last remaining dry forest and the country threatened by the expanding city, illegal settlements hunting and coaching the forces in critical danger of extinction. along with the native wildlife news ecuadorian dry forest are
3:35 pm
incredibly by a diverse habitats. yet, due to human activity, they have been reduced to just one percent of their original coverage. i've traveled here to see how listening device is made from recycled technology, could help protect the forest and endangered wildlife. the population of guayaquil has increased tenfold over the last 60 years and is now home to nearly 2000000 people. drawn here by employment opportunities, migrants are often only able to afford to live on the outskirts which have now spread within the boundaries of the settled local reserve. i'm heading into the forest to meet the people for conserving this protected area. don perfecto is the reserves chief ranger, just re elect video that affect figure why the level but i said really which oh so he has been working to protect the forest for over 20 years. but this has become increasingly difficult to ask if there was
3:36 pm
a fan or nickel. one been good gum poll. different feel latifah? every fatima, lighter fiscal, louisiana. he is a if you look into further, your mom was ill or morning they were getting a lot. nico therapy period for internet. wow, alive, hassan, who here knows will i put him in my little little, little. he put a short, i you. and if they really gotten will come, you know, but i got so low. yeah. you but i got you feel that the new where the rangers have managed to stop the city moving further into the forest. they still have to deal with criminal activity such as land trafficking, illegal logging and hunting. less have a nice has margaret on this. but al serra lang coordinate, the width of sun quantities owner cascadia, a boat de la la edward, feebly meant that he knew what the n i g or she knew them were for. yeah,
3:37 pm
it does look wonder. yeah, very clearly. it was a part of the puzzle, but as gover generally come, won't they level to city yet that that a c e laska followed his k if are these or unless our lower the fees or, or girl you and them at a model, you know, so no credit, i'm more out of it. the friend the give me a buzz. ah, the rangers not only protect the forest, but the native wildlife that inhabited a la la la mumbo arranger here for 11 years. for the past 3, armando has been fighting to protect one of settled blanco's, most iconic birds can fit for how i and those are the gun villamore we, i'm going to provide you. deforestation and hunting has left the great green mccoy
3:38 pm
in critical danger. conservation programs have been successful in increasing their numbers in captivity, but it is thought that there are now less than 10 left in the wild here and settled on in and out of these macaws were recently released and still need support from the rangers. for kathy and kick with our faith and land that go as a low low filing boom and so bad about a gl myers, m. o madison no m will have been available. see it out and borrow it on my by. are you really bad on? yes. look, woman moved the rangers are doing their best to stop all illegal activity in the forest. but with 60 square kilometers to patrol and armed men to face. ready it's a big and dangerous job for just 9 of them. it's especially difficult for them to see or hear when somebody is trespassing a legally. but there's a new technology on hand to help that out. engineer tougher white has developed
3:39 pm
rain forest connection surveillance system consisting of an old mobile phone external mike phones and recycle solar panel charts, which listens in on the sounds of the for i joy, i am clover a 3 tier i j a frontier to her 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 other devices up in the trees. 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. how do they work? what are we made up? 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 johnny up there and see how it all 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 them
3:40 pm
working. okay, i'm ready running with scary. ah, let's take a look with a little solar panel. these panels are wants to be at the bill out of recycle charts. are there lined up here a feel to make use? it's on my under tricky. 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 extremely up to a server that we have through the st tenant 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 open up our app and we can listen to ourselves. so
3:41 pm
this is debbie calvin, p. just a little higher up is the unit containing the firm that be solar panels charge loses off 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 using 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 now. course we're just here to buy them special tools and help them fine with just so laden. okay, so any, yeah, it will take me with a storm brewing. it's time to make a quick exit from the tree top the next day. i know exactly how this device can help stop the illegal activity in the forest. so these are these alerts arrest mess and in there is the time. what
3:42 pm
type of alert location goes away. and then you can start seeing all this on a map. there's phone one cars and it was on various and they were only a few changes just kind of what we expect. okay. you say tougher 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 i changed off the train, just artificial intelligence model that we built, give it a little bit of a hint, could speak to training data, and it can pick out. so what we're looking for from there on forward. okay, let's give it a go. ah, with what brought vamos
3:43 pm
with a decade when people are caught between zones or guns will be confiscated and they could feast jail time or be find at to a quarter of a $1000000.00 a week, almost a year. carlos glasses, fairburn food, okay, one way or better we, we work with it, which i'm one beta. whoa. and then what the thea, i mean i get out of interest that i eat that sadly for that see the reinforce connection devices are relatively new to set of blanco. but they have already had great success in sumatra and cameroon, stopping illegal,
3:44 pm
loggers and poachers. the world has lost nearly half its forest through human activity, simple and sustainable. these guardians may be able to make a real difference to the forest and wildlife that lives within them. armando takes me to one of the critical locations for the listening device in one of the few nesting places in the forest for the great grima cause w. m. o, i bumper and why you along my l of bill. this is bang yet one another. i'm only you and then we'll get that i able to have been there going of i am b, joan ombang and and p o e logo, halo ending of the know then they'll go by you. yes, a thing in the e yellow a on same will or if a by you way, i gave you and i'll go marathon,
3:45 pm
i go my him man. and with that brought the hey look, i have a set of, ah, with the global population increasing the rush to use and exploit a finite natural resources is set to intensify. but it isn't just the environment that suffering since 2015 at least 447 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 lands. meanwhile, in honduras, more than a 120 people died during the same period, including the countries most prominent indigenous environmental liter, better hazardous, to how the campaign against the construction of a dam was murdered in her own home. in march 2060 fellow activist gustavo custard
3:46 pm
was with her that day he was interviewed by al jazeera is full twice in europe. in this, you're younger than we fled to any sci momento actually generals. he got it is which are a pilot studies molasses from from f william where we to assume a link went through in the the in and and it be so generally sangre, it isn't the puzzle. me not in k m o u m without. mm . was you kill theater? kiara is fuschia. what can a low nika? i can piano company was he company is but he was taught to als, perceives if india noticed that he thought youth is, is trauma. believe it was okay. up to 65 percent of the lands on the planet is
3:47 pm
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 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. ah, i'm in western australia with a traditional learners are returning to their ancestral lands,
3:48 pm
rekindling ancient practices to protect one of the largest and most intact already coast systems in the world for tens 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 960 and they were cleared off their land. since then, enormous, wild flies have devastated the landscape with around 18 animals species disappearing from the area. on my way to the desert, i'm stopping off to meet garrett, an expert on how fire has affected my to country. have there been any particularly bad fires in recent years on modern country? the biggest flaws in somewhere in the order of total health 1000000 hectares. this is a composite image taken. i have a 10 knots and it shows some of the flaws in the western desert. is fire emitting more lot than sidney?
3:49 pm
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 lighting strikes of the on coming stones in the next on the left on checked. this sort of thing will only get worse to how important is it to have motto on country auto for this plan. scott, with the interaction of people with the does a, as in tom shakita cases and 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, a key part of which is continuing this ancient practice. a dry season has just
3:50 pm
begun the size, so i'm joining one group as they go deep into modern country for 2 days to stop. they apply a program before wildfires can take hold with i'm indigenous to from whoa pre country. i spent part of my childhood in a remark community northeast. so i'm looking forward to getting back out to the desert. kara williams has been a range of here for the last 5 years. what made you want me to ranger out to learn more motto content. did you know about these things before you became a ranger? i'm not really. i learned from a walker is one of the relatively few aboriginal out his left crew members using fire to hunt during his bushman days. he's in good knowledge of the landscape means he can show the younger ranges, how and where to plant kate,
3:51 pm
the land, healthy a a a 100 and you're not willing i got a bit of flame. so you get like tougher than walked in and watch out a. 2 these traditional method forms thousands of small, clear patches that can prevent large wildfires from taking hold. a way like how does lighting fire stop fire if they make a fire like they've been making a fire break. so lightning strikes and it's my thought
3:52 pm
a big with far the by the time that i gets here, just stop. yeah. and it doesn't friends are yeah. with no matter there's no firebreak. yeah. the range is only been at school and as the vegetation is still green from the rains, the small file will soon go out with my mom a boy, you read a gamble or you know why that a little make a cross because of the fire you their eyes are so in tune with what to look for on this land. with . no more, le, le, for union n, a yellow,
3:53 pm
my know out of them are in awe. once areas have been burned, 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 pile 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 trackers and camera traps. they're behind the building. oh, really the, the tracks there from last night. i put the camera down, so again, i'm counting him. elizabeth time was over here. miss
3:54 pm
tamara over the name again in modern one. we're laugh as good right now. we've got a bit of push tucker, it's time to set up camp for the night. 0 one a day. we're going to cook up some kangaroo tails like this. i used to just sit back and watch matthews, but we can eat them because there's so many of them all over our country in the modern ebay building. but i will be in mind that a deal for
3:55 pm
tomorrow. we're going to head out to monitor another of the endangered species via the black flanked rock wallaby. ah, the ranges don't always work alone in their conservation of the wildlife here on modern country. one of their partners is elisha whittington from parks and wildlife has been working with the ranges for the past 5 years. i did i were gonna roku, let me trap something nice hills good at risk of extinction. in the past few years, black flanked rock wallabies have been found in several new locations on modern country. alicia, who told you that they were rock boulevard, of lucky enough to come out and say, this exact form, walk i told you they fail to work with people like walker in the country so well really have these traps will enable the ranges to monitor the health and genetic
3:56 pm
diversity of this will a big population. i was just friends with scott's buffalo b pay. yeah. and that's a good sign. fine. you for all qualities, lodge skywalk was everybody's ranges really tight holder and also a really good fog. it's really important. and am the country so much hope you, because my 2 gentlemen jared, manage to recover a camera truck which could show whether a healthy population of rockwell, obese is persisting thanks in part to the continuation of traditional marty burning in the area. and then boom, wow. that's incredible. like when it brought out clothes mostly are since smile, you have returned to the does it in areas where they're burning the overall size? an intensity of wildfires have reduced dramatically. but the modern on
3:57 pm
a learn there are over 100 indigenous ranger groups across australia, helping to restore over 67000000 hectares with when you're out here. and you see people like walker sliding fires, you say the ranges, caring for the endangered spaces. you understand that without them this country is not going to survive. mm. if made me think about my own country, it's funny, it's hard to articulate. you know, that connection that aboriginal people have to that harm country. and that really brought that home for. mm hm. hello, malone la money. no good. though lombardo florida, with the serious consequences of destroying on land prompting the development of
3:58 pm
new methods of conservation. this drawn technology from the u. k. ames to reduce deforestation by sewing seeds faster and more efficiently than ever before. while the alley cropping technique in central america replace a slash and burn agriculture by planting rows of english trees. this creates healthy soil, allowing crops to be cultivated in the alleyways in trinidad and tobago. the roots of the better plans which can be over 7 meters long and to the soil to prevent land site solutions like these a vital to help us protect the land. but more important still is that we limit our consumption of natural resources. the future of our planets depends on its ah
3:59 pm
the journey has begun the fee for wold copies on its way to catherine book, your travel package today. hello, they were watching 2 tropical storms in central america and the caribbean. but before we get there, let's have a look at south america. and the wet weather can be found in the north west with the more storms creeping into coastal areas of columbia. gonna dry up however for the east coast of brazil, that storm system pulling away for rio de janeiro. and we will see more in the way of sunshine certainly by monday. now that's not the case for the south. for chile, an argentina, we've got a cold front sweeping through knocking the temperature down in santiago and bringing small severe storms to northern areas of argentina and speaking of storms as we moved to central america and the caribbean. this was the satellite image of
4:00 pm
tropical storm fiona, as it moved over the leeward islands, bringing heavy rain. it wasn't strong enough to become a hurricane, but those wind speeds may pick up after it's moved through puerto rico and the dominican republic where it brings the threat of land slides and flooding is expected to move towards the turks and cake of islands and strengthen. now we've also got further west of this tropical storm lesta. that's expected to make landfall in mexico in acapulco on saturday, and then going to take the stronger winds and the wet weather up the west coast of mexico. that sure weather update. i'll be back with more later official airline pitcher ah, this is al jazeera oh.
