chile and patagonia, a place where tradition is meeting progression. a wild majestic spectacle where one of the world's longest countries has benefited from the largest land donation in history to create a conservation project on a vast scale.

among the plans in place is an initiative hoping to bring more visitors to the area, called the root of parks. joining i7 the root of parks. joining 17 old and new parts together to create a huge network of wild areas to explore. more than 1700 miles. my my journey to myjourney to its heart takes me six hours in a a—wheel myjourney to its heart takes me six hours in a 4—wheel drive along rough terrain. so, we have blown a tire, and as you can see behind me, the road is pretty rough. we had one of these huge potholes. i guess that is part of the story of tourism here. the infrastructure is still a work infrastructure is still a work in progress for the government, but for two philanthropists, the root of parts was just the latest part in a decade—long

project in both chile and argentinian patagonia. doug had spent time in patagonia before, creating the clothing brand, north face, and chris had been ceo of the band — brand, patagonia. ceo of the band - brand, patagonia-— ceo of the band - brand, pataaonia. ~ . ., patagonia. when he decided to net out of patagonia. when he decided to get out of the _ patagonia. when he decided to get out of the business - patagonia. when he decided to get out of the business and - get out of the business and do something different with his vice —— life, dedicated his life to conservation and things that he loved, these 200 —— countries came back into the front of his mind. in 1991, | doug botta coastal farm in doug botta coastalfarm in southern chile, and over 30 years, along with chris and the tompkins conservation organisation, they ought to million organ acres over argentina. re— welding came high on their agenda, repopulating the diverse range of species and had been critically imbalanced.

the numbers of birds in chile have dropped significantly. in this valley, rerolling has raised numbers from dozen to around 70 so far. so, how does this fit into the ecosystem here?

the changes here have brought new opportunities for local through tourism and a range of work, including for the traditional chilean cultural icon, the gaucho. dom danielle now helps monitor the native male deer. traditionally, they are horseman skilled at protecting cattle and sometimes hunting predators. but now, he has a wider review of the predators as an important part of the

animal network. beeping today, he uses modern techniques to track the dears nearby. the signal is quite strong when you point the antenna that way. it is like one of those tv antennas from the 70s or 80s that you have on your roof. but it seems to be doing the job. 0h, yep, i can hear it. 99% of the original population are thought to have been lost, leaving them endangered. but with dom danielle's help, we soon spot something in the distance.

gosh, look at him go! so... we have actually found one of the deer. it is in the distance, in the grass. he is quite well camouflaged. we move for a closer look and quickly see the there are in fact three together. so, we are approaching the deer from a lower ground angle so we don't scare them.

it is unbelievable that now the numbers have grown, we have been able to track them within the space of quarter of an hour, and here we are, able to get this close to them. in 2017, they donated the last of the parts of the chilean state under the condition that they are protected as national parks. the chilean government also added to existing national parkland to create the root of parks, an area the size of switzerland. the tompkins nation was said to be the biggest private land donation

to a country in the world history, but it was not without controversy. i history, but it was not without controversy-— controversy. i think that colonisation _ controversy. i think that colonisation of - controversy. i think that colonisation of territory | controversy. i think that i colonisation of territory in human history is absolutely discussed as it should be. there is no question about that. i don't think we can roll back the clock and hope that slavery didn't happen and that almost the entire globe was conquered by four or five imperialist countries. there is no question about that. i am very proud of what we do because every hectare we have ever purchased goes right back to the people of the country. tragically, doug never saw the completion of the donation, passing away in 2015. pa, completion of the donation, passing away in 2015. a good friend of mine _ passing away in 2015. a good friend of mine from - passing away in 2015. a good friend of mine from new- passing away in 2015. a good | friend of mine from new york city wrote to me just a few days after he died, and she said, look, you have a choice here. you can be the

long—suffering widow or you can get out of bed and go do these things. and she was right. that was a conscious decision i was going to have to make. and so i just thought, 0k, going to have to make. and so i just thought, ok, let's go for it. and that is when i started trying to tie up everything and within two years we had them all donated.— within two years we had them all donated.- and - within two years we had them all donated.- and that l within two years we had them all donated. maw. and that was all donated. wow. and that was all donated. wow. and that was a lot of work. _ all donated. wow. and that was a lot of work. and _ all donated. wow. and that was a lot of work. and i think - all donated. wow. and that was a lot of work. and i think it - a lot of work. and i think it saved my life. needing to do that. . �* saved my life. needing to do that. . ~ ., ., that. yeah. and what would doug have said? _ that. yeah. and what would doug have said? sitting _ that. yeah. and what would doug have said? sitting here _ that. yeah. and what would doug have said? sitting here now... i have said? sitting here now... 0h, he would have said... good job, bird. imagine he is pretty happy. yeah. job, bird. imagine he is pretty happy- yeah-— job, bird. imagine he is pretty happy- yeah-- i- job, bird. imagine he is pretty happy. yeah.- i am - job, bird. imagine he is pretty l happy. yeah.- i am happy. happy. yeah. good. i am happy. i mean, happy. yeah. good. i am happy. i mean. we're — happy. yeah. good. i am happy. i mean, we're not _ happy. yeah. good. i am happy. i mean, we're not done - happy. yeah. good. i am happy. i mean, we're not done yet, - happy. yeah. good. i am happy. i mean, we're not done yet, but| i mean, we're not done yet, but i mean, we're not done yet, but i hope we are never done.

stay with us because still to come on the travel show... the neglected treasures of tripoli where we are with a man who has made it his mission to document these lebanese artefacts before they disappear forever. and we catch up with this man as he attempts to make it up the hamilton canal by paddle. and this time, he is in its up to his neck. don't go away. welcome back to patagonia here in the foot of chile, and just over there, you can see the border of argentina. i can tell you it gets pretty cold down here. let's had now to a totally different climate and a different part of the world. we are crossing to lebanon next, and its second city, tripoli. it is not quite as well—known

as is big brother, a route on the south, but what it lacks in fame, it makes up for in public artand fame, it makes up for in public art and architecture. after hundreds of years out in the elements, its many artefacts are beginning to show signs of wear and neglect. one man has made it his mission to record these islamic treasures for posterity. call to prayer. the priority today of the people is not art. it is about finding medicine overfinding food to sustain their daily life. despite this art still valuable and important, now it is more

important than ever because we have a huge risk of losing it. i was born in tripoli, i was raised in tripoli, my family is also from tripoli. tripoli is everything to me. what i really like in the city, it is a really authentic city, yet it is still working since its establishment, though it never stopped. and the people here, they are fighters and survivors. i started really exploring this city and they just saw how i started really exploring this city and theyjust saw how rich the city is like an and culture and traditions. we go right, then we go left, then there is

a door and the old side of a school, this patternjust in the middle of the stairway going up. can you imagine how much work this will take, someone will design it and then someone will design it and then someone will design it and then someone will try to sculpt it and to carve it into stone and somebody to please adhere to decorate this facade and then just forget about it, easy. look at this example, by the way. you would see 700 year old statues just covered graffiti. they could have done it on other places, whyjust here? and look at this two beautiful schools. you can see the history of the city literally fading away. the purpose of

this project is to document and digitalise islamic art that we have in the city to preserve that for the future generations. after taking three photos from three angles they will be importing them to this programme so they can take the mutual points so i have a very sharp 2d version of the patent itself. god forbid if anything occurs in the city, it would be a catastrophe because we would be losing the original artwork but since we documented those artworks we are able to create the exact professional version that the artist used 700 years ago.

a lot of my work now reflects the history of the art of the city and working with these old materials and artistic designs, i've felt like i was part of history now. like there's something of me attached to these stone pieces. a wish i could be positive, hoping good things for the future in trilpoli, but the problem is we are losing a lot of good minds travelling and emigrating everywhere in the world. but i hope one day trilpoli would regain its power and its glory and that the people would have more time and more energy to respect art and may be to see the city the way i see it.

explorer is on his latest challenge, paddling 50 kilometres down sri lanka's canal network to the capital colombo. after meeting people leading the efforts to clean the waterways, we join leading the efforts to clean the waterways, wejoin him leading the efforts to clean the waterways, we join him for the waterways, we join him for the next stage of his journey. this time he is navigating a lagoon, visiting the city's largest market and exploring the forest that could prove a vital tool in the fight against climate change. i vital tool in the fight against climate change.— vital tool in the fight against climate change. i am here this morning. _ climate change. i am here this morning, starting _ climate change. i am here this morning, starting my - climate change. i am here this morning, starting my trip - climate change. i am here this morning, starting my trip to i morning, starting my trip to the lagoon. this is actually how the water looks like. yes you are right, it's lack. bb, you are right, it's lack. aa entered — you are right, it's lack. aa entered the _ you are right, it's lack. aa entered the lagoonjust you are right, it's lack. aa entered the lagoon just a few hundred metres away, but i expect now at least a much

clearer and clean water. in the beginning it doesn't look like any better but further on, looks promising. they say the biggest fish marketers here on the corner and they must visit right now. so the market is the biggest fish market, they say most of the product to come from the lagoon but some fishermen also come from the ocean so let's have a look, looks very busy. i was told that here in sri lanka fish stocks have fallen dramatically in recent years and that pollution might be part of the problem. in this fish market, recently they don't have a lot of fish because they have the people, they are throwing a lot of the plastic, something like that. so going out of the

market, i want to see the mangroves. i see a little waterway, mangroves. to go somewhere inside, you know? mangroves can be a very good weapon in fight against climate change. somebody said to me that during, but funny thing is is not so easy to see something. but i can feel the

nice smell of something is grilling. might be my lunch. food time? won looks amazing. prawns? from the lagoon? 0k, food time? won looks amazing. prawns? from the lagoon? ok, so is the same as i saw and market today. i think it is too much for me! thank you, i'd appreciate it. fish and prawns, extremely good. this fish is amazing, and this is, already from yesterday is coconut with something. with lemongrass! amazing. better go, iguess. don't want to take it too long today. a0 past two and these kilometres around ten kilometres around ten kilometres awaits on the lagoon

and is not so easy. i was expect thing lagoon to be huge, but now when i am here, it looks like middle of nowhere. i think i have a little crack here, i don't know. something unexpected havejust here, i don't know. something unexpected have just happened and i have lots of water in my boat. i don't know exactly why yet but here it is. i discovered it's the waves spilling over into the boat. by the time i get most of the water out, knight is approaching fast. still a few kilometres to go and the sun is down already stopping now is absolutely the time to get out from here. i can see already lights there in front of me, may and a couple of kilometres and this is all saints church lights. igoogle already before and now i have to reach this

place otherwise as may too dangerous to stay, there is so called crocodiles. i haven't seen them but they don't want to feel them for sure. and is getting completely dark now so probably will not manage to reach the place with any kind of light. i have a torch. sonar remains tojust keep of light. i have a torch. sonar remains to just keep going. and tojoin us next remains to just keep going. and to join us next week to see if he makes it all the way to the end. also coming up, rajan is in dublin on the 100th birthday of one of its best—known but most challenging classic novels and meeting what have to be some of the luckiest librarians in the world.— in the world. wow! look at this! the — in the world. wow! look at this! the ceiling _ in the world. wow! look at this! the ceiling is - in the world. wow! look at i this! the ceiling is incredible and it goes on for a long, long way. at must be at least 16

glorious story here. just down the road in north wales, well, that was the highest temperature recorded in flintshire with 19 celsius. that's because we were sheltered from a fresh easterly wind coming in off a cool north sea. it dragged in a lot of cloud with it. most of the weather action over the last few days has certainly been across europe where we've seen some hideous weather, wet and windy at times across northern spain and portugal, and that's going to continue for the weekend. for us, though, there will be a lot of cloud, and it's been pushing in off the north sea, and the cloud thick enough for some coastal fog which will linger across the far north—east of scotland. but once again, western areas in scotland, northern ireland, north—west england seeing the best of any sunshine. the cloud will break up across england and wales, but we could see a rash of showers into south wales and south—west england as we go through the afternoon. yes, it's going to be another breezy day, so on exposed north sea coasts, it will be noticeably cooler. we're likely to see those temperatures perhaps peaking at around 12 or 13 degrees. but in western areas and maybe into the south—east, where we see that cloud break up and more sunshine coming

through, 18 degrees, once again, is quite possible. so, there's that low pressure bringing yet more wet weather and significant snow across the alps in europe. at the same time, we're under this influence of high pressure, but there'll be plenty of isobars squeezed together, so a significant breeze yet again on sunday. that may well help to break up the cloud a little further on sunday, but it will continue to drag in a lot of low cloud and sea fog across the northern isles and far north—east of scotland. 9—11 degrees here, but with more sunshine and fewer showers, 18, once again, not out of the question. then, as we head into next week, the isobars will open up a little, but we can track that wind direction to more of a north—easterly, a cooler source if anything. so, yes, potentially lighter winds, but that's going to drag in a little more in the way of cool air in comparison to of late. so, we keep the theme dry to close out the month of april, but noticeably cooler than we've seen over the last couple of days. take care.
