5:31 am
organization one bike is changing people's perception of the city street on. board with the asians are doing to reduce their god for pitch. and how not to project is making a board statement to combat every nation and climate change. what was for story that has a brutal beginning but lucky a happy ending indeed it is in the early ninety's or four hundred thousand stray dogs of mumbai were caught and killed most of the sunni didn't mean. local n.g.o.s have fought hard to me this practice never brought back for a more diverse. set of streets which is of the forefront of this fight along the road ahead.
5:32 am
when a board owners walks on the streets of the city street dogs unfeelingly greet him with a strong sense of recognition. many times to the surprise of passers by. as a kid i used to see dogs being taken over by you know dogs that were non neighborhood dogs that we knew was on me or blackie and the months used to pick up and kill there. really are lives that i mean why should this be done when that altimeters. my son be. for twenty two years artists in this n.g. the welfare of stray dogs have been working towards the alternative. nothing is
5:33 am
happening. thing is happening here then i infection on every sunday one of the many routines the following religious leap is to provide first aid to about twenty dogs in the forty area of south mumbai. you know. earlier the month of the operation is to kill them because they thought that was the only way it could bring down the bees or the stray dog population. for me this twenty two year old journey into a long term relationship and you know every time a dog passes over here part of me you know dice. the. street dogs in mumbai who typically belong to the indigenous. have had a history. they've considered a nuisance and a treat because the potential carriers of the slightest.
5:34 am
in the early ninety's it was organizations like ours is that for target for their right to be treated humanely. the so. that the way it used to walk that dog used to be kept for three days by them until cooperation in the dog and if nobody claimed them those two electrocuted them so there we still function is abuse to go and rescue these dogs. in the group. if.
5:35 am
we convince them one simple calculation that figures of how these beds have not gone down the speed doc population has not gone down that let this die an alternative it was a scientific humane method of controlling the adult population which is what we call an animal birth control. what we call sterilization osprey and you know. it wasn't until two thousand one that deceptive foods under the prevention of cruelty to animals act we did mandatory for you could go by street instead. but the lack of infrastructure in funds has meant that it has fallen the bone
5:36 am
interviews which are often financed through missions and grants to control it means the students population in mumbai my wife was. was. really. not still exist back seats cruised to three hundred dogs and so on the war. and even three things what this means is that they don't feel it was trained dogs and few facts and soothe and so that will prevent it from getting any maggots which is almost no and we've been feeding up for the last. five weeks and i think want to recall three dogs surely not a part of the world health organization want to call them free at all so they are looked after by somebody on the street the policeman the hawk the person lives
5:37 am
on the street you know so they are the ones who look after them give them names. you don't need. so dr. robert you. don't want con cues from behind such filming boats. should she. on one of the city's streets. she works as a housemaid and leaks just enough to feed her. and her. but it has been easy. living. like that of many of the. dogs in the city. just. the
5:38 am
last few of them but. she has imbued they can raise the back lunchboxes to the dogs. may be to me. a little. but there's a big response of it. so. that if you started then we wouldn't stop it we couldn't stop it so. said yes do it. over. there that we have not given them. more than that maybe.
5:39 am
they would. just. people coming in the vaccinating them in front so the thing that if these dogs are not full. because they are not so they realize that this is the best are we that you know the street dogs and humans can live live in harmony. now experts say that stray dogs tribe in the indian cities because it's become easier to find food it looks like it's not pretty different in germany i don't except it's white boards there who wandered into the city's limits and often don't go back into the white the german capital now has a commissioner for wild animals and his primary job is to be is going to conflict
5:40 am
between humans and the city is growing up in my life. a wild boar strolling through berlin. we're not deep in the forest but in a large park where thousands of people are out and about they don't appear to be frightened of us. still the boers keep their distance dickie laughed as the city's point man for wild animals people often call them when they see a boar in the garden or a retcon on the roof he knows where the various species like to hang out locals out for a walk tend to take the company in their stride. while the poor have been here for ages since i was a kid. when he got to know how to deal with them. coming towards me i walked towards them and they scatter. company but no end of it where i live in the suburbs where used to them i used to run with the boys on my way home now but they still
5:41 am
make me a bit nervous. so there are probably between two and four thousand and berlin. several other species also feel right at home in the city. these are species that have got used to us and have adopted this is there are various reasons first the physical environment in the country intensive farming deprives them of their habitat or here they can reproduce with abandon. second in the city they are hunters. on the other side of berlin and the tear practising to live on battle is looking for hedgehog nast's he's a biologist at the likeness institute for a zoo and wildlife research. going to home. when he.
5:42 am
made use of this tree trunk but he's not here at least. not in the third nest. hedgehogs go out at night and sleep all day but as we've just seen not always in the same place. there are more hedgehogs in cities than in the country that's because our gardens and parks offer great natural habitats. the project he's working on is about how hedgehogs bats bores raccoons and other wild animals live in cities. not the ones in zuma enclosures but those living free. i mean is this large it's in for one of our aims is to inform the public about the animals that might be living in their gardens and to encourage them to leave the creatures a little space and leave gaps in their fences so animals can come and go. that we can that's important if certain species are to survive what many people don't
5:43 am
realize is that because we've deprived so many species of their natural habitats their numbers are declining. back to the park where we met the wild boar in the middle there's a large lake. and it's not just humans who like to chill on it shores. wars aren't known to be keen swimmers but they are hugo consumers of crisps and cookies. run their governesses i like i really how come. have a look and as i says not tradition it is really interesting to see the animals in the city but always happens always great to be able to show them to my son but we all know about the downside to that breed fast they roam it in the garbage and they can spread disease. and stuff on the floor and it was her idea also works with the
5:44 am
public that's really important because people need to do their part to enable the peaceful coexistence of humans and animals in the big city because africa is was even done in africa other animals say want hogs or elephants move into towns and villages and cause a commotion. australia has similar problems he said it will be initial we have to engage with both the supporters on the critics and having animals in our midst and we have to find a way to live with animals it can't be right to simply fight them off which many cities have blossomed into hubs of biodiversity it's often in the urban jungle that wild animals find what they need to survive and even to thrive. let's shift focus to one of the most urgent problems of the twenty first century india stop an emissions are still very low at one point eight percent compared to
