and oddly trying to come straight from. the rush into maturity to do storage to maintain the d.w. . the world has been locked up for the last many weeks because of called 900 in india even though the national not done me have been east covered 900 was a day of numbers are still steady increase for the last 10 during the lockdown nature has stepped in to what was only a few months back up on creek jungle like in many parts of the world wild animals

often rarely get to pick forests came into cities is this pandemic teaching us coexistence or is it warning us that's what we talk about to be how long welcome this is equal india and i'm sunk that i'm coming to you from my makeshift home studio in mumbai. show me other pride of. this year with reduced human activity due to the lockdown experts of the bombay natural history society believe that their numbers might have increased by 25 percent year on year the society has been conducting an important research exercise to find out how and why for me. by 2 late autumn and early spic. mumbai witness is one of the greatest natural spectacles on earth wind power of

breeding flamingos descend on its creeks. earlier this year their numbers were some of the highest ever recorded since they began arriving in the 1980 s. . this is where the birds were given an extra treat india impose its own coronavirus logged on and most humans disappeared from the breeding grounds. locals could get no closer than their balcony as parties vet land served up a feast for the birds died off crustaceans plants and blue green algae attract them annually from southern europe asia and the middle east. caught works with the bomb in natural history society and is heading a 10 year long monitoring project. since last 2 years.

removed from all these. banks east and west bank march 2009 we recorded all. $4000.00 flame will soar that is the high us so far from mumbai. mumbai urban rush might seem. but the city hall is the 2nd largest population of flamingoes in india after the salt plains of the veriest. flamingos are one of the few species whose numbers have actually increased on a toilet just call this phenomenon. very human interference in an ecosystem can actually benefit right. and the interference in

tiny creek is enormous as it acts as a dumping ground for untreated domestic and industrial waste for a large part of the city the sea which in turn promotes the growth of alligator on which the flamingos try. on a tautology. has been following these birds since they 1st arrived he believes that by and they are doing well at the moment the balance is a delicate one. so one of the reasons for that the expansion of the flamingo in the memory region along the tiny creek may have been the refineries themselves in our long my will. which really is warm water so creeks may have been just. as i say you know just sort of the perfect warmth is there in the waters because that is what is going to also go from ingo's in the huge numbers

of. the weed. also congregating. researchers have found that under the long down the birds thrived on humans withdrew and they had to have adapted themselves but the able increasing pollution is a problem not so easily dealt with and could easily tip the scales against the flamingos. completely disappeared and right i mean there's nothing left for the readers under flamingos i mean doesn't the flamingos on the other waiters so. primary point is saving the sites. over the last 2 years to be n.h.s. has been looking at building a knowledge base for these and other migratory birds a long term study to define their behavioral trends. from studying them in their habitat to creating awareness tribes and tagging and

bringing them for a population count the organization is currently studying close to 80 migratory species that will help them build a case to protect the great land. migration . that the modeline real. landscape. if you see this and. all these. all this was wrecked and more. than. the vast numbers of birds serve as a reminder of a time when nature was truly in charge here if the right steps are taken to understand why life and protect habitat hopefully the flamingos will continue to

return in the same numbers long into the future. all through a lot after sea forwards social media wild animal sightings in cities mainly that they have turned because of less pollution less noise and fewer people how true is that we try to get to the core of these observations. with humans remaining self isolated in their homes several videos like this twitter post flooded the internet even making international headlines a range of vide life had been spotted across several centers in the world and on good luck down. but have these animals suddenly bounced back to reclaim their lost habitats as many viral videos insist.

the answer is it quickly underwhelming. the heartening sentiment that nature is reclaiming its spaces is sadly a myth. wildlife experts say most of these birds and animals have existed in close proximity to open spaces for years while these board over to use claimed that humpback dolphins only recently to tend to mumbai's waters they have actually been documented here for the last 15 to 20 years people who would know why life people who enjoy looking at animals they will be seeing them there's no new species that are coming. it's not the people have started all doing them much more now they are you know like situations where it's basically become world no one but what you see was always did even people with a long. enough final 4 times a few fake videos also turned up in the mix one post circulated widely on social

media claiming blue whales were also frolicking in the crystal blue waters off the coast of mumbai soon after it was debunked. so why do people keep falling for misinformation about animals especially during a time of crisis. people 1st of all complain. lot of us. and then there is and then when the seal board outside over you or the animal walking on the street really. kind of a lot of respect you know everybody knows this is happening because your photos. over social media pulls this off and counterproductive and undermines genuine knowledge about the environment the lock down put the breaks from the base of living returning peace and fresh air to all cities. biodiversity needs more than

a few weeks to go and fake videos to spread kind of deception only serve to distract from the very real consequences of environmental destruction. to the steady destruction of white life habitat humans have been putting animals under stress species have become crowded together they've been forced to come into contact with humans. even watched and sorted in. exports see this not surpass that creates conditions for you and this season so just call that 90 twilights. wild animals in cages many of them injured and weak it's filthy ancram it's in the animals or in close contact with humans. the corona virus may have started to spread in an animal market like this is the perfect breeding

ground for new diseases. markets like this provide an opportunity for pathogens to make the leap from one species to another. in the process the pathogen can develop characteristics that make it easier to spread to a 3rd species in this case to humans. experts have long been warning that the trade in wild animals could be a ticking time bomb more than 2 thirds of infectious diseases that affect humans originating wildlife those include deadly diseases such as the ebola virus sars and hiv aids scientists call such diseases zoonotic because they originate an animal's . zoonotic diseases can be dangerous because the pathogen can develop new capabilities in its new host the new host has no immunity so infection can often lead to serious disease and. the growing a virus pandemic has thrust these wild animal markets into the spotlight around the

world many are calling for a total down. the animals are sold not just for food for private households some species assault to make traditional medicines or aphrodisiacs others and this pricey delicacies on restaurant menus animal protection activists like these in vietnam say that the only way to reduce the risk of pandemics is to pound the commercial trade in wild animals like the woody of the viruses don't really make a distinction. you know a lot higher trade chain they don't make that distinction which whether their trade is legal or illegal whether their training is for meat for of thought for medicine or as exotic pets. activists agree the desire for an exotic pet is part of the problem there's a flourishing illegal online trade in them especially involving reptiles. that

wild animals are also sold online illegally they pose the highest risk for transmitting viruses to humans. all of the country's art having well that right in this very world we live and so now more than any time. more than any other time we need to unite all of the countries need to be united to address while that crime which is the rule of. china has now temporarily banned the trade and consumption of wild animals. but as long as the worldwide market exists the threat of new viruses will continue while it's great the dissing the animals who have it with us those animals who may not always come out into the organs in the middle of traffic or huge crowds but of capitalism is home to power zones of white cats

and since the last year they've been very busy with an important stock it had. they proles through the streets in silent pursuit of their prey. lisbon's cats are helping sort out the city's rodent problems. some 6000000 rats live here and the feline forces are out to get them. and to r.j. and her colleagues from the organization animals on the street go around picking up feral cats. then they relocate them in places where the rat plague is at its most severe. with cats. so the smell of the cats keeps the rats away from the surface so it's a good thing for them to do you give them a home and in exchange they keep the red so way from your house. that lisbon

authorities are keen to build up the capital that rounding up the city's feral cat colonies is anything but easy. for this attempt fails. and her team make another attempt ideally they'd like to catch the entire colony. that's makes sense so usually much easier to relocate a colony if you put friends together. usually sleep together play together. brothers all sisters and then if you do it individually. lisbon is home to thousands of cat colonies. lisbon's ombudsman for animal rights. she's one of the initiators of the rat control program. the cats when. people win and of course the rats win as well because this is

unethical way to control rats in the city well redskin of course being afraid of cats and they just disappear from the places where they are seen success one cat is trapped. it panics that has no idea that this will work out well. these cats are pioneers so to speak a lot is expected from them. but they're taking it easy as the hunt begins. with domestic eating animals vet movie doctor in bangalore has come up with a much needed solution during the lockdown has introduced a remote support service to help parents who are in egypt physical danger or in all didn't need to read the feedback has been almost bellamy dialup service

is highly request. surrounded not ganguly is treating one of the 70 plus patients at a trauma center for animals in bangalore. the number of critical cases coming into the clinic has soared since the destructions due to the cause in 1000 crisis began. the biggest issue with the with the lockdown and sea anemones was that a lot of people went back home and there was obviously restriction on travel so we couldn't attend as many cases as we normally do so the number of animals that received attention from us was we deal with and the animals that started coming into us weeks dreamy critical you know animals that are really in a terrible way so i think that the the worst ways to animals were affected was that they did not get enough attention at the early stages of their illnesses or you know when the if you only needed attention. besides the daily veterinary work dr

ganguly and her husband shanta knew columbia realized during the lockdown that other services were necessary so. they set up the wolf wagon a service that offers consultations on the phone all to video calls for those who cannot access proper help for strays octet. begin and a lot of places which have no access to vets we have small towns and villages where there are government vets but they aren't very good with small animals and so we started getting a lot of calls from the small towns so when we started up we looked. we started up with a very reasonable place where people from anywhere in the country could call and get information. a month into the service dr colombia receives 20 calls a day including some from the most remote parts of india. they are now planning to go big go and rope in more vets as the lockdown has made them realize how much help

they can offer even without physically being present. i don't think the limit telemedicine has been really explored within the country much and so. it's it's a very new model the scratch your back. and kind of up your hands down the spine some clients now regularly seek advice my video call to ensure the aging dogs are comfortable all without the need to leave the house. right. so.

when we differ not perform the 1st thing i ask is whether it's an emergency or not because. we don't treat emergencies over the phone so i recommend they go to very close it's very good and based on where they are in the country i suggest a clinic. should go to the closest to them. some cases just cannot be tended to demote like these 2 elephants on the outskirts of bangalore the doctor columbia has been treating for almost 5 years he's continued to visit them taking the necessary precautions and gaining special permission to travel. she has a lot of problems like arthritis and these abscess is a critical. one because she had an accident when she was much younger and such can't bend her front legs at all so she gets laser therapy once a week just to take care of the inflammation around those the knees and. elbows and . it's something that's going to be

a lifelong treatment. animals around the country are getting a little bit of relief thanks to demote treatment that many doctors and vets are now trying out combined with actual visits these new methods could turn out to be beneficial and more efficient in a post school that was to. wildfires are one of the devastating effects of droughts due to climate change many parts of the world are hit by fire every summer like in southern europe in portugal found myself found a very that should be to prevent these fights with the help of locally. here in the portuguese mountains near co remember these goats are playing a vital part in preventing forest fires. 80 animals feed on greenery to create natural fire breaks by eating away the brush which catches fire easily. i'm

proud of their job and the job are there to be there with them and. i think that they can be part of the solution for the the forest fires. he remembers the last big blaze in 2017 the flames destroyed vast areas of local forest and half a 1000000 hectares across the country more than ever before. back then luis was working as a building contractor after losing his warehouse and machines to the flames he reinvented his life. today the 40 year old is a goat herder just like his grandfather before him. because most local landowners have moved away there's nobody to clear away grass and shrubbery which act as a fire excel and in the summer until now fire breaks had been maintained using expensive machines. with

a go through can actually do the same job and. bring some some value and some occupation back to the country to be in the desert. for a few decades. avellino ray go to has switched careers to help. in forest fires he quit his job as an i.t. specialist and moved back to his parents in the mountains today the 35 year old works as a cattle farmer. we know of well more what are. all my time used to criticize what we do what we don't do for nature conservation and when i realize that i didn't do anything as well. i decided i need to to try to do some the things i am calm playings that others aren't doing

. he aims to show that merrill needs a traditional domestic breed of mountain cattle can also prevent fires because they too eat grass and shrubs. montas a nature conservation association which avellino rego belongs to because even purchased land itself pruning should help these young oak trees to grow big and strong. less grass will grow under the shade they'll provide meaning less flammable material probably there no they know that they will not take any money from that from the land but they are ready to adopt another management model so we are trying to demonstrate that with small money we can have a fire that's true but with a lot less damage. portugal is the european country most affected by forest fires in cooperation with fire department scientists at the university of koa

researching the causes of such fires. they say the country's climate monoculture tree plantations and rural depopulation all play a major role. if we don't manage our forests better we're likely to suffer even bigger fires in extreme weather conditions. particularly. portugal is searching for strategies to prevent wildfires from spreading in some cases that means returning to age old methods luis frontin year and his goats just the beginning. that's all we have for you today as we all come to grips with the effects of the novel coronavirus pandemic the answers to many of. your life we'll see you again next week until they're safe and big good care of yourself and your. it's.
