are you hearing me on the part of small groups who shout louder than others and profit from a lack of interest among reason to believe. in conspiracy theories can provide comfort you don't like reality create another source of the. film about knowledge and belief trust and deception democracy of the gullible stories joy 1st on g.w. . the world has been locked up for the last many weeks because of cord 90 in india even though the national law dummy have been east over 900 for the numbers are still scheduled. for the last 10 during the lockdown mitchell 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 relegated to pig 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 here in mumbai. show me other pride of. this year with reduced human activity due to the lockdown exploits of the bombay natural history society that their numbers might have increased by 25 percent year on year the society has been conducting an important exercise to find out how and why for me. by 2 late autumn and early spring.

for. a witness is one of the greatest natural spectacles on earth when powers 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 1980s. 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. land served up a feast for the birds died off gas stations equity plants and blue green algae attract them annually from southern europe asia and the middle east. double 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. other banks east and west bank march 2000. recorded on. 4000 feet and will soar that is the high us so far from mumbai. mumbai is urban rush might seem. but the city hall is the 2nd largest population of flamingoes in india after the salt plains of the vest. flamingos are one of the few species whose numbers have actually increased on the toilet just call this phenomenon. very human interference in an ecosystem can

actually benefit my life. and the interference in tiny creek is enormous as it acts as a dumping ground for untreated domestic and industrial be used for a large part of the city to see which in turn promotes the growth of allergies on which the flamingos try. on a tautology. has been following these birds since they 1st arrived he believes that pile they are doing well at the moment the balance is a delicate one. so one of the reasons for that expansion of the flamingo in the moment a region along the creek may have been the refinery is themselves an hour long my will. which really is warm water so creeks may have been just polluted

as i say you know just sort of the effect of warmth is there in the waters because that is what is going to also go from being goes into huge numbers of patients over the weekend. 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 and the flamingos i mean readers and the flamingos and the other waiters so. primary point is saving the sites. over the last 2 years the fear nature'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 trails and tagging and bringing them for a population count the organization is currently studying close to 80 migrate 3 species that will help them build a case to predict where it lands. in . migration and we will include. that model in real. landscape. if we see this and. all these. all this was. 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 forwards and seen social media wild animal sightings in cities saying that they have returned 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 vidler life had been spotted across several centers in the world on lockdown. 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 minute's. wildlife experts say most of these birds and animals have existed in close proximity to other spaces for years while these videos claim that humpback dolphins only recently get it done 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 is not on your species that are coming out. it's people have started all doing them much more now they are you know like situation so it's basically become world no one but what you see was always did even people who don't. you know sign off on dimes

a few fake videos also turned up in the mix one post circulated widely on social media claiming blue whales were also for looking 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 they are going to go well guarded lot of us. and then there is and then when you see a world outside over you or the animal walking on the street really. kind of a lot it goes but you know everybody knows this is happening because your photos. over social media post is often counterproductive and undermines genuine knowledge

about the environment the long gone put the brakes on a frantic pace of living returning peace and fresh air to all cities but biodiversity needs more than a few weeks to recover and figure to use the kind of deceptions 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 on the streets species have become crowded together they've been forced to create a contact with humans some even porch and sword in. exports see this not surpass but that creates conditions for new viruses and so just call that 90 in twilight's. wild animals in cages many of them injured and weak it's filthy and cramped 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 in animals. and zoonotic diseases can be dangerous because the pathogen can develop new capabilities and its new host the new host has no immunity so infection can often

lead to serious disease and. the current a virus pandemic has thrust these wild animal markets into the spotlight around the world many are calling for a total pound. the animals are sold not just for food for private households some species assault to make traditional medicines or aphrodesiac others and 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 ban the commercial trade in wild animals nobody of the viruses don't really make that distinction. you know. a lot of the 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 countries are having well that right in this very connected world we live in 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 and that china has now temporarily the trade and consumption of wild animals. but as long as the worldwide market exists the threat of new viruses will continue well it's great the dissing the animals who have it with

us those animals who may not always come out and give your pens in the middle of traffic or huge crowds but of capitalists but it's home to house and of white cats and since the last year they've been very busy with an imported 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 name your. 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 reds a way from your house. lisbon authorities are keen to build up a copy troll but rounding up the city's feral cat colonies is anything but easy. this attempt fails. and her team make another attempt ideally they'd like to catch the entire colony cats make sense so it's usually much easier to relocate a colony if you put friends together cats that usually sleep together play together. rather. then if you do it individually. lisbon is home to thousands of cat colonies. 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 it 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. skin which domesticated 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. in egypt physical danger

or in all didn't need to be kicked the feedback has been almost bellamy and his dialogue is highly request. so that you're not 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 you deal with and the animals that started coming in to us we stream the 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 really needed attention. besides the daily veterinary work dr gangly 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 office consultations on the phone all through 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 are 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 her 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 a lot before 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 their clothes vet and based on where they are in the country i suggest a clinic. should go to that's closest to them. some cases just cannot be tended to remotely like these 2 elephants on the outskirts of bangalore the doctor colombia 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. 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 a therapy once a week just

a big get of the inflammation around her 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 the remote treatment that many doctors and vets are now trying out combined with actual visits these new methods get done out to be beneficial and more efficient in a post 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 but in southern europe in portugal families have found a very natural be to prevent these fights with the help of. goats. here in the portuguese mountains near 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 of that. and that's it 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 have been maintained using expensive machines. with a go through can actually do the same job and. bring some some value and some of avellino ray go to has switched careers to help prevent 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. more what are. all my. 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 try to do the things i am calm playings that others aren't doing.

he aims to show that marrow naser a traditional domestic breed of mountain cattle can also prevent fires because they too eat grass and shrubs. montas and 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 they don't know 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 are 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 are far less should live. your life we'll see you again next week until they're safe and good care of yourself and your.
