and we find out about the plight of elephants in the thai tourist sector and how help is that tanned. humans have been exploiting animals for men then yeah. a shocking 90 percent of all mammals alive today are being raised for human consumption. most of these animals are kept in conditions which don't take their basic needs into account. unfortunately that's also true for the most used for human and to 10 meant as pets in some zoos circuses or amusement parks at least 15000 elephants worldwide live in captivity in asia many of them are used as working animals or to provide entertainment for tourists. as part of our global ideas series our reporter félix noah

and his team went to northern thailand to meet a woman providing refuge for elephants. just one look and she knows exactly which elephant is which she now has 80 of them each one has suffered lect child learn knows all their stories. until just a few years ago this elephant worked in a nearby writing camp as the conservationist explains he had to carry tourists around every day if he didn't obey his trainer would pierce's thick skin with a bull hook the thai activist has been working to protect elephants for 25 years. with her foundation she aims to improve the lives of the packet durham's donations and able her to buy up animals who've suffered especially harsh treatment most of the elephants have spent decades being ridden or in showbiz but in china elephant

nature park they no longer have to work or be in chains paying guests are allowed to watch the elephants but nothing more. people come and visit they don't disturb a friend they just watch and be you as the money to come and become great deal more and more. again and again like china learned has exposed animal abuse using a hidden camera for centuries wild elephants have been subjected to prolonged violent taming methods now there are laws in thailand that prohibit animal cruelty . but charlie says this has done little to change the taming practice known as elephant crushing. the thai everything that now is the body in the us the hope. is that a lot of the bra reading everywhere. of the baby are called bravely you can see the blood when i walk. i have the will i have to tell them

pretend that i had ordered i don't care why i don't get that i don't get that from there. but up that come out of how i cry i cry would a lot of disappointed about here when. i angry angry rip read the paper that is a part of that. shooting. and her team are once again on a rescue mission this time the conservationists will collect 7 elephants from this writing camp southwest of bangkok and bring them to the reserve near chain mind the camp owners themselves contacted chandler's foundation and asked for help as hardly any tourists are coming to ride the elephants due to the coronavirus pandemic. and adult elephant is usually worth about $2000000.00 baht or more than $50000.00 euros but due to the pandemic the animals have become more of

a burden for their owners. it costs them nearly a $1000.00 euros a month for food and care. the final part kyra is happy to at least get $1000000.00 baht per elephant from china its foundation. our situation has been dire since the start of the pandemic we had to close the camp from a month before but regardless of whether we're open or closed we still have to take care of the elephants and we need to feed them every day. we were allowed to reopen on july 1st but there are simply no visitors. that might make it. the camp owner and his elephant tamers don't want us to look too closely as the animals are loaded onto the trucks they say that fixing the reasons we must keep our distance. not really easy to go under because.

what in the truck is mean that life would be 10 again. experience many. of the players. there might be a beautiful one player. so now that. they would take them somewhere it is they're not quite sure. before setting off the elephants must be fixed into place on the platforms each animal gets its own frame made of bamboo stocks. the elephants and their rescuers have a journey of about 800 kilometers ahead of them. the team has never transported so many animals at once over such a long distance. the convoy sets off and the early afternoon. after less than half an hour the vehicles have to make a stop. one of the elephants went into

a rampage on the truck bed and destroyed the restraining bars holding it in place now they have a major repair job on their hands many up. no was this is all. there was to the embers and they've broken the frame and told the frame to the roll and. it became apparent on the top. after about an hour the problem is fixed and the adventure can continue. the elephants now seem somewhat more relaxed. than rescuers knew just what to do to calm them down. as well as the field. that i'm hungry and no one. made. the journey older kids and.

the rest of the journey doesn't go smoothly. but cool dusk is refreshing for both the elephants and their rescuers. the next morning after a nearly 20 hour drive the convoy reaches its destination the elephant nature park north of chainline the team is exhausted lurd has hardly slept but nothing can dampen her mood. all they have. spliced elephant so yeah right. i feel believe. once that restraining bars have been removed it's time for the elephants to take their 1st cautious steps into a new life. one. look at the newcomers will have to be isolated from the rest of the herd for 2 weeks in order to prevent the possible spread of disease. the rescuers freeze the

animals from all their ropes and chains. you know much so beautiful. lecture i learned has provided a new home for well over 100 elephants a home where there are no longer forced to put on a show where they can simply be elephants. so. i call it. packed cities crowded beaches restaurants busting at the seams this is how many of the well tourist hot spots looked last year that were $1500000000.00 tourists worldwide in 2019 this year it will be less than half that says the u.n. well it's still raising organization some countries have reopened for business spent visitors are returning at least slowly. capri is known as the island of the

rich and beautiful now visitors are slowly returning italy's been hit hard by the coronavirus the lockdown was long and tough italians are glad to be able to travel again. some of it i can with my friends we haven't seen each other for ages it'll be great that whatever i feel safe again i've come from a long and i'm looking forward to a beautiful weekend with sun and see. the huge crowds of recent years have yet to return the stunning beauty of coppery can now be enjoyed by the few along with the exclusive shopping boulevards. in the center of copper a town this july chilly air borne of corduroy famous for its homemade ice cream and other sweet treats at this time of year there are normally be long lines outside the shop job on that one accordion her family were among the 1st to reopen when the lockdown ended in may but the regulations were so strict that hardly anyone came.

up with on to. the. we had to throw away a lot of ink the 1st 2 days back in may were a disaster astrophysical made the shamo a lot of muscle so then we just made small amounts each day then gradually we made a little more and things got a bit better but they only gentlemen can will be people. at the weekends business is almost back to normal italians have returned to the island in recent years they've been avoiding it because of the crowds of wealthy visitors from abroad. given his brother mario bakes all the pastries and cakes he and his team pride themselves on making everything by hand using many local ingredients it's important because this is the taste of coffee the flavor of our lemons the fresh recalled and the yellow cream. this is a lot and these here are another specialty with nuts. with hazelnuts.

as a move. with all men's. so far sales have only reached 10 to 15 percent of last year's figures out of their 22 employees only 9 are working right now. during the week we're still missing the germans the americans the russians it's very different this year. no doubt they're missing your pastries too. yes i'm sure we'll get back to normal at some stage we just need to carry on. cup 3 went into complete lockdown earlier this year when the coronavirus hit italy so badly for weeks no visitors were allowed anyone still on the island was stuck here. mayor marino lembo tells us the island had very few cases of the virus he orders

a cautious restart with many safety restrictions. all the bars of this square are open. they were starting their businesses and it feels almost like a normal summer's day to get been saying i thought that i think this has taught people to appreciate what we have here in italy that the beauty that we no longer noticed because it was so crowded that. if the mayor gets his way things won't return to the same levels of tourism seen in recent years he's even talking about setting up marine reserve areas. giovanni anastasio and luigi picker audio or both fisherman during the holiday season they normally take tourists out for trips along the coast to earn some extra income the highlight of any visit to coppery is the blue grotto which is only recently reopened expensive yachts would normally be jostling for space here now only the occasional one can be seen not all

their friends gennaro is out in his rowboat with a couple of tourists on board but. i've got to get out we're open for visitors but business isn't great where we normally have 2000 people a day now we only have 200. 1 the other we used to be allowed 4 people on the board and now we can only take 2. but it's ok we'll do anything for a copy. and it was becoming a job but you don't like. it when the fishermen show us their catch they're a lot more enthusiastic the water is much clearer than it would normally be in summer. nobody called after call the 19 we started getting a lot more fish because the waters were quieter cleaner there were fewer boats to frighten away the fish so they came closer to the coast which you know like all. nature here has recovered somewhat now that most of the tourists and boats have disappeared. would be here to take the siegel's

for example we almost had a problem. what them because they had adapted to people now they returned to their natural habitat and aren't feeding on land it anymore but back out at sea so. this path leads down to a popular beach that's normally throned in summer the many visitors have left scars on the landscape. people from a bit of a boat look at all the couples who've written their names here you get an idea of how many people we normally see here in the video this is. the coronavirus crisis has given car pretty time to rest and recuperate yet tourism provides a vital source of income it's a difficult balancing act but at that magical time when the sun sets it's easier to forget the problems and just enjoy the natural beauty. with more than half

a 1000000 official corona virus infections south africa is the worst affected of all african countries that's despite the government swiftly introducing a strict lock down stay at home orders bans on the sale of alcohol and tobacco and widespread travel restrictions now its economy is paying the price unemployment has risen to a record high around a 3rd of south africans are now officially out of work as tourism has been particularly badly hit. this expanse of bush has never seen so few visitors. today these 2 have it all to themselves as far as the eye can say you know afternoon everyone else the soft and after a cold misty the morning this morning the sun's finally come on come up to the northern parts of the reserve. with the cameras alister lawyer neil jennings capture the magic of the wilderness. for those who would normally sit in the back

that's a far reaching. move. these animals become instant celebrities straight away people in america or the u.k. or europe. maybe they. sometimes we not posted on one of these on these pages and people that have never been to africa never even been to. tell us that it's. what they see today is a highlight even for the most experienced safari guides a leopard on the prowl. he set his sights on 2 male impalas. who are so engrossed in that battle that they don't even notice the impending danger. but the females in the herd do and they sound the alarm. in the end it gives up.

i mean terrorism is a bitch to come to a halt so we are very very worried he doesn't bring in anybody we do it just because because we love it. and this was just a way to try to soften it a bit you know just. today seems to be that lucky day. just before darkness falls they encounter a pride of lions with cups and. history. but at the launch where the guests usually sleep kneeling at the video. they release a new episode almost every day and viewers can give them feedback ran across. today they get a video call from brian now the regular guest at the reserve. really good news. no morning coffee

break. just now empty because the coronavirus. guests are no longer allowed to spend the night. with one summer's obsoletes the locals can still go on safari be it in their own vehicles. but the reserves can only make enough money with overnight guests especially international ones. most of the employees have been laid off thousands of south african families work in the tourism sector and the lack of gas threatens their livelihoods. for the workers on the safari it's a matter of survival. of the on site but she donates me to them i wanted to for you. james the cherie and his wife have worked on the farm for a long time. but now that there are no guests there's nothing for

them to do you. know going and which was now acknowledged that is a problem no they don't just drop us good just for the days. but what about the future more. the donated meat was sourced from the research done about. the time they were trying to do is to at least do some culling of animals so that we. might that meter available to us. and also to our stuff that's been trained. good news still there but you know it's a difficult times but it's a system. packed in the stuff. they've come across yet another great spot some very red wild dogs. south african tourism lives from

attractions like these but it's uncertain how the sector can survive. we obviously missed the gates you know it is not to show this this this to gates and hopefully when you look down in las vegas will be yes but at the moment it has been good spending time with with neil and sharing it with him. the 2 will keep giving virtual safaris for the time being. they hope that by doing so at least their large weren't seeing be forgotten. while south africa's wildlife reserve speedily await the return of visitors the pandemic has left others stranded a brawl with foam from home including some young scientists on the german island of hell ago now. stranded on the island. these 2 young scientists have been hoping to return to their home countries of india and kenya for weeks but the coronavirus pandemic has thwarted their travel plans

i feel a little sad that i can't be home yet as it's been all quite some time that i've seen my family and india the 2 marine biologists were both awarded scholarships by the alfred begun our institute for polar and marine research. gabriela coco is interested in climate change he's researching how marine plants absorb c o 2 and how that might help mitigate the impact of climate change he's investigating how noise affects plankton. but he often thinks about his family's situation in kenya it's a sign that. this christmas are developing fast and it might be out of control and they may address maybe me i swear i suffer from a pandemic. gabriella coco stays in touch with his family in kenya online he's been in germany for about

a year. his life home has already been cancelled 3 times. helping. people and it really depends on how. they're going up on how things are in there for the time being i'm carrying on with such activity. and we hope that when the flights get back that i'm a water target agrees a chatter g. is in the same situation the longer she stays in heligoland the more frequently she thinks about her home city of siliguri and northeastern india i am very worried when i think about india in this situation my hometown has been put back under lockdown completely because. because the cases was so fast and so high and. that there weren't any more facilities available in the hospitals to accommodate the people it's just scary. but as long as she can't go back she'll

continue her research and helical and i want to be a good scientist. so that i can protect our nature because i grew up very close to nature and i have seen. it being destroyed and the more i know about it through science the more i can have protected source so she's especially interested in protecting sharks in the indian ocean so interesting because they have always been portrayed. this monster as. from movies and everything and people are always terrified of them that as extremely gentle creatures and. they can they're always more scared of you than you could ever be or that the oceanography center that eventually became part of the alpha beginner institute was founded on how to go in and 130 years ago since then scientists have

been coming from all over the world to work here. the 2 aren't the only research scholars at the institute has stranded here. there are 6 young researchers who haven't been able to return home to this most of course they all want their children home given the coronavirus situation in some of their home countries the families are quite happy to see the children stay here a bit longer. other than this up popular vacation destination. it's known for its beautiful nature which the young students here also enjoy. yeah the program was good we were able to run a lot of our garbage sounds pretty kim to do there we hope that when the pandemic are we are able to go back to our countries a minute our families are spared good times. even though they're enjoying their stay in the helical and their home sickness remains.
