bark on arrows. leads to those living today. they are guarding gaza's past in a box. a legacy in black and white. collective memories starts of august 14th on d w. welcome to global 3000. this week we meet south african safari top greats is hoping online alternative school keeps them afloat. we check out the italian island of capri which after weeks of quiet is welcoming tourists again.

and we find out about the plight of elephants in the tiny tourist sector and how is the town and. humans have been exploiting animals for men that meow. 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 that basic means into account. unfortunately that's also true for the most used for human entertainment as pets in some zoos circuses store amusement parks at least 15000 elephants worldwide live in captivity in asia many of them are used as working animals 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. yet up. until just a few years ago this elephant worked in a nearby riding camp as the conservationist explains he had to carry tourists around every day if he didn't obey his trainer would pierce is thick skin with a bull hook the tie activist has been working to protect elephants for 25 years with her foundation she aims to improve the lives of the packet derms donations enable her to buy up animals who've suffered especially harsh treatment most of the elephants have spent decades being ridden or in showbusiness 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 have a friend their death be yours the money to come and the congress there are more and more. again and again like china lurd 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 china says this has done little to change the taming practice known as elephant crushing. and that now is the problem for them that you have the whole. lot of the brush breeding everywhere. the baby are bravely you can see the blood. when i work. i have the will i have the pretend that i had ordered i don't care

why i don't get better i don't get that. but up i come out of how my cry. i cried with a lot of disappointed about you know when. i angry angry rip read the paper that is. that. i should say. and her team are once again on a rescue mission. this time the conservationists will collect 7 elephants from this riding camp southwest of bangkok and bring them to the reserve near chain mind the camp owners themselves contacted china or its 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. john apart kyra is happy to at least get $1000000.00 baht per elephant from china or its foundation. our situation has been dire since the start of a pandemic we had to close the camp for 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 see the god of truck because what in the truck is mean that life would be 10 again. experience maybe. the

previous. day might be a beautiful prayer. so now that. we would take them somewhere this is the not quite . 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 that once over such a long distance. the convoy sets off in 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 of them. no was this is all. there was to. the broken the frame and the frame the roll. it became apparent on david over the top. after about an hour the problem is fixed and the adventure can continue. the elephants now seem somewhat more relaxed. the rescuers knew just what to do to calm them down. to eat. as long as. they know. that i'm hungry and no one. made. the journey older kids know.

the rest of the journey doesn't go smoothly. but 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 lecture i learnt has hardly slept but nothing can dampen her mood. all they have because the journey is quite strange elephant so yeah right of all my food. once the 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 they're no longer forced to put on a show where they can simply be elephants. packed cities crowded beaches restaurants busting at the seams this is how many of the world's tourist hot spots looked last year 1500000000 tourists worldwide in 2019 this year it will be less than half that says the u.n. well it's a tourism organization some countries have reopened for business but visitors are returning any saving. coppery 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. so again with the i can with my friends we haven't seen each other for ages it'll be great that's what 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 bill of rights. 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's normally be long lines outside the shop giovanna born to korea and her family were among the 1st to reopen when the lockdown ended in may but the regulations were so strict that hardly anyone came.

down to us and we had. to throw away a lot of ink the 1st few days back in may were a disaster astrophysical maybe the shamo must say then we just made small amounts each day and then gradually we made a little more and things got a bit better it only gentlemen came with the 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. to venice brother mario bakes all the pastries and cakes he and his team pride themselves on making everything by hand using many local ingredients is important because this is the taste of coffee the flavor of our lemons the fresh recall 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. coupling 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 mari know lembo tells us the island had very few cases of the virus he ordered a cautious restart with many safety restrictions. all the bars of this where are

open to meet up the. started their businesses and it feels almost like a normal summer's day yep and so you have 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 fishermen 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 of it we're open for

visitors but business isn't great where we normally had 2000 people a day now we only have 200 i got my job with one other we used to be allowed 4 people on the board and now we can only take to the office but it's ok we'll do anything for a copy. and it was become about what you call. 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 cover 19 we started getting a lot more fish because the waters were quieter cleaner the men up out there were fewer boats to frighten away the fish so they came closer to the coast you should know about all the. nature here has recovered somewhat now that most of the tourists and boats have disappeared. so to be

here to take this eagles for example we almost had a problem. 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. from a bit of a 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 coronavirus crisis has given car pre-term 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 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 as being 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 see the new narrowing. of the soft after the cold misty the mornings morning the sun's finally come out come up to the northern parts of the reserve. with their cameras alice the lawyer and neil jennings capture the magic of the wilderness. for those who would normally sit in the back of that's

a far reaching. move. these animals become instant celebrities straight away people in america or the u.k. or europe actually know who they live but the lines maybe they kneel and i do sometimes we not short of a lip that we posted on one of these on these pages and people that have never been to african maybe even. to try 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 to malin pilots. 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 the leopard gives up. i mean terrorism is we actually come to a halt so we are very very worried it doesn't ring 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 keep our boxing day. to day seems to be that lucky day. just before darkness falls they encounter a pride of lions with cups. back at the lodge where the guests usually sleep neil and alistair at that 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 a regular guest at the reserve. near like you want. the hard news really good news right forms no. more no morning coffee break.

the law is now empty because the coronavirus. guests are no longer allowed to spend the night. with one summer's absolutes the locals can still go on safari albeit in their own vehicles. but the reserves can only make enough money with overnight. 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 the life. for the workers on the safari it's a matter of survival. the on site but donates me to them i want to read for you about 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 really i mean well now i know that is

a problem no they're not doing their job yes good. but what about the future more there is nothing in. the donated meat was sourced from the results on a most. they were trying to do is to at least do some culling of animals so that we. might meter by the both just. and also to yourself has been trying. to at least tell them that you know it's a difficult times but it's there on the system. back to the island on a step. they've come across yet another great start 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 to show this this this to guests

and hopefully when you look down a nice guess will be yes but at the moment it has been good spending time with with meal and sharing it with him. the 2 you will keep giving factual safaris for the time being. they hope that by doing so at least the large weren't seem to be forgotten. while south africa's wildlife reserve speak of the await the return of visitors to the pandemic has left others stranded a brawl which far from home including some young scientists on the german island of heligoland. 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. it's been all quite some time that i've seen my family and i've been in there. 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 concern that. there's tremendous 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's 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 you are.

pregnant by. people and it really depends on how they're going up and how things are in there for the time being i'm kind of normal activity do term and we hope that when the flights get back and i'm able to travel a dream chatter gee isn't 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 on the lockdown completely because. because the case is so lost and so high and. that 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 that 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 to science the more i can have predicted so soon she's especially interested in protecting sharks in the indian ocean so interesting because they have always been portrayed. this monster. from movies and everything and people always terrified of them as extremely gentle creatures and. because there always was good you would than you could ever be. the oceanography center that eventually became part of the alfred begun an institute was founded on how to go down to 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 passed through but here. there are 6 young researchers who haven't been able to return home to this of course they all want their children at home given the coronavirus situation in some of their home countries the families are quite happy to see their children stay here a bit longer. than this a popular vacation destination. it's known for its beautiful nature which the young students here also enjoy. the program was good we were able to come a lot. it sounds good to come to do that we hope that when the pandemic are we are able to go back to our countries and meet our families and spend a good time. even though they're enjoying their stay and helical and their homesickness remains.
