1st girl to get over. to the real. welcome to global 3000. this week we meet south african safari top rates 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 thai tourist sector and how

healthy is that town and. humans have been exploiting animals for many many hours. 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 animals used for human entertainment 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 all to provide entertainment for tourists and. as part of our global ideas series our reporter felix moore 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 all their stories. yet up. until just a few years ago this elephant worked in a nearby riding camp is 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 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 and able her to buy up animals who have 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 disturb a friend their death be yours the money to come and the cameras gear 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 china says this has done little to change the taming practice known as elephant crushing. and that now is the plan for them to do with the whole. there is a lot of the brush breeding everywhere. the baby i call bravely you can see the blood when i work. i have the will i have the totem pretend that i had ordered i don't care why i don't get better i don't get that from there. but up

a lot of how my cry i cry with a lot of disappointed about human. eye angry angry bit. read the paper that is. that. she day. 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 chandler's foundation and asked for help as hardly any tourists are coming to ride the elephants to the coronavirus pandemic. an 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. on

a 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 i had them ik we had to close the camp for months. but we're gardeners 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 on to the trucks they say that for safety reasons we must keep our distance. they're not really easy to go on the truck because when they put in the truck is mean that life would be 10 again. experience reading . the prius and there might be

a beautiful one for you. so now they think they would take them somewhere 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 stomachs. 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 in the early afternoon. lap. 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 the time when we

transform. it was stopped and they've broken the frame i'm told a frame to the roll and they'd be if they keep carry on david keep all the talk. after about an hour the problem is fixed and the adventure can continue. the elephants now seem somewhat more relaxed. than rescuers new just want to do to calm them down. listen to. it i'm hungry and. i think the journey old 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 learned has hardly slept but nothing can dampen her mood. all they have because the. elephant angry so yeah. i feel believe. that once the restraining bars have been removed it's time for the elephants to take their 1st cautious steps into a new life. 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 frees the animals from all their ropes and chains. so beautiful.

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. oh. nothing. to hide. it. city's crowded beaches restaurants busting at the seams this is how many of the world's tourist hot spots looked. that was $1500000000.00 tourists worldwide in 2019 this year it will be less than half that says the u.n. well it's still reasonable and i say should some countries have reopened for business but visitors are returning at least. capri is known as the island of the rich and beautiful now visitors are slowly returning italy has been hit hard by the coronavirus the lockdown was long and tough italians are glad to be

able to travel again. something with that 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 milan 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 is really airborne a quarter and famous for its homemade ice cream and other sweet treats at this time of year there are normally be long lines outside the shop giovanna born of 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 say they thought 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 and then gradually we made a little more and things got a bit better they only gentlemen can will get you. 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 those brother mario bakes all the pastries and cakes he and his team pride them. 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 recall and the yellow cream. this is a lot and these here are another specialty with nuts. with hazel nuts. as it moves. with almonds.

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 mario 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 the square are open. they were starting their businesses and it feels almost like

a normal summer's day to get been said. 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 parker audio are both fisherman during the whole. they 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 man can be seen there not all their friends gennaro is out in his rowboat with a couple of tourists on board. i've got to get out 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 2 off but it's ok we'll do anything for a copy. of the negotiation become about what you're going. to do 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 me after called 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. so we'll be here to take the siegel's for example we almost had a problem with them because they had adapted to people now they've returned to

their natural habitat and aren't feeding on landed anymore but back out at sea. this path leads down to a popular beach that's normally thronged in summer the many visitors have left scars on the landscape. full of a difficult look at all the couples who've written their names here with you get an idea of how many people we normally see here in. the coronavirus crisis has given compre 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 coronavirus 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 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 see. the soft and after the cold. the mornings warning the sun's family come on come up to the northern parts of the reserve. with their cameras alister lawyer and neil jennings capture the magic of the wilderness . for those who would normally sit in the back of the us a far reaching. these

animals become instant celebrities straight away people in america or the u.k. or europe actually know who the lip of the lines maybe they kneel and i do sometimes really not short of a lip that we posted on one of these on these pages and people that have never been to africa maybe even been to. tell us that if that's. what they see today is a highlight even for the most experienced safari guide a leopard on the prowl. he set his sights on to mail in parlors. there 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 and 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 upright of lions with cups. back at the lodge where the guests usually sleep kneel and alister at their videos . 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. nearby who want. to harm you got some really good news. no. more no. fear of. the law is now empty because the coronavirus. guests and i are longer allowed to

spend the night. on summers obsoletes the locals can still go on safari 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 life. for the workers on. the safari it's a matter of survival of. the on site but donates me to them i wanted it to be for you and james to sherry and his wife have what's on the farm for a long time. but now that there are no guests there's nothing for them to do you. know going to neutral now and no that is a problem no they don't just drop us good just for the day's pay but whatever

the future more there is nothing. that donated meat was sourced from the results on the most. they were trying to do is to at least do some culling of animals so that we can. make that meter for the both just off and also to ourselves has been trained. good news still there but you know it's a difficult times but you throw in 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 game you know he's not to show this this this to guests and hopefully

when you look down the gates will be that at the moment it has been good spending time with with neil and sharing it with him. just to keep getting virtual safaris for the time being. they hope that by doing so at least the lodge weren't seeing be forgotten. while south africa's wildlife reserve speaking the await the return of visitors the pandemic has left all those stranded abroad phone from home including some young scientists on the german island of hell a go down. 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 pagan or 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. this christmas are developing fast and it might be out of control and they may i dread may be 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. in the private market maybe. people and it will depend on how government structure and

are going up and how things are going there for the time being i'm carrying on with such activity to do term and we hope that when the flights get back and i'm able to trevor agree to 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 on the lockdown completely because. because the case is so vast 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 that i want to be

a good scientist. so that i can protect a major because i grew up very close i'm a joke and i have seen. it being destroyed and the more i know about it through science the more i can help protect it so since 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. they can there always was good of you than you could ever be. the ocean august the center of 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 mass transit here. there are 6 young researchers who haven't been able to return home to this of course they all want their children . 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 are being it sounds pretty camped there we hope that when the time to make our we're able to go back to our country is a myth to our families and spend a good time. even though they're enjoying their stay and heligoland their homesickness remains.
