it was 3. years later and the reasons are still unclear. the case will jump. start september 3rd. w.-o. . the carabine is a region remains of natural beauty and rich biodiversity. in this natural paradise is in jeopardy the scene is clogged with waste and many our lands are under threat from rising water levels. coral reefs are bleaching and fixed blankets of albion seen we need

a champion lisey's. animals and people are suffering. there is heart dedicated conservationists are fighting the effects of climate change the world we hear what every going to take care of it. trying to raise awareness about environmental issues mostly to do with making children fall in love with the wild. critters out is known for its beautiful beaches which store tourists from far and wide to the marine an island environment is also home to many wild animals. including bob a very special feeling got famous not only in cool south. but all over the world.

what it duz to and flamingo bob are inseparable the veterinarian came to bob's rescue when it flew into a hotel window and was seriously injured. they posted it there within 10 minutes i was in front of them like i am here for the flamingo and they were like. so you can no longer spread his left wing properly and his feet too to see if he would struggle to survive in the wild so it it took him in. when they asked me is name i was like oh yes flamingo now and then in a split 2nd i thought oh his name is flamingo bob i don't look up up on the web oh don't only look like a bob there oh the funny thing is the name that means like a flame and to be well know and now he's famous. nomen this right there. it's

a thursday. and on thursdays bulkheads after his new job as a wildlife ambassador to do. so this back and especially for him to. get hurt. today visiting a primary school. you know meanwhile bob is used to the passenger seat like when i'm with. her even if i walk in somewhere people do know that i'm coming in with bob though i'm not that reaction if you go so they think i just run around with a fake coming up next to me which is also fine. makes a grand entrance the children are thrilled. like your. thinking is that. optus. brief introductions to children get

a closer look. at the original march of their lives. now some of the children are hesitant more so than bob he by now has clocked up plenty of experience. ringback and it spent several months preparing for visits like goods. none of the children have ever been this close to or to mingle. and. they wanted them begins explaining the importance of protecting nature and animals. even a chance can't abandon dockside can spell death for flamingos in iran amongst. the who's name that's this is an island and once it's in nature it doesn't go away in a cute familiar like bug could get stuck in this. gulp is quite the hit.

shout. the message sticks. plastic isn't good for them all so if they die it's not ok. but it knows that moments like this can make a difference. when you have that reaction then you have the gateway to their heart with their shell shock you might still question their marriage the friends here. like some discussion what are we doing why are we doing what we do we is this something you need to be continued and. this is what i did is hoping to prevent. away from the tourist destinations many of curacao space a club with waste nylon fishing lines and fishing holds a simply abandoned. herds and animals get tangled in them the lucky ones and it

finds and messes back to health. and it's worked as a vet keeps have busy but she also runs a wild last century she's always love birds. flamingo is one year old a debt fantasy recently injured near a pool and has been tending to her for months you know a female can live up to 40 to 60 years in the world so she's a baby and if she's a female reproducing also for killing the population for. both kids company so that she doesn't forget how to interact with their own species she'll return to the wild soon. they need to not be tamed we have it we have it's not cuddling we have this wild animals that are hurt . you help them they put them back as soon as you can. but it is currently

rehabilitating $45.00 wild animals they need medication in cages and 80 kilos of food each week the wildlife clinic in century depends on donations for it it's a labor of love but it's exhausting work. to get her to. soon audit will have even moved on her hands over just a few days afic mass. weight has drifted to the island's coast. the sea turtles trapped in the albi it can be deadly. a group of conservationists have made it their mission to sites in a coal camp only in the morning. i get this goal to get that when you. come.

to is 14 years old as a volunteer at the sea turtle conservation organization she and the team leader are about to head out. nearly all species of seam total and now endangered. turtles are in distress cattle in helplessly they're fighting for their lives and we want to do what we can to save their not involved. many tentacles attract in the massive scene we. put out here on the water they're almost impossible to see. and they. not easy to rescue. all these

parts so it actually hurts but maybe it's not. very bad. here anything in the water just everywhere there is with. these huge seaweed blooms a recent problem because by rising water temperatures along with agricultural fertilizers washing into the ocean from brazil sea turtles come to the surface to breathe and then find themselves trapped in the thick of seeing weight. without help they would die in the heat every rescued sea turtle is a cause for celebration when a severed turtle eggs just because a lot if you like them helping. but it's not just start old it's everything in the ocean itself in everything it's creatures it's wonderful to me and i dare you for doubt but if. the team had been working here for days on

end they have rescued 25 turtle so far many of them are undernourished and weak and will need to be nursed back to health. care. the sickest turtles are brought to do it to help. we're family underfunded and i'll just come out on the rock you know this was made a movie is. so. there's something here among these turtles a suffering from a chuma disease found in a ring turtles will surgically remove some of the growths this one is making it hard for the turtle to see which. could a sound has a network of wildlife conservation is to call on each other these turtles are healthy but need to put on some weight. don't go to the aquarium for a while to recover your idiotic. moron. who has been

volunteering for 3 years she helps whenever she can wherever she's needed being able to help it's just one this is more. every summer hurricane passed through the caribbean in recent years they're prone more frequent and gained in force the strongest storms bring death and destruction mike here in the bahamas and the dominican republic the storms being fueled by rising water temperatures hurricane could spell the end of the cooney alaska peleg over panama until maginnis is worried storms are growing more powerful and the sea level is rising. until and sila a fishing today. these waters have long sustained the indigenous community people look. like. they were not the only other thought god created this and gave it

to us you gave us this privilege we should enjoy it but we also have to take care of it or we have to preserve nature the environment in which. they're hoping to find enough fish for a meal and perhaps some to sell but that's proving difficult this morning. this is a sea cucumber the chinese like the eggs of america. first this is a lion fish go there they're venomous if it stings you you could die. there were . the water is shallow here the island is surrounded by a reef that forms a natural barrier.

here's an outfit that guy in this has an impact on us every time it rains or high waves hit the island the island is flooded the much. fifty's response are inhabited some of the most beautiful have hotels built on them for tourists. who cannot live on the other islands many men work as fishermen forced to organize their women and sell their handicrafts. mansions island god is who is 300 meters long and 150 meters wide just about every inch of the island is built on . multigenerational families live under a single ruth. was my mother sleeps here marked by sleep here my father sleeps there too this is our

room there where the. local people have dug up much of the reef and now they also have climate change to contend with the sea levels are rising and the island's days look to be numbered. the human value of where they're going was going at the end we had unusually heavy rain recently it flooded the island our home 2 of them quote the sea water came up to our ankles. it was unpleasant my mother and i bailed out the water all day and we never had anything like this before so we're much worse so. this was also worried about his time in the with the has become increasingly unpredictable like many locals he's trying to build a protective barrier made of discarded materials and called from the relief. well we got 40 miles to look after we look for coral and fill up the holes with it. so we can build a natural barrier against the water at that point

a lot what local people are removing the coral the pretext there are in hope of protecting their homes it's a vicious circle hopes the global community will finally take action against climate change played out that there's a live one that nature responds to our actions that damage the environment but we have to look after our earth and keep this from getting worse and that that will require a change in perspective on the guns into. the government has long ignored the problem. given up on the island and said the family should be resettled to the mainland. to move would threaten the final flight of an entire community the older residents are especially reluctant to move. some of them really is something we are like elephants you know we want to die in our homeland and that if it wasn't absolutely necessary with global warming the storms.

we feel that we have to go to a better place oh my god me hold. a town. in kilometers to the north there is still cause for hope. the coastal waters of beliefs are brisk take need beautiful. people here live surrounded by the wonders of nature but the greatest treasure is underwater the police barrier reef is the 2nd largest coral reef system in the world. some of the coral growth is believed to be 7000 years old. just a few years ago the reef was on the endangered list now it's slowly coming back to life. and money for non is helping to preserve the reef she's doing the work she's always dreamed of even as

a girl she always knew she wanted to help rescue the coral reef. but i feel like when i go to work it's like. when they call me or say all right we're going to all do this laughing work here go check the corals here or whatever it is i'm like all right let's do this let's let's wrap this let's wrap that if. people here in the coastal village of percents live from fishing and tourism both industries depend on the coral reef. you know i come on this trip many times many there is a man so blessed and i look at everything that i am that is there front of me and i think i hope one day this doesn't become a memory underwater it's apparent that the reef is struggling coral dies when the water becomes too into a city storm surges from increasingly severe hurricanes also damage the range time

it changes leaving behind bleached gray in tennis. many works for marine biologist lisa cowan and here in chino frank. they're about to harvest some special coral atoll used to reforest the reef. overdue and so there's no time to waste right now the rows are basically like the forest this season so just like the trees in the forest provide habitat is out there for so many other animals the corals do the same on the reef. through careful research they determined which coral is especially vigorous. when we collect from the donner party we never took more than 10 percent of the large these and these 4 hours that the forests have a very fast rapid growth rate. they use a technique called micro fragmenting in which small coral colonies are transplanted to other locations. perhaps carlotta sawed into 5 centimeters pieces then the

pieces are half the. fragments of hope and because carmel is a living creature they have to work quickly. small pieces of coral a seeded in places with the original coral has died they come out here several times a week and played. the fragments on to what they call kookiness mining to cement mixture. this is a canal work but it's for the for the for the future and that's the other matters. about 80 percent of the coral fragments survive these here have been growing for a year and a half as life returns to the reef and other marine life pretends to it. for me to look back at a review and say i helped i helped in its diversity and for others the seed later

on for me that's hope that so. it can leslie is also feeling more optimistic again. like. ok. if we didn't have president up for you know that. that's not helping rose. more coral means speech. engine is officially like his father and grandfather before him and now his son to be also brings to fish the pelicans tell him where the fish are congregating. and more for here which comes from 15 years old and i start to change my diet. but this is my. world

as a fisherman the region also sees himself as a protection of the reef using large nicks is out of the question for him thank you all the family which also kills the coral so all is well if you look up. there if you don't have an official was there. you know. they're there it's just them projects the fish is happy if they don't have that i have the fishes out here in these corals are stuff like that the growth of the idea is that. the ratio is now teeming with life. right. begin to flow over. the top 100. 80 and fishes sustainably and serves all to bring elations to want isn't seen that means no spinal stuff today. it's going to help. this be should go in order to get back to. where it was once

of all. the government has divided the police removed designs fishermen are only allowed to fish in their own area it's a sacrifice but edlund supports the measure. about it out to do it is illegal activity i get there bob the great though is. that across their birth the future is not going to be here for it kids will. serve as much as possible the future will be beautiful. and lin has also become an activist to police government has been issuing generous payments for offshore oil exploration but the catastrophic gulf of mexico oil spill 10 years ago was when i come home and even joined the backers of a petition opposing offshore oil exploration in the united nations weighed in and the government called a moratorium on. dredging for the floods not that there is. one little oil spill there and therefore the resource that. the

people of police are fighting to save the coral reef. is taking measurements on the cultivated coral planning to transplant so. the work is supported by project funds and donations coverage he has increased to over 50 percent 8 years ago it was just 6 percent. of their hard work is paying off the reef is recovering. this is not solving the climate change craze all this is is a little bit ended bind us some time for the cause of community people here and i think that you it's the units that are right now they have all the power to make so much change and that is where i'm trying to get at because they are that they are the future. despite this success this 2 coolest to consume

the rescuing the grief here but elsewhere it's still being destroyed the police very brief region is dotted with tiny islands covered in mangroves mangroves are as important to the ecosystem as the coral itself. and mangroves provide habitat for lots of other critters that live on the reefs they serve as nurseries in the tap root system mangroves also stabilize the land and keep it together so when you remove them everything falls apart. but that's exactly what's happening many small islands are being sold the mangroves are being chopped down and small hotels are being built sometimes coral is even dug up to shore up the islands. there's so many things out of our control for say that we're constantly scrambling to mitigate and try to adapt to its fresh trading that the one thing we can control which is close to the government is not the trouble was the battle to save the ecosystem

along police's barrier reef has not yet been one of the hurricane season approaching the new coral fragments need to be firmly embedded so that they will stay put in a storm. back in curacao the environmental activists are thrilled clear take is removing a sea turtle from the aquarium that she risky from the scene we need more than a month ago. dozens of people have come here to help a way in the sea turtles measuring them and tagging them so they can be identified if they're brought in again. today is a big day for everyone was that these were going to be released today there is so much better now so it's time for them. now it's time to head to the

beach. the wildlife conservation is to attract a lot of attention along the route. that's actually has a feel somewhat like up front. just crazy means that more and more people are going to realize what we're doing and i know what it's. like to come out of. the water is choppy but clean fishing turtles will be returned to the ocean. very very excited. they hope to sea turtles will swim away without turning back. the.

success the sea turtles have been risking. it's a special day for a day to she's invited. local children and tourists today the birds that have recovered will be returned to the wild. the female flamingo and say goodbye to bob . for 18 years now a date has been working to help people appreciate nature and wildlife. claiming a bob is the star of the show. his charm helps win people over to the course which also helps the wildlife rescue program brace donations. bodie is ready to return to the wild and to freedom it's a joyous occasion but this always a bit of worry will the wild birds accept or has she become to time an acclimated

to humans a hell of a bird or a furry his form and find his other siblings. at the governor's time to let go o.t. is a little uncertain at 1st. then the flamingo plies a way to rejoin her colony it's another moment a celebration the people here know they can't stand the tide of global warming on their own but they're working for change and to raise awareness even a small success is worth the effort.
