a champ in the scenes. animals and people suffering. there is hard dedicated conservationists a function effects of climate change this year for every if you don't 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 to us from far lawit to the marine an island environment is also home to many wild animals. including bald some very special klingler famous not only in current sound but. all over the

world. but it deuced 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 who. can no longer spread his left wing properly and his feet had to see if he would struggle to survive in the wild so it it took him in. when they asked me who's 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 in the globo doesn't look like a bob there all the funny thing is the name bob it means like a flame and said to be well known and now he's famous. no man is open right now but. it's

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

a closer look. at the original march that ends. an hour some of the children are hesitant more so than bob who by now has clocked up plenty of experience. ringback and it spent several months preparing for visits like. none of the children have ever been this close to achieving goals. and. their budget then begins explaining the importance of protecting nature and animals. even a chance can't abandon dockside can spell death for flamingos and i run a horse. was that his name not so this is nylon and once it's in nature it doesn't go away in a cute familiar like bug could get stuck in this. ball it's quite the hit.

the shaft this is the message sticks. plastic isn't good for them all so that if they die it's not ok. but it knows that moments like peace can make a difference. when you have that reaction then you have the gateway to their heart with their shell shock you might still pushing their marriage to friends you know. like some discussion what are we doing why are we doing what we do we is this something. needs to be continued and. this is what it 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 bird. and animals get tangled in them the lucky ones and it

finds and i suspect a healthier. adepts work as if it keeps have busy but she also runs a wild last century she's always love birds. flamingo is one year old adept fantasy engineer cool and has been tending to her for months you know if i'm wrong or 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 being a population for. both kids company so that she doesn't forget how to interact with her own species she'll return to the wild soon. they need to not be taking rehab to rehab it's not coddling rehab it's wild animals that are hurt. you help them they put them back 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 know. soon or that will have even moved on her hands over just a few days of. seaweed has drifted to the island's coast. the sea turtles trapped in the algal it can be deadly. a group of conservationists have made it their mission to sites and. came early in the morning. i get this goal but if i win you. all it is 14 years old as

a volunteer at the sea turtle conservation organization she in the team leader about to head out. nearly all species of seem totally and now endangered. turtles are in distress and tattling helplessly they're fighting for their lives and we want to do what we can to save the not. that. many turtles attract in the mass of st louis. but out here on the water they're almost impossible to see. and they. not easy to rescue. all these

parts so he actually perth when they get it's not. very bad. here in the water just everywhere there is with. these huge seaweed blooms a recent problem they caused 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 mat of seeing weight. without help they would die in the heat every rescued sea turtle is a cause for celebration when a severed turtle it's just been thought it's like i'm helping. but it's not just start over it's everything the ocean itself and everything it's creatures it's wonderful to me and i dare you for doubt but it's.

15 have been working here for days on end they've rescued 25 turtle so far many of them are undernourished and weak and will need to be nursed back to health and. the sickest turtles are brought toward it to help. if only. we're family underfunded and i'll just come out on the rocks no it isn't. really is. so. though there is something here with these turtles a suffering from a chuma disease found in our internationals will surgically remove some of the growths this one is making it hard for the turtle to see what. 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 close the aquarium for a while to recover every job but it. has been

volunteering for 3 years she helps whenever she can wherever she's needed being able to help it's just one thing if this is. every summer a 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. and helen sila a fishing today. these waters have long sustained the indigenous community people look. at it like they're not the only one with

a 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. you know now this is a sea cucumber the chinese like the. first this is a lion fish. 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 much. fifty's respondents are inhabited some of the most beautiful have hotels built on them for tourists. they cannot live on the other islands many men workers fishermen to organize their women and sell their handicrafts. mansions island god is to do 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. reichl and it is my mother sleeps here my 5 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 islands days look to be numbered. a menagerie of where there was on earth the end we had unusually heavy rain recently the flood of the island our home to the end of them were the sea water came up to our ankles. it was unpleasant being my mother and i bailed out the water all day and we never had anything like this before so young george so. close lopez was also worried about his home with the has become increasingly unpredictable like many locals he's trying to build a protective barrier made of discarded materials and culled from the race was only got 40 miles looked after we look for coral and still. the holes with it. so we can

build a natural barrier against the water at that point the local people are removing the car all 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 but not that there's only one the 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 bones into what the government has long ignored the problem they've given up on the island and say 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 from this we are like elephants you know we want to die in our homeland. that if it wasn't absolutely necessary with global warming the storms. we

feel that we have to go to a better place i'll move out of me hold. a 1000 kilometers to the north there's still cause for hope. the coastal waters of delays are breathtakingly 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. money for non is helping to preserve the reef she's doing the work she's always dreamed of. you can use

a girl she always knew she wanted to help rescue to coral reef. but i feel like when i go to work it's like. when they call me i say all right we're going to go 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 rock this let's rock today. people here in the coastal village of percents live from fishing and tourism both industries depend on the call reef. you know i come on this trip many times many there is a man left and i look at everything that i am that if they're 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 increasing use of the hurricanes also damage the range

climate change is moving behind bleached grain in tennis. monique works for marine biologist lisa cowan and in chino fragments they're about to harvest some special coral atoll used to reforest the reef. we're 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 on the corals do the same on the reef. through careful research they determined which coral suspiciously 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. just perhaps carla sold into 5 centimeters pieces then the

pieces are half. fragments of hope and because carmel is a living creature they have to work quickly. small pieces of coral a seed in places with the original coral has died they come out here several times a week and play. the fragments on to what they call cookies made into cement mixture. this is a god i don't work but it's for the for the for the future and that's all that matters. about 80 percent of the coral fragments survived these here have been growing for a year and a half as life returns to the reef and other marine life returns to it. for me to look back at our reef and say i helped i helped in its diversity and

for others to see it later on for me that's hope that's hope. it didn't leslie also feeling more optimistic again. if we didn't have been so for you know the. start. more coral means each. engine is official like his father and grandfather before him and now his son too he also brings tears to fish the pelicans tell him where the fish are congregating. i thought boy here i quit function here and then i start to change my diet thank you this is my sweet thank you as a fisherman the engine also sees himself as

a protector of the race using large next is out of the question for him thank you all the things which it also shows the car or dollars while you look up. there if you don't have any fish to walk to. the reef is then projects the fish is happy if they don't have that i have the fish to start clearing these corals i stuff like that the growth of the idea is that. the region is now teeming with life. like. begin and if you are. just not on a. 'd sustainable initiatives all the brink elations what is in season means no spinal obstacle today. is going to help in this species though in order to get back to. where it was once

the bulk of the government has divided the police region designs fishermen to fish in their own area 'd it's a sacrifice for an indian supports the nation. in about it that it would be a legal activity i get them off the break they only. let across their birth a future is not going to be here for a quick google. server as much as possible the future will be beautiful. it lynne has also become an activist to get the police government has been issuing general permits for offshore oil exploration but the catastrophic gulf of mexico oil spill 10 years ago 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 was stretching. it's not that there is. one little order of return the resource that. the

people of police are fighting to save the coral reef. is taking measurements on the cultivated coral planning to transplant soon the work is supported by project funds and donations carl 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 is it all this is is a little bit and they bind us some time for the cause of community people here and i think that the units of a right now they have all the power to make so much change and that is where i'm trying to get at because they're the future. despite the success there's still kudos to consume the rescuing reef here but elsewhere it's

still being destroyed the police very brief region is dotted with tiny islands covered in mangroves the mangroves are as important to the ecosystem as the coral itself. and mangroves provide habitat for a lot of other critters that live on the reefs they serve as nurseries in the tap root system mangroves also stabilize the landing to 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 again built sometimes cultural is even dug up to shore up the islands. there's so many things that are controlled 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 also development is not be controlled was the battle to save the ecosystem

along polices 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 not the environmental activists are thrilled to. take is removing a sea turtle from the aquarium that she rescued from the same wheat more than a month ago. dozens of people have come here to help they weighing 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 and there's so much better now so it's time for them so. 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 a bronze. dispraise. 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 i feel. they hope to see turtles will swim away without turning back. the.

6 eighth's sea turtles have been risking. it's a special day for a day or 2 she's invited. local children and tourists today the birds that have recovered will be returned to the wild. the female flamingo will say goodbye to bob . for 18 years now a date has been working to help people appreciate nature and wildlife. claiming a dog is the star of the show. his charm helps win people over to the course which also helps the wildlife rescue program raise donations. bodhi is ready to return to the wild and to free agent it's a joyous occasion but there's always a bit of worry will the wild birds accept the o.t. or has she become too tame in acclimated to humans to help the bird flies away for

his form and for his other siblings. at the level there is no time to let go o.t. is a little uncertain at 1st. then the flamingo flies away to rejoin her colony it's another moment of celebration the people here know they can't stand the tide of global warming on their own but they working for change and to raise awareness even a small success is worth the effort. to
