12:42 am
a decline of more than 95 percent. in botswana however there are too many elephants thanks to strict conservation measures the elephant population there has increased rapidly in recent years. among the star attractions in chhobi national park other many elephants antelopes. and hippos roaming free. but sauna has the world's highest other than population somewhere between 13160000. tourists flock to marvel at them. the arts of back money has been coming here with her husband for many years. but. this time is spent. because my family are here too my niece and my 2 grandchildren but we really wanted to show them the africa we know we love we can be among all these animals and so close to them on
12:43 am
their own that's not anything down that's how tourists experience the elephants. and this is how local people experience them. park ranger horsey myra is out on patrol. just. making her feel. suddenly another elephant appears between the houses in the town of cassani at the edge of the park. he tells us they can injure people attack them. especially if they're with a young. boy. elephants wonder through residential areas and farms this often leads to conflict between humans and animals . danielle just when you saw jeremiah says he
12:44 am
always keeps a gun loaded he has a farm outside cassani. i showed an elephant the last. 28 did. it was in the field here. during the day i dared to skate they refused then those who are there said i did not ok and elephant is not is not nice is not nice to kill it but there for the sake of 7 if this. is killing me or i is war one is all we shoot. it's a fight for survival jeremiah says the elephants are always on his heels destroying his crops. the was there come there every day today they're going to get to do these linda nice to come again and continue until the whole field is
12:45 am
done. elephants have trampled his fences including the electric ones. and jeremiah doesn't have the money to repair them. none of my life is being called a thing with the authority thing by elephants what i mean is they're making people poor they're making people poor. no i'm poor. my feeling is i think conning should be done what i feel about all of it does that too many. they need to be to do with. the government hasn't organized any college culture eventually last year lifted a ban on elephant hunting that had been imposed 5 years earlier it now permits the killing of 400 pm promising
12:46 am
a field day for sports hunters the government says the hunting should be allowed specifically in areas where elephants human conflicts are most common or what elephants we have learnt over time about elephants is that when the north is danger they will not go to those areas and we use the controlled hunting. of that not to use numbers but to create that bad. so that people can continue about livelihoods i mean. it's been estimated that the elephant population will continue to grow significantly even if $400.00 a kill each year. trophy hunting is widely despised in europe for example but can it actually fulfill a useful function. some conservationists think it can. the impact will be positive because botswana is absolutely committed to having any resources that it gets from sport to go to the communities rural
12:47 am
botswanans live with 150000 elephants and they have not been receiving any benefits whatsoever so a couple of animals that are sport hunted can go a very long way to mitigate the kind of negative impacts including the loss of human life that rural botswanans are facing on a daily basis. man a fish was trampled to death last year while on his way home in cousin a. his sister dorcas sums up the findings of the police investigation. he'd say to a man bank. bad then. so. this. and. the and the bush's so they pulled him out she tells us they used to be fewer elephants in the area and they were less aggressive. in the past
12:48 am
there with just. your present elephant just you didn't it sometimes without even seeing it but now why does the actually change without even a person provoking them anyhow she says the aggression may well mean the elephants are feeling stressed the question remains if the elephant population continues to rise and the human population grows as well i'm happy encounters will probably continue to occur and a sustainable solution will still need to be found. in our global ideas series we head to the pacific ocean it's home to many species of sea turtle our reporter clare richardson went to the art of an island's part of the solomon islands north of australia she met some activists who are working to protect the turtles. in.
12:49 am
the solomon islands look like paradise on earth the region here in the south pacific is home to rich marry me biodiversity. but it's a challenging environment for the critically endangered hawksbill sea turtles that nest here. female turtles lay roughly $1000.00 eggs each season. only one in a 1000 all make it to adult hood. that chances are made by hunting and illegal trading. researches estimate that some 10000. tools are harvested each yeah. that's pushed hawksbill sea turtles to the brink of extinction . but for the creatures who make it to this particular peach that's how.
12:50 am
these women are on a mission to save the tassels in 2016 they formed a group which brings together communities from 3 islands to protect the tools from hunting. the 3 for many things they have different power for background so having to give all thought they have defected to for them to embrace it and to the project they come together uniting them together for conservation. they're on my way to the owner from a spectacular group of islands that's one of the largest breeding grounds in the south pacific for the hawks will see. the own evidence of a slice of a marine protected area the 1st ever national park in the solomon islands and a sanctuary for the tuttles. today the team are looking to catch them for time and release one locally as tuttle going to. win

12:52 am
attack by a crocodile. that common in these waters. world. is growing once the coast is clear she's on her way again. folks still sea turtles also face dangers on shore. rocks have discovered this not just now ranges must move the surviving eggs so the smell doesn't attract more predators. it's all pays off when the baby turtles are ready to catch. the women of koach he helped build tuttle highways in the sun and leading from the nests to the ocean. as the happening start that journey towards the sea the women try to keep them on track. they stand
12:53 am
guard against natural predators and purchase. tools are often cool to legally sold to buyers overseas totem is also an important traditional food in the solomon islands and it's been hunted for centuries while the practice is still legal outside to preserve the women of koach ia trying to change local out to cheat. me i am a sort of man i'd. like i would say that it. comes right and then. my face very pretty and i walk that they may canes my leg my thinking when you actually see them coming out from their holes and driving making their way through that and then i you play them i'm sitting there and then out me off and the fact that they are waiting for them out of struggle they have already left and then i was like oh i really go home. and cry is my family though my community. obviously bethel's. she's just one example of how koach his message is resonating
12:54 am

12:55 am
through in and also we do appropriate things then what their way is happening in the community so it is very important that we women the truth and the stand what is happening in that environment. there are now twice as many tuttle nests in the on of ns as the weapon for the marine park was established 25 years ago. but more needs to be done to save the species i think that if everybody's operating like to get that then we have i have high hopes for the welfare to do have i so see them yeah ok. he is hoping to get more women involved in educating and uniting communities to make sure the solomon islands are a safer place for turtles today and in the future. oh
