7:30 am
happiness is for everyone. szymon penises are very different from primates. you know, we have a totally predictable as the size view of nature a there, david, and this is climate change. crisis sex, how freeness and for you books, you get smarter for free. you know where your books are neutered this is the but when you were in forest in uganda it's part of a national park that was declared a unesco world heritage site. in 1994, the forest is home to an estimated $1000.00 and gorillas. but their habitat is now threatened because humans are moving ever closer and could even spread the coded 1000 buyers to the gorilla population. can we stop the spread of such though not of
7:31 am
diseases? what part to humans play in this process? and is there a connection between colvin climate change and the destruction of wildlife habitats? some african countries plan to reforest 100000000 hectares of land over the next 10 years. how do they plan to do this? today we're going to visit a mountain gorilla habitat. our guide is dr. gladys a veterinarian. 1st some antivirus measures dr. kelly might see kusaka co-founded, an organization that aims to protect wildlife from disease spread by humans, but it funded the organization in 2003. and at that time, people did not think it was a priority, they recognized that it was an issue,
7:32 am
but they didn't think it was such a big problem. but the could be done to continue to show that this is really the big problem that if you want to put in the next pandemic, you have to be able to seriously prevent uncontrolled diseases. and this situation also affects local residents who make their living from tourism. business as well. nothing recently. that's bad news for park ranger course must to mitt romney and also for gladys's organization. because they need the cooperation of the local community. not only for you big government like when you did president out, but i just started work one day when i saw some tourists, if there was a white person with them, we hadn't seen one for a long time. the gorillas live really close by. so i know right away if something was wrong, like people trying to sneak into their habitat on the supporting him, then you go on with the thinking photos quote. i said, yeah,
7:33 am
i know he's still in the us and he's been in the us. so sometimes you go to that live, what does that sound? ok, then the kind of government idea that the rangers will ensure the gorillas away from the settlements back into the forest. if the park needs the income that the tourist trade provides. but at the same time, the rangers have to protect the gorillas from potentially dangerous contact with humans, especially these days our next cycle through does for me it is feeding any of it really does that pose us to this effect that it has been because one of us can lead the way this is so that when we are 15, you hear that we have left the president is that although the number of mountain gorillas is increasing, you know, they are still considered an endangered species. there are 2 separate gorilla
7:34 am
populations. one here in the windy and the other in the mountains, about 80 kilometers away. flea shit, abundant is present genetic material within the mountain. the mountain gorillas can easily make them sick. and so if you to quote from then sneeze on them, you can very easily spread, could be 19, or any other species really diseased to them feel like if the rest go to the doctor than for them. and there's so few in number compared to us. so we have to do whatever we can. for example, we have in the kidney was away from them. everybody is wearing a mask and so we have to $100.00 times, disinfect feet when we're getting close to the green, a lot of what they pick through arteries to be very clear. they are friends and i use it to people given us. so they kind of come to us when you see them climb the flight deck, some steps behind. i don't touch on that and just get
7:35 am
folks to go back in front of us is called public or good feelings of going on to the back of the scoop. only, so we're back up to me, the suv about becoming the coming of a good team and the direction of travel. the greenest, don't realize that there's a pandemic floating, they don't know that they should think of this and the puckering just have basic income to be had between them so that they don't get too close. get after school picking up diseases from us that we could just diseases and things like locked into a very special connection whenever i see them. it's just amazing. it's magical, every single time. over a few of them. so many times. suni. my dick looked plain
7:36 am
. ignorant playford, the rulers build a nest every single night. and in the morning when they're getting up to start the day they defecate in normally on the site. but it's a very good way for us to be able to monitor the health of the gorillas. what we do is we pretty much we measure the size of the dung. i think that tell us whether it's an adult males in iraq or with every adult female. this is like, this must be an adult male. this may well be death of a buck training you can get, you can bring it up. so we take samples from each, have been to a guerilla group once a month. and then if it's of normal. so if we're following them on the trail, and one of them is passing down to collect samples so that we're able to monitor
7:37 am
their health the whole year. so a species that's related to humans is now threatened by through poaching warfare, the destruction of forests. and most recently, the covert pandemic is really unique because the way that has come is through human kind actions going into forests like this trapping wild animals, putting them in cages next, other animals. you know, this is about corona virus which need tape in which to jump the other species there . it's a pretty simply clean one, just as easy as it's pretty clean money can jump back to the lunsford sometimes east of the supposed to be later. released uganda still in the forest and travel east to neighboring kenya. we want to find out more about perhaps the animals that are widely believed to be the source of the corona virus. loyal our destination is mt albert
7:38 am
national park. local resident augustine. but i will show us the caves where the bats live. i used to use the bags that were too stupid to look for if it were, would it? these men from the village are headed for the case to hunt for bats. the meat is considered a delicacy by many in this part of kenya. despite the objections of conservationists that we've been eating bat, meat for generations. if we can't find any vegetables, we go up to the caves just like our ancestors did that make pretty often. it's easier to find the chicken in this environment. first, the hunters cut branches like these to catch the bats and then they cut off the
7:39 am
long thorns near the bottom of the branch so they can hold on to it. the forms on top will be used to trap the bats. the vegetation becomes more dense as we approach the caves of which i did this and is still there, but it's you see is continuing to do it over and over from that kid to id. i think it depends on where you'd like it. if some of the men dive into a pool in the cave to scare the bats in the animals fly outside, the hunters are waiting there to catch them. free. usually we use the branches to chase the bats around, and then their wings get caught in the thorn as you know, it works great and no one gets hurt. oh good lord. it's you saw it as it is because it's you who like fish. i
7:40 am
mean, even those who think i don't have a problem with catching bats, signet it by the net about that disease, we just have to be afraid to gold, but it doesn't turn up here. knew that if someone finds a cure for it, that they seek. i'm starting to think like, i do need to ask them all how they update. maybe it's the see the way they put they can take something. well, even if it's the move, somewhat interesting, it's really something the hunters return home with their catch. meanwhile, it mom ologist barnard, of the ski on quanta is getting ready to visit the capes. these slides dr. are studying diseases that bats could transmit to humans. when
7:41 am
human beings, the number increased from, say, the 2, now kate and 10, do you remember this piece on optimus? the same surreal complaint was based at the natural alex clapton ever talked to the protest demolition of the kids get the facts mentioned, because then they would scatter subtle control to have attacked when they do so. this place to get closer to us than to never the best to jump over the last dr or go under and his colleagues wear masks and protective suits. they're well aware of the health risks posed by bats. now will go deep into the caves to find the animals in the last 2 decades, 60 percent of the mines in diseases. i mean, bats are the places where teams have bats. that means that's how good the highest number of planets has that potential to jump to
7:42 am
a human being. 2 of them is to connect with a public health well from their point of view of last minute existence. even further, if you think people over intricacies they have specific programs they like for you to remember the video of the fact it's like the habitat. so this is because of the fear of everything that they like. so little suited predator stuff to learn in that one. and now we can is increasingly seeing poaching on bats and it is no doubt that they are pushing small amounts now pushing him into evil nature for him to use. he can appreciate and save the legend,
7:43 am
gone from this time to the tests that it's called. sometimes holy spirit uses such as such as to 50 years, a group, if you kept at it, which it is open to. and so if there will be a spillover has more religion perfected, and if it will cause it to be localized. now, because we move from point a to point b. within an hour and then from one human being in the elite to your own to communion to 3 hours and then cruising all over new york. in one day, you can see how we are giving back, such as if you know, people who live in this village don't seem to worry about the health risks posed by perhaps you can get one if you know a fair fight, like what if there was
7:44 am
a disease here, we would have caught it a long time ago, but the old people have been eating this meat for years. just as our ancestors did . you can eat it and live to be 100 you know, vandy then of if they like when both of these are the internal organs, they're safe to eat because the bats eat a lot of salt in the caves. each bag has about a quarter kilo of meat and it's disease free gift of an innocent little yellow in the affected about. but of course the kids don't listen when their parents try to warn them, but they want to find out more, that my youngest son would eat that me. but when he grows up, like my oldest son, he want to share their grief. and
7:45 am
people eventually learn to stay away from the bats and stop cutting down primeval forest. that is the earth's climate is changing, and new diseases are turning up all the time. these are manmade problems. in kenya, the authorities are trying to reverse these trends. this effort includes a reforestation program, but the situation is complicated because people are now living in the areas where new trees are to be planted. this is the mouth forest in western kenya. the region is home to an important ecosystem, including a major reservoir. the government has now ordered new settlers like catherine to leave the area when they told us that this was forest land ordered us to move. and they said
7:46 am
that we were destroying the dream is and ruining the reservoir. to me, if they said this was causing water shortages in neighboring countries, since the nation is from the get go, i was happy to just work on my land. i could grow food for my children and earn some money to pay for their education in a theoretical question. but one young lady in the government has caused us a lot of grief. i had to tear down my 1st 2 houses. soldiers burnt down our 3rd house where my children used to study. they destroyed the granary too. i lost everything. i couldn't even harvest my corn and millet props. when i
7:47 am
saw the settlers will have to leave their land to make room for new trees. the government plans to increase the amount of forest land to 10 percent by 2022, but $10000000.00 trees are to be planted in the mal forest along this effort is aimed at stabilizing the regional climate and getting the rivers flowing again. but what will happen to the settlers? some of them say they own the property and happy documents to prove it. they claim that the government has cheated them. but kenya's environmental minister says that the settlers had no right to move into the area of the gold, and that they were not forced out. they have done that and have gone back to where they came from, everybody. each one of them knows that they should not have been here to begin, and most of the settlers had nothing more than a simple heart and a bit of land for the crops. and that we have no idea what they're going to do.
7:48 am
they don't know any powerful politicians who could plead their case to the government. so catherine, he left on her own to provide food and shelter for herself and her children are now they're staying with a relative to do that. and my uncle took us in for a while. there are lots of kids in the house and sometimes they fight with each other. but i can't do anything about it. i'm just a visitor there. i tell my kids to stay calm and don't provoke the others. but where else can they go when they want to play you? some of the settlers have built small houses on land that was donated by a private individual. so there's no room for crops here. not even a garden. katherine has no idea how long she'll be able to stay. she uses wood from one of her old houses to build a new home. i'm not getting help from anyone.
7:49 am
so i can provide for my children like i could when we had farm land, a job. my kids ask me, what are we going home? and i don't know what to tell them. that i hope that we can find some metal sheeting for the roof. as soon as we get the roof built, we can move in. the settlers don't understand why they're being blamed for the region's environmental problems, nor do they understand why the rivers in the must time are up and serengeti plains are drying up. they simply want to place to live and work god gave people land so that they could live on it. and that's all we're doing. living on the land that was provided to us by god. in the game.
7:50 am
catherine is heading to a meeting of displaced persons. the african union has demanded a temporary halt to the expulsion of the settlers and human rights groups, including one led by american attorney logan hambrick promise to help heal the wound. we have started to tell your story. that is, if you take the lexan that they require basic human rights, things that you deserve for your dignity. come our clothing, housing, things for your good looks for your children. thank you. because he told us that if we can't go back to our homes, you will be given a new piece of land. if that happens,
7:51 am
we would be very happy and you would be at this point, no one knows what will happen. in any case, africa's population is growing rapidly. how will the continent feed its people and deal with the effects of climate change and the spread of disease? one answer may be found here in the rift valley. home to the hominid ancestors of modern humans. teddy cañon juhi is looking for new sites where he can plant seeds balls to grow. large numbers of new trees are the focus of the fall of the sea wall work that we're doing now is specifically on restoring, degraded areas that are degraded because of human activity. and no one else is going into a store and replant, where some of those trees have been cut down. the urgency that we're seeing from all of these byproducts of deforestation dietician, the flood, and the drought,
7:52 am
you know, we wait 50 years for it to solve its own problem. that might be too long. today. teddy has been dropping bagfuls of seed boss. the seed is tucked inside a pellet composed of compressed charcoal dust and some nutrients are often distributed in areas where trees have been cut down, illegally. teddy and his colleagues, house and car start founded the company that makes the seed balls. these trees are called acacia. your idea, this is a low fever, are you still parts of it more yellowish? thorns off the child starts having dolls or yes. this is the same, a sailor fever on the stuff and all over sadly for these are very, very produce very, very excellent quality charcoal. so lots of areas. these are the 1st ones to be removed because it's such a great fire. but it grows and reaches long distances horizontally before it actually as it matures,
7:53 am
then it starts going up the other. so there are going to put down this 1st tough spot, january 28th team. this is in july 28th team. this is it, this is not today. he almost fully grown. the seeds come from kenya's forestry research institute, which buys them from farmers. teddy is proud of the seed balls, unique design, big thing the seed balls growing is how do you stop those seeds being eaten prematurely by mice, by birds, by insights, not really are concepts. and i think i'd say, how do you got the right type of seeds that i don't have them being eaten by the things you don't want to eat? what's more the pellet prevents? the wind from blowing the seeds around. the balls are made from charcoal dust. teddie and else and by the material from people who make charcoal. so they've taken what would seem to be a useless byproduct and turned it into
7:54 am
a valuable resource. it's not waste anymore because we buy it. so we have these vendors that found us up and say ok, we have a lorry load, we go in, we take it for a tonne load, we pay them for it. and then it's made into briquettes. we had binders of water. we have rolling machines that create pillows, pillow big cats, and this is called vendors waste charcoal. it's cheaper to use seed balls to plant new trees than it is to use seedlings. we hope to be able to do that $8000000.00 seed balls plus that we've made so far in the last couple years. i would hope that we would get soon to a point. we were doing that in 2 months. 20 tries a new way to plant a seed ball. we
7:55 am
returned to the windy forest in uganda, home of the mountain gorillas. this region must not only preserve a safe haven for the gorilla population, should also provide jobs for the people who live there. that's especially true during the pandemic of dr. gladys has found a way to help local coffee farmers earn more for their crops every farm and that we can support spending. it is one less person disparate that they have to into the park to pull its citizens. and disrupt the gorillas and the people very hungry. and then we started to develop fast growing seediness for the local community members that they can plant in their land,
7:56 am
which reduces their need to be a community leader brings gladdest to the place where local residents gather to boil water to make it safer, drinking. she's going to talk to them about problems such as poverty poaching, so or not of diseases, health care and family planning to get her message across. she uses illustrations, but they can have a beautiful if you like. they're funny when they have the children they can manage, but i walked off, you know, i'm not going to really look, you don't know. one of all of the local families are better off life will improve for the girls we had can do this outbreak in the mountain gorillas and you just link to people living around the park very, to help the gorillas get this cave is when they went outside the park to get people's banana plants, and they found that the clothing on a scarecrow, and that's how they got it. the baby gorilla got sick and died,
7:57 am
and the rest only recovered when you treated them with ivermectin. and this made me realize that we can't protect the gorillas without improving the health of the community living next to them. gladys also explains why the children need a proper education that will help improve their chances for a better life. for a couple of them are staying at home, so them there's also a state at home. their job is to chase away gorillas and other wildlife instead of going to school. so they don't have a future. in this laboratory, gladys and one of her colleagues are examining gorilla stool samples. this will help to determine the presence of any pathogens and their potential source right now with the presence of the to be picking up from people who are nice to look, especially when they're in your 2nd puck, which they will often do it in the school trip. we saw was very close to the age of the boundary, but we also preserving the symbols to school could be done to the pandemic has made
7:58 am
more people aware of the potential risks of interaction between animals and humans . here gladys is discussing the situation in a video conference. she says, we all have to do a better job of dealing with these problems. we have to respect nature. we have to spend less time cutting down trees. the more that we are close and close that wildlife in ways that we shouldn't deny a chance of getting synthetic diseases. and then we are so since a very strong health systems, one health systems that prevents diseases spreading one stay in one species, going from one species to another. people even called me said in humans, and now we understand what you've been talking about. as soon as he does, it is very important. if we are to have a secure future to
