12000000 people depend on the rivers that originate in the bali mountains to protect the rivers from drying up the national park must be saved the question is how. water is life but in many parts of ethiopia there simply isn't enough of it. most of the people here are farmers. many still work with the simplest of tools and land suitable for farming and grazing is scarce . ethiopia is among the most populous countries on earth

more than 100000000 people live here and that number increases by around 2500000 every year if the growth rate remains constant the population could double by 2050 . ethiopia is part of the horn of africa it's a country of high mountain peaks in the south the ban a national park protects the afro alpine biome it's not only home to many rare species of plants and animals it's also the source of several rivers that flow through so malia to the indian ocean providing millions of people with water. the banda mountains are the water reservoir for the whole region since 2004 at the frankfurt zoo a logical society has been helping to preserve the national park the society's director christopher shank has come to see what the situation is like on the ground

he knows how important this area is. for a month so i'm told be used to be able to shift your biodiversity is an evenly spread on our planet in office one day 80 percent of species are found on just 20 percent of the earth's surface the reason we just have to protect the right places for the guns british the most important parts are the so-called hotspots so these are regions where that would secular abundance of the sixty's and if you can fork ones that only exist in those regions most of them want these hot spots are shrinking but a hot spot one is the afro alpine region including the bol a mountain of the culture of the pollock alligator. most of the region is covered by forest one of the last intact expanses a forest in the whole of ethiopia it's enormously important as a habitat for plants and animals as well as providing a balanced climate and water supply. the ancient juniper

and caso trees are habitat for various herbivores including the extremely rare and mountain eola this species of antelope is found only in the uplands of ethiopia. a mere 3000 mountainy alast still live in the wild most of them in bali national park. there's also a diverse host of small creatures it's likely that there are reptiles and amphibians here that haven't even been discovered yet. scientists have identified about $1300.00 flowering plants in bala many of which are only found here the diversity of species is encouraged by the climate. the high mountains make for fertile cloud forests.

droplets collect on mosse and lichen. they merge to form streams which in turn converge into mighty reverse supplying millions of people with water. crystal shank is on his way to the national parks headquarters. during the drive he's struck by the extent to which human activity has changed the environment. the many cows are just one indication.

the once clear water is stained brown by this oil it's washing away. because in your confused we don't see human influences here large numbers of livestock with massive over use of the land on which they're ocean caused by trample and grazing there's also erosion caused by the water behind me are non-native eucalyptus trees the landscape is totally changed and in very poor condition and to stop this. ethiopia's wealth of nature disappeared from here a long time ago many children don't know their country any other way. as often happens the weather in the mountains is about to change. hailstorm in the ethiopian highlands.

the landscape has been consistently damaged by humans and extreme weather like this only makes things worse. just visit as you just read people's future is being washed away on foot we associate ethiopia with drought and their conditions and those are on the increase but huge downpours are washing away the topsoil which is so important for agriculture so it's getting harder and harder for people to farm because most at the same time of the population is growing because that greatly increases the risk of people not being able to stay where they are not all that means they will be forced to migrate and those who make the youngest. coastal schenk continues on his way into the national park. the women and men who

work as rangers are waiting for him the director of the frankford zoological society offers them encouragement and na we have to protect lives and you are lucky . that most of the staff come from the surrounding villages they work here because there aren't many other jobs available and forcing the park's regulations often means coming into conflict with their neighbors. the frankford zoological society is aware of the challenges the global organization provides the ethiopian authorities with financial support it also helps with the management of large scale wildlife sanctuaries. in the valley national park is just under 2500 square kilometers there are a few roads and the rangers often patrol the reserve on horseback and. in. this group of mounted rangers say that cows have been spotted in the middle of

the park even though that's not allowed in. the animals need to be rounded up. even situations like these can easily escalate. from the grammys but who are under ethiopia seems such a peaceful country but there's quite a lot of conflict violent disputes are not uncommon that there's a strong conflict between using resources and the need to protect this department because it isn't politicians and the work is dangerous and by no means easy but it's also extremely important that's why the frankfurt zoological society finances the patrols equipment and operations. the parks wildlife often has to tolerate domesticated visitors this time horses are grazing alongside mt neon us. as reported

there are also cattle on the plane. the domesticated animals have to be captured this happens time and time again. the rangers skillfully herd them together there are even a few sheep. the livestock compete with wild animals for food they can also transmitted diseases. the intruders are not harmed just rounded up the cattle and sheep are extremely valuable for their owners the aim is to find an amicable solution for everyone. the rangers take the animals to a pen their owners can collect them after they pay

a fine. customs shank has arrived morning morning one. morning in the animals are still waiting to be reclaimed and. the livestock owner 1st has to pay his fine though it isn't too expensive. in the coastal shank and the staff do their best to explain why the park rules should be followed or fought for your children as well and also that is the conflict we are and will look at the being of the other negative money because we don't get any benefit from the parcel the only benefit is that with us water from the part of the new data ok it's important for the next generation but right now i don't get any better. from the arctic i mean if you switch it off i don't get

another one to. play the farmer is finally able to collect his animals this time everything went smoothly but others aren't always willing to comply. that. there are often english ways in its product we have just heard a farmer saying no we don't get any benefit from the park because the benefits aren't there are susceptible to or they might only become clear decades from now when the forest is gone and the water rushes through taking all the soil with it's a wash because that's what makes this so difficult at the end of the day there's no easy solution because once i get to lose a. game . on bali's high plateau hosts of lush plain flowers cover the ground.

it's also home to something else an extremely rare animal. the ethiopian wolf. it's the world's rarest species of canada. there are now only around $500.00 ethiopian wolves in the wild roughly half of them in ballarat the national park has become the bastion for the survival of the species. in the end the animals were once widespread in the ethiopian highlands but they've had to withdraw from humans more and more today they live and hunt at an altitude of 4000 metres.

can't retreat any higher and large tracts of the country have become virtually uninhabitable for them. rodents are the wolves preferred prey and there are some splendid specimens up here like the giant rat which can weigh up to a kilogram. ethiopian wolves hunt alone. but even up here in this remote part of our planet they still and counter domesticated animals. because the wolves aren't interested in cattle they don't come into conflict with the herders. but where there are cattle there are also dogs

and they can transmit diseases like rabies. one of the biggest problems the park administration has to deal with is the illegal settlements springing up in these last protective forests. the village every rock is located in the middle of the national park the 1st touch here were tolerated but then people continued to build despite a ban on further expansion. today reroute is a large permanent settlement around 500 families live here and it continues to grow . the welcome here isn't nearly as warm as it usually is in ethiopia has cost of shang wants to know how people today feel about the sanctuary.

many things for the future. we don't get anything for our future from the. conservationist once. we need better infrastructure like clean water and electricity. even if the dangers of environmental destruction are known there are simply more pressing concerns for people here problems that need solutions today the benefits of keeping forests intact may take decades to be felt there is a lot of convincing to be done. along the. front for people conservation people and we have to find solutions. for the people and for the forest but it's very clear. the mood remains tense even though such discussions are

vital because everyone here depends on a functioning ecosystem a system that provides clean water and keeps the soil in the fields. coast of saying now wants to get a report on the situation in the lowlands he goes to visit the head of the bonnet mountain conservation project. nettles immediately explains how critical the situation is in the lowlands he has video from the border area between southern ethiopia and somalia this huge region is home to 12000000 people who are dependent on water from the ballad mountains but more and more often the water isn't flowing. livestock can survive long periods of drought and when the animals die people lose their source of food and income the rural population is being hit hardest some river beds are bone dry.

several factors are at play environmental degradation climate change and constant population growth the overall. dulled is that people can no longer feed themselves . would be a good they become dependent on help from the outside and when people no longer have enough to live on they're forced to leave. new month for best comes on i'm out on no one likes to leave their homeland but what's happening here is the start of a huge migration flow that could reach as far as europe so investments in conservation and in the mountains water system vital it's a much better investment than having to face big problems later on in the form of huge waves of refugees you see conflicts. in order to stay

people need prospects and they can't be founded on the destruction of nature. one such opportunity is growing coffee plant flourishes amid the alpine forests. the wild growing coffee plant originates in ethiopia no wonder the country has a long coffee drinking tradition it's always prepared fresh and instead of a quick cup on the go there's an elaborate ceremony involved. from ethiopia coffee conquered the world today it's an industry worth billions but farmers here don't see much of the profits. me in. any store and you know paul if i buy coffee at a bargain price from a discount store in europe only

a tiny part of the money goes to the coffee farmer it's important for coffee farmers to be paid a decent price was otherwise they switch to illegal farming they clear trees and grow coffee in the national parks like here in the mountains of course. that's disastrous so in a global sense bargain prices are actually no bargain at all and. in fact money can be earned from coffee that's why illegal cultivation is flourishing . once again the park rangers are on patrol they come across an illegal logging camp wood is in high demand for construction or as fuel for cooking and heating. the rangers spot something else coffee what looks like a natural clearing is an illegal coffee plantation in the rain forest coffee grows well in the shade of the forest canopy the undergrowth has been completely cleared

to make way for the plantation. was turned off and in part will come from the villages and plant coffee bushes in the park they wait 3 or 4 years for the bushes to ripen and then harvest them but they also come to clear the vegetation 2 or 3 times a year as that has a big effect and it's illegal to retain. the rangers make sure there won't be any coffee harvested here. another source of income is found in the tree tops only brave and skillful climbers like is male abdul qadeer can reach these giddy heights he uses a sophisticated technique to work his way up using ropes that he tightens with his own body weight he often climbs to a height of 30 meters all without professional climbing equipment or protective gear. and this is his livelihood is

male abdul qadeer is a beekeeper. he 1st has to drive the bees away with smoke. they can be incredibly aggressive. he's placed around 50 beehives in the tree tops up here he says these are more likely to accept the hives and they're harder for honey badgers to reach. if all goes well he can harvest from each beehive twice a year but for that to be possible the bees need lots of flowers and a florist in forest only then will they produce enough honey for him. it's a tough job but it provides an income that fits with the interests of the national

park. today's clime has yielded 3 kilograms of honey and around 100 beast hangs these days he hardly notices them for the out of the novel and this is my job i go to the money on my side of iraq. i buy them where that is for my children for school the. because for everything. living sustainably with the forest can work but many people are seeking more opportunities for development. and when the population growth is also putting pressure on the system children grow up to establish families of their own and everyone wants a better future but how best to achieve that is conservation the way to meet those needs. in the trough version shocking linda you'd think that in developing

countries like haiti opiah the most important thing would be to build schools hospitals roads to develop markets altitude but unless we succeed in conserving nature and the climate and the water supply none of that will be needed. because people will no longer be living where they live today probably incredible shortly. the situation in the bala mountains is an example of a dilemma affecting many regions of africa there's too little space for both wildlife and humans and. the battle over the last remaining natural areas is getting more intense. competition for dwindling resources is growing. that's why illegal settlements continue to spread in the national park in places

where just a short time ago there was nothing but dense rain forest. endangered species have nowhere to go. in many places they live on virtual islands amid a sea of destruction. ethiopia is home to unique creatures found nowhere else on earth. if they were to disappear the world would keep turning but the loss of any single species shows that ecosystems are no longer functioning as they should. and the fundamentals of clean water fresh air and fertile soil are things that we humans depend on to.

is d w news live from berlin germany closes borders against contagious coronavirus varian's the country stops traffic crossing from parts of austria and the czech republic after a surge in cases on this doorstep the european union says the travel ban is a step too far we'll hear from our correspondent at one of the new checkpoints also on the show shining a light on russia's political crackdown flash mobs hold flash live protests across russia to show support for opposition leader alexei now vali and others who've been

imprisoned there braving icy weather and threats of arrest. i'm married to evan steyn thanks for joining me germany has banned the travel from parts of neighboring austria and the czech republic the restrictions are aimed at halting the spread of highly contagious variants of the corona virus which have been detected in several border regions the european union has criticized the travel shutdown which also has businesses and workers worried. little has gotten through this checkpoint at the austrian german border since early sunday many drivers were told to turn around commuters from the austrian state of to role were sent back unless they work in what has been deemed essential services

the same applies at the czech german border in the town of show ending plenty of drivers had to turn tail. we have also ensured that people can be tested who in theory would be allowed to enter germany but who do not possess the valid results of a covert 1000 test. and people seem understanding on the check side but many are still desperate some are even considering temporarily moving to germany they say poor communication is mostly to blame and if. there's no information we don't know a thing we drive to work tomorrow we have to go into quarantine. and. i'm having a hard time do i belong to the essential services sector will they allow me to cross over i don't know. when i thought about the movie but we need the work in to get tough without work if you have a family back home you have to pay for everything there's no plan

b. the czech commuters association has criticized by various officials for not informing czechia about the new rules it called that a lack of respect. minimal to matt but we won't let ourselves be forced to live in germany we're not german citizens we work there and we pay taxes there now the borders are closed again just like they were 30 years ago be at. that was when an iron curtain separated east and west today's reason the pandemic and a battle over case numbers covert $1000.00 restrictions in czechoslovakia and parts of austria are much less tight right now than in germany a good many to last in the us we can't allow that these severe measures limits in place here turn out to be for nothing the chairman people have been behaving in exemplary fashion but such cases and situations can seriously endanger things that's why we have border checks and why we're turning people back because i

believe that's necessary my diseased nor to be so in the german states of bavaria and saxony could issue new guidelines by tuesday exempting some sectors from the travel ban. well for more on the story correspondent barbara joins us now from sharon day which is a small bavarian town on the border with the czech republic good evening barbara so describe for us the situation today where you are with all of these new border controls. get this in conspicuous road here marianna is in fact one of the may crossing points between the czech reached here behind us with a lot of workers that work in all the supply industry on the other side on the german side are actually busy and they cross here every day for the whole region has about

90000 checked workers that's a substantial number today it was a sunday so it was of course relatively calm but people were crossing over here and trying to figure out what was happening there was a distinct lack of information would it companies who bakes grette for instance the lady who tried to cross the border be counted as an essential worker or not all this is still very unclear and so people are confused and the check people we talked to today were really confused and and sort of dumbfounded why is this happening to us so we didn't do anything wrong and we had testing every 2nd day in any case because that was already one of the rules here but so this will be completely closed and it will be harsh for the region now barbara the bavarian authorities have rejected the criticism of the newly introduced border checks what

have they been saying. now the european union it's just about 2 weeks ago their leaders decided that they wouldn't do this anymore that they wouldn't do just bought a closing so overnight and sort of let people in the dike. but what was happening and not talk to each other beforehand and figure out a strategy to make this viable but the bavarian sardi's have their own head and also it's a free election year of course so we have german elections in the fall and there is a certain amount of grandstanding going on of course the e.u. doesn't like this because this is not the only border region and the economic fallout of course is dire and we don't know how long this will last this can last for several weeks in fact. these work really cross purposes and it is not a very happy picture that you see here today. barbara theys own reporting

from the german town of standing which is near the czech border thank you so much. to russia now where supporters of jailed opposition leader alexei enough ali have held another day of protests over an ongoing crackdown against kremlin critics with authorities threatening to arrest those who defied a ban and demonstrations activists used flowers and flashlights to show their solidarity with the victims of political repression. as dusk fell the lights in the so-called flash flood protests went on across russia supporters of opposition figure head alexina volley switched on lights in a display of unity in the siberian city tomsk the protests motto love is stronger than fear shone down from the window of an apartment building. earlier in the day hundreds of russian women formed a human chain in central moscow this time to show solidarity for novell these wife

yulian of and other women who've become victims of the crackdown since his imprisonment here to this same message love is stronger than figo the women took this message to the streets despite threats of replications by the state. there was little if there actually knew i didn't used to protest i was scared and i'm scared now i don't know what consequences there will be but i'm more afraid about the thought that if i don't come out if others don't come out then everything will stay the same. we're against violence of any kind whether it's political violence or domestic violence that's why we're here for love the boys what's needed we need any sort of solidarity you know because alexina valley is the most well known political prisoner now some people forget that there are also a lot of women in this team who are also being persecuted for their political opinions and for their work. despite warnings from the authorities not to protest

today these women have come out to show they're not afraid and the flowers in their hands and their heart stickers show that they want to remain peaceful. that was d.w. moscow correspondent emily show in their full right let's turn our attention now to some of the other stories making news around the world the u.s. senate has acquitted donald trump after less than 2 thirds of members fails to vote to convict him at his 2nd impeachment he was being tried following the january 6th . storming of the u.s. capitol president joe biden urged americans to defend a fragile democracy. guinea has declared a new alberich of ebola with at least 3 people dying in a town near the liberian border it marks the 1st time the disease has emerged in the west african state since it ravaged the country from 2013 to 2016 of the already say boland has reached epidemic proportions western embassies in me and

a jail that they told us it was a school. you can't interview people here we've got many negative reports. because if the world from inside the chinese government to reach its goal the weaker as a kid gets people will be wiped out physically called as well as culturally. we're. taught here more to look at here is a university lecturer in germany for many years the only remaining link to his family have been a few academic texts books written by his father more telep sytycd eerie respected we go linguist and long standing member of the communist party it with hours and 17

years father suddenly disappeared but there it is accused him of spreading ethnic hatred. so the party has the right to decide who is a prefer. and who is a criminal i thought my father was a professor under research and he was hold working and so the party allowed him to do this work a lot another party has made him a criminal also you might remember. around that time china began the mass construction of prisons and reeducation camps and since young it's western most region according to estimates more than 1000000 wee goods and other minorities have been detained there this was the start of an unprecedented campaign against muslim minorities that would reach far beyond china's border complain that many in the u.s. government the genocide china claims it's merely combating extremism.

who 0 alone is an ethnic originally from she emigrated to kazakhstan but returned in 2017 to visit relatives at the border she was detained and sent to a camp for minorities in china's far west seen by beijing as restive were to be reeducated to become more chinese. clay made us repeat chinese words we didn't know if we forgot and they struck us with electric shock devices they came for i had said that the wounds were concealed by our hands and our husbands wouldn't notice late. here they would have been visible. we go to get a closer look at one of the camps where was us says she was detained following an international outcry china said the camps were vocational training centers and that most people had already graduated. the complex any meaning county was built in 2017 satellite imagery shows that security measures seem to have been subsequently

scaled back walls were replaced with fences the gate is closed but it doesn't look like a high security facility and most of the internees appear to be on the walk in orderly lines and africa before entering the building. told us that some of our fellow inmates have been sent to regular prisons on the outskirts of inning we find a high security complex with watch towers built around the same time. they were. both never stopped if you take pictures here we will have to take measures against you. was here our han is one of the few people who managed to leave china and talk about her ordeal besides psychological and physical torture she caused the detainees were routinely administered injections well local coming in a after the injection some women stopped having their periods they see western men

straight and not given just one pad which they had to use to 2 or 3 days we took quite a family about it we stopped being ashamed. 4th there is asian and birth control measures have led to a drop in birth rates among muslim minorities one of the reasons why observers say the repressive measures add up to genocide. people with ties abroad have been targeted in particular and since young i say mean was a shop owner selling imported foods and a lot of products today we meet him in a rented apartment in germany in 2015 he was returning home from a business trip to malaysia when he was stopped at the airport and taken to a detention center can they took me into a room there they sat me down at a metal table and they handcuffed my legs and my arms to them then they tightened the cuffs until i could no longer move those books all of them i stayed in this position for 2 days. of. he says he was never told why he was arrested

a suspect a month in detention his documents show that he was suspected of endangering state security then suddenly he was released under one condition he had to agree to work for state security. or i thought i just had to stay in touch with them but i didn't intend to really work for them again. after his father's detention to your criteria was no longer able to get in touch with his family now he has followed in his father's footsteps and teaches we go language and literature this semester he's teaching a class on we got pop music due to the pandemic is classes i had online. today's lesson is about europe one of syngenta most successful stars.

2 of his main themes one is love of one's homeland and the other thing you mentioned is the collective memory of the weakest. dissing up out of your past since disappeared as have korea's father and a large part of the week a cultural. i feel angry when to most but i try to control my emotions if you can and stay humane and peaceful. hometown cashcard the cultural capital of the many historic monuments have been restored transformed into a tourist attraction but inside the ancient city traditional life is under attack all the mosques have been closed some minarets removed prayer rooms now hold businesses the rooms dedicated to a blue sion have been turned into public toilets. one mosque was even turned into

a bar which since has been closed. after his detention a same in regularly met with a secret service agent who became his. handler was allowed to continue traveling abroad he says nothing specific was asked of him and he maintains that he has never informed against anyone but it's impossible to check these it's. about one year later he was detained again this time he was released with a specific request to spy on a young week in turkey. a cell left for istanbul where he defected and went public with his story then he received a phone call from his happen. in america he said so you've decided to appear on this cost and talk that you know the your family members are here in china look

on the stuff. since then many of his relatives have disappeared 5 siblings were arrested he says oldest brother was sentenced to 25 years in jail you cannot reach any of his relatives by phone it was fellow egos who passed on that having use. this law than. now the chinese government separated us forever. when life wasn't bad i was in good health not on doing all right financially but it was a happy life. an american colleague and i tried to visit the place where he lived we have followed closely and constantly harassed. the villages in the area seem to really empty many houses have been sealed by the earth or a cheese. before reaching ace's village we have stopped that would be. you

can't just walk around here and interview people the world is watching she and john there have been some negative reports. 18 months after his father's disappearance tell your criteria finally received word from him. looking old and frail he denied on video chat that he had been detained and said he had spent the last month in hospital. my son you must not believe these lies you must keep your mouth shut and publicly renounce the accusations you have made and clean up the dirt that you have left. this will be the best for us. it was yours it always makes me sad that he had to spend our entire conversation defending his abuses. in cosco we tried to visit tell you here is father he lives on the university campus as the police appear i say i want to meet but. we don't
