sustainable solutions to improve the living conditions in the place they call home . pan had barely come and gone when help arrived in the sunderbans. volunteers from the quarantine students network set up pumps to expel the salt water that had collected in the fish ponds. the immediate aim of the emergency assistance was to enable locals to return to fish farming and also prevent an outbreak of disease. health and hygiene are seriously destructive here and need to be restored stagnant water is dangerous as it can lead to gastro intestinal diseases as well as skin conditions and then there is the often ignored issue of snake bite the snake bite. this fish farmer however no longer sees a future here for herself and her family. and what can we do we are dependent on relief now once the lockdown is lifted we will have to leave this in

their bones to find work there is nothing left here. this in advance is home to 4000000 people it's located in the delta formed by the confluence of the brahmaputra ganges and magna rivers and has a unique ecosystem but the region is frequently hit by storms it took years for the residents to recover from cyclon iowa in 2009 before being devastated again in may of this year. i knew as at least relieved at this time his home was not destroyed by supercycle and his family also survived and hers. were given to the family lives in a part of the same divans where a large section of protective levees has been erected. i was. greeted by comments of already been built inside julia and lara poorly these areas have traditionally face tremendous damage due to psych loans and it was surprisingly this time they were saved because william. next to our religion rang

a bell. which used to suffer a lot because of the storms but this time the concrete embankments have saved the day. it's been 11 years since the indian government decided to build the cinder vans and by humans but just 5 kilometers have been completed to date that section withstood the recent storms and also proved useful for transporting emergency aid so people here now have construction will continue at a faster pace the tico society for rural development is an ngo that's been helping local residents since the 1970 s. . on. the lives of the people in the stelter always hanging on a thread. so no one really knows what danger awaits them and their last. cycling's are unpredictable and they will get worse we need to be properly prepared

by quins our best bet. but the embankment still can't stop the salt water from getting into the fields fallen neil knows he has to adapt by farming his land differently. in some of his fields he's now planted more durable plants. we're going to. go now an organization based in delhi helps us with farming certain pulses can grow even in storm prone areas where salt water frequently enter i do not want to be done i will not go along with the last 5 years we've been growing a range of lentils and pulses across $200.00 hectares. because this can prove to be more sustainable for cycling prone regions like ours. the future of the people living in the center buns will depend on how quickly they can change which crops they plant and how and how soon the embankments can be completed because the

cyclons will return with growing frequency and intensity. when faced with the natural calamity not only humans but animals need support to survive to female orangutans for example breeds and produce only 45 offspring stored in their lifetime. the younger offspring. of the wife and animal welfare project in sumatra even during the pandemic is teaching these. kids to do just that. humans have to keep their distance from a ring of things to even at lunch time. because both species are at risk of contracting the new coronavirus. these are running a tangs are under lockdown and have had to stay in their cages for months.

this is yellow school if. you can train them. financial system to get them for it so we bring in the forest for them so it's like. right. and all this for us. so they can learn that it's their meals are delivered wrapped in leaves so they have to figure out how to get the food useful practice when they're later released into the wild. cages or disinfected twice a day. hygiene is of crucial importance. the teams who care for the animals rotate every 3 weeks before they start work staff have their temperature taken another coronavirus precaution they shot the video for this report themselves we talked to the head of the project by video call. or we're going to talk.

to my long time d.n.a. is 97 percent identical to the out of humans so they're extremely susceptible to all our diseases especially those affecting the risperidone tract. you know that's the main reason why we've imposed such a strict quarantine to make sure there's no transmission of a virus replicating in humans to a population in the wild. it would probably have no immunity atoll to such a virus. the effects could be devastating. has been reporting on this project for years 3 aim is to prepare a rang a tank for survival in their natural jungle habitat in the. rain forest in central sumatra. many were rescued as orphans often held captive as pets

under terrible conditions they had forgotten or had never learned how to move through the tree tops forage for food and build nests their keepers at the jungle school teach them all these skills usually out in the forest itself. i rang a tings enjoy piggy back ride many of them don't like to walk much this was before the coronavirus pandemic. so no exercises in the forest for now even though they have so much to learn things. probably the most important item on the curriculum a jungle school is learning about fruit trees what they look like and when they bear fruit. in which season or in which years. in order to survive every rung in town has to develop a 4 dimensional map in their heads covering space and time it takes time to learn all the but we've had to suspend the learning process where the trees and when do

they bear fruit as the iranian towns have to stay in their cages. the lockdown can only be relaxed once the pandemic has been contained this is not good for the animals their fitness deteriorates and they become bored even the not the best preconditions for release and survival in the wild. those that have already been set free currently lead better lives keepers go on patrol to check on them and provide extra food if need be. here to social distancing applies. or. yes for sure. they. are all right. the school is located in the book of who rain forest and releases its graduates

there it's a very remote location. so should any around at things here catch the coronavirus they won't pass it on to other ones in the wild. what's more they tend to be naturally self isolating creatures anyway and don't hang out in big groups. the team faces the challenge of protecting their wards from possible infection while also training them for release. this video was shot a couple of years ago there is no guarantee that a self-sustaining population will emerge here again over the past half century 80 percent of the region's rain forests have been cut down to make way for vast plantations. on our last visit paid to pa to stress the importance of saving the forest and teaching the orangutans survival skills. and you. if the orangutans are able to survive here then all the other animals in the

rainforest animal community will be to the tigers elephants and old the other species that's why it's so important to protect them. the number of covert 1000 cases among humans in indonesia continues to rise. the project has a back up plan if the lockdown goes on for too long it will release its a ragged tang's into the wild before they've completed their schooling but will then provide them with longer term support out in the forest it's that way the iraqi tanks will be able to settle and have offspring and their numbers can grow until the threat of extinction here is banished. i hope you had many takeaways from to be assured especially that i'm all those hillsides needed truly how to tell me nation to live an environmentally sustainable life i'll see you again next week until then good bye.
