not these for sports, he rose. it was a slap in the face, but now we just have to fight there, mobilizing superpowers. i'm fired up and ready. count down during walk down the lucky go to tokyo, georgia july dw, the animal conservationists out and about and brazil's north east coast. there are creatures that live here that can only be found in a few other places on the landscape is breathtaking, but the conservationists have no time to favor it just now. they have the job to do to stop the environment here from changing even more due to human intervention.
9:31 pm
brazil's cause is sensitive and i'm just right. the really help me think when i was any my we are here to look for injured or dead creatures on the beach. it was a think when we find something, we try to understand what has happened to the animal. that way we can find out what we should do to protect 3 on wednesday. august to of yasmin is that he and his team aim to save every animal that gets into trouble on their stretch of the coast. like this bird. they found again it on the beach several months ago. it was completely exhausted. the team of biologists and animal care workers, gave it vitamins and fish to restore it. strength today is the birth big day. it's
9:32 pm
going to be set free again. it's a special occasion for the conservationists to the moment they have all been working towards ah, time to take off and fly to freedom. or maybe not. ah, ah ah, ah, ah, it looks as if this particular bird is unsure about leaving its human care is even a gentle prod, doesn't change that is that we still want to foss always
9:33 pm
get accustomed to captivity, but i'm not worried. we just have to be patient and wait until it feels safe and flies away. we will find the right moment to release it while the bird is fine, it could leave, but it doesn't want to sample me. it seems the scanner is not ready to turn down the hospitality of its care as just yet. the bed isn't the only foundling being looked after by the fatah seals, the cost of the banker project. based in the brazilian state of rio, graham g, the nazi the project is mainly focused on preserving these creatures seek out or amenities as they also they love the atlantic close to the equator where it's nice and warm. but these ones need some t, l. c. the
9:34 pm
project searches the beaches, formalities that have been stranded, caught in nets. they fly both or injured by illegal hunters. it brings the marine animals that here and looks after them. often it takes several years before they're strong enough to be released back into the while. so what do you mean if i keep saying the less contact we have with them, the more likely it is that the creatures will recover and heal quickly all that way we avoid them getting to use to people. they sit in my floor, which wouldn't be good once they are free again, it's all for a fee for the fee, with the feeding bottle we have developed, we can feed them without touching them. they said i may be so carries any my life in a few years, baby amenities, only drink milk,
9:35 pm
and the vet d i y construction works, treat this young animal her skin. it probably lays stranded in the sun for hours before residents found it and contacted the se tassels. project. sun like seals seek house, don't go online, so they don't have a protective very pell before. if they do stray onto a beach, they're mercilessly exposed to the some though you any more affordable here. his condition was critical for 60 days. but now he's out of the dangerous. maybe he's stable and there is a very good chance of him returning to his natural habitat at some point to show that you have with us all by then the severe burn will have long. he because this manatee is still young and without a mother,
9:36 pm
it will be another 2 to 3 years before it can survive out in the open sea. and on the following morning, we accompany the teens on a daily beach to us. one had self, the other knew. together they take some 100 kilometers, a coastline every day. oh, good to go. the option says there is a 100 percent chance of finding injured or dead animals every single day. at 1st blown the environment here may still appear, rawlings but much has changed. ah, especially over the last 30 years, there's been a loss of development of hotels, industry. and so, ah,
9:37 pm
that will be sad. you can. these artificial saucepans have destroyed the mangrove that used to live in the river. a lot more stuff. the manatees used to give birth to their young and the mangrove. it was a place with enough food and fresh water where the manatees could feed their babies undisturbed in the cold water, and also find enough food for themselves. equal preference. ah, it doesn't take long before the conservationists do come across a dead creature. the sea turtle, if there's no external signs of home from the way it's lying, with sand, from the heading tide under its head, it must have been washed in on the high tide is sign it died in the sea and not on the beach, says biologist. jean paul no. do you know how the creature died?
9:38 pm
often made a visa. it's always hard to say at 1st sight. no more. but with the examination possibilities that we have here on the beach, we will soon be able to find out more. they will have to open it up and take a look at it or get them off. the auto see attracts on lucas. now, i think that's the fan of very, very fast the. i was out walking here. it's the 1st time i see a dead turtle. yeah, it's a loss for nature. out of here i came over because i saw people here. i wanted to find out what was happening. i saw a dead turtle the last time i was here to them. i think that it's due to environmental pollution back when i said the following. this to actually didn't die as a result of pollution. it's stomach contents are normal and it has no visible injuries
9:39 pm
or illnesses. the scientists are going to take the organs and tissue samples to the lab, but they're fairly confident that this turtle drowned inefficient. and just a few meters away. they find these fishing contraptions to capture fish or shellfish in which aquatic creatures that need to surface to breathe also regularly get caught. and throughout the debate, augustine, whoever yards him is going to visit one of his former patients, amenities that he looked up to for years, which is almost ready to be released into the one that that's there. amanda olivera and ought to barbosa from the quasi project. come in, i thought she's getting on very well here. she's eating the vegetables that we give
9:40 pm
her, and she also likes to see grass that you'll find later in the see not but i. the manatees have been kept in small pools to prepare for the world. they need to get a taste for the sea again, but the reintroduction must be gradual. who's to this? and the biologists have created a floating tooth 100 meters. actual 3 managers are currently waiting here to be set free. ah, well, the scientists might have trouble guessing they see legs. the floating construction allows the animals to get used to the waves and the water and they have to learn to feed themselves. to simulate sea grass, some of the letters is pushed into heavy pipes. so that it sinks to the sea floor
9:41 pm
where the man, as he can practice grazing a 500 kilos, seek out, devoured about 50 kilos of plant matter a day or so. before we released the animals into the wilderness, we have to see whether they can feed themselves properly and drink water on their own and see if they're seeking less interaction with humans. we had to be the only visual that tells us whether they've gotten to the stage where they can survive and see faster, but also florida. they didn't know how many weeks the process will take. this is the 1st time they've used the floating pool to reintroduce the creatures to the while. once they're ready, the amenities will swim up into the atlantic in the service. the result i said you might want to call me when we released the animals. they're given
9:42 pm
a gps bill that allows us to track them. one of them is already finished with a belt to try it out. based on the data transmitted to us, we'll be able to see where the animal is, how far it swims out into the see. if it find in a food and whether it's joined up with other manatee, a lot of my country this allows the team to see whether the many years of care pays off. if one more of this endangered species survives in the seas of brazil. mm. specials, beautiful coast naturally also attract tourists. small example, show that tourism and animal conservation can go together. janitta the phil that takes visit his allison, his boat to where the seek house
9:43 pm
a year ago. the fisherman didn't know a lot about the animals. apart from the fact that his parents once hunted and 8th them on the mia, i just was the, when the coven pandemic started, i was still a fisherman, but i was selling less and less fish. more then i noticed that the man and he came to the same places at the same time. i used this knowledge and started taking tourists. they're very office now. this is my work. i don't, you don't to day he's able to tell his passengers the most about the animals, for instance, that they are related to elephant, even though they're known as seek house. that they can survive for 6 months without food and love warm water, which is why they are only to be found in the topic. and that they can remain under water for up to 15 minutes. i can see them already where almost there.
9:44 pm
he also tells his visit his that manage he's are at risk even though humans, other predators. janine, to serve analyses himself as a conservationist, as he's raising awareness. it makes me want to learn more about manatees and locals can stand their villages because they have work. thanks to the animals. young talk, a lot of it's an amazing trip. the animals are in danger of dying out. and this is a real conservation area where they can give birth to their young and p experience birthday. i had never seen them entity before, and i'm impressed by how huge they are. i've learned something i was the seasonal. this is the pie as runker on the other hand on top to terror. they're here to catch green patch or macro, the. they killed fish that miguel the silver
9:45 pm
deputy chairman of the fishes union in prior. but since that the environment is very important to them. after all, their business depends on the health of the see have you caught anything yet? not so far. his colleagues replying, fishing has gotten harder. he tells us that john gotta the name for the little boat used to catch 200 kilograms officially. what the amount of nowadays? $20.00 to $30.00 today the sea is con. light winds and waves that are a meter high at most. nevertheless, we haven't had any luck with us. i would say we're not going to find any fish today . it's a poor day for our 3 votes. vocal prescott. luckily being in the union means that they said they profits and the 2nd on gotta have more knock.
9:46 pm
miguel says a lot has changed here. they used to be less noise. no cove and no beach front houses. he thinks that's why they're catching few fish these days. fishes are often the 1st to notice changes the long because the best that we can hardly live from what we catch anymore. factory farming is also responsible for that. many colleagues now work in that sector. you can earn more than with our traditional way efficient with me. but in brazil, people try to stay optimistic and at least they can still catch enough fish to feed their families. true fishing won't make them rich, but they cherish their freedom. in the past,
9:47 pm
everyone here used to make their living from fishing or foaming. today the fishes feel they are no longer respected and environmental catastrophe in 2019. how many that home and all those salad, 2000 kilometers of coastline, including here, where they had me. they say the authorities responded far too slowly. but i'm not for myself. are beach here in rio grande? do not. she was the worst hit. the reese were completely covered in oil that made her life very difficult because everyone thought her fish had been contaminated. okay. when they are, the prices still haven't recovered. like boston won't be the 1st clumps of oil were washed onto the beach in september 2019. no one knew whether or
9:48 pm
was coming from and it just got worse and worse. hundreds of features were effected for month residents trying to remove the oil. and they related joined by state employees. but it kept on washing in god. many marine creatures lost their life. so all this god, there wasn't again follow about whether we still don't know who was responsible for the catastrophe. some say it was a venezuelan oil tank. all yet, there was others, say, brazilian, off shore oil rigs are to blame the way it obviously the beats looks clean now, but only at 1st glance. back in the ugly oil from 2019 just won't go away. it's still sticking to the stone.
9:49 pm
it'll take a long time before that disappears and this will remain here every high time loosened the oil a bit and it ends up on the beach or on the sea bed. my friend in. 6 scientists are still trying to find out who caused the pollution what? hello. are you taking sample? yes, we're analyzing the sand. very oily. yes. in the small mangrove swamp over there and on the c bed with the keys. we have so much technology, but we still don't know who is responsible for leoni mendez is a cbo, just from the federal university of rio grande. you do not see she's researching the impact of the oil catastrophe on the coast. i just don't
9:50 pm
like it, but all the oil is still here exerting its influence, even in the places where it's no longer visible the device over time, the particles get smaller and smaller and can be absorbed by the ecosystem. i, sam, by plants and animals. the leon, the mendez and her assistant regularly collect carl samples to these sensitive creatures have also been contaminated and they see a long term damage bank. plenty a job. we profit in so many areas from natural resources. what we lack is a good plan about how to use them without irrevocably exploiting them. we have to protect resources at the same time, find a balance between youth and conservation bank they viewed the plan is to the
9:51 pm
1000 kilometer further south. the beach also looks clean again despite the recent order. this is the tomato project in by here, which is dedicated to the protection of theater, to the inquisitive paddlers spend their life in the big pools so that visitors can learn about them. denise, the mora is preparing to act as midwife. about 100 turtle eggs have been incubated here in the sand for about 50 days. and the eggs always all hatch at the same time. the own. i love the little ones. they're so cute. we should realize how important it is to
9:52 pm
protect them. now it really pains me to know that they often end up needing plastic because of the last school little reptiles way in just 20 grams. each one of them is locked and then of course it to the c. normally the 1st l isn't the life of the turtle, are the most dangerous ones. they civil tammy is hatching. is a survival tactic. if a loss of baby to run across the sand together, at least a few will managed to dodge predatory birds of fish once they've got to the,
9:53 pm
to the head out into the open sea for 2 days. biologist, this deanna ma datas tells us, got them. you know that, that we estimate that out of a 1000, only one or 2 animals will actually grow to maturity. they stand a big danger being eaten in their 1st stages of life and it's nature. that's why so many hats out there, part of the oceans, food chain, something. the turtles arrive at by beach to lay their eggs in december, january and february, brazil, summer months, luciana mo, data and denise motor check this section every other night. it doesn't take long for them to find the 1st turtle. she has already dug her nest and begun to lay 102120 eggs. divided has seized the opportunity to measure and mark the turtle. thanks to this method,
9:54 pm
scientists were able to prove that turtles keep returning to the beach where they were born. the over doesn't matter when a turtle lazy eggs, it's as if it's in the tram there oblivious to everything around them. but also to the fact that we're here by the colette, those you might, that's why we can do our work without disturbing them. telephone message drove off but only until she covers over the nest taps down the sun cools back toward the water. the turtle is guided by the night crests of the breaking waves, bright light from street cars or houses which is oriented her, and she would no longer find her way back to the sea.
9:55 pm
recount some $12000.00 nes, on her section of the coastline every year. that's proof that this species is making a fantastic recovery here. and it's great confirmation of what we're doing to save this endangered species. me, people can now live side by side with make sure the presence of the conservationist has stopped the plundering of the turtles mess. and restaurants no longer serve turtle eggs, residents are increasingly learning to respect the animals and she got me, jackie, fishers used to make their living hunting turtles, since the people from tamara project got here, we have learned that we have to protect the turtles. he thank you, like many other animals in brazil, the turtles are in danger of extinction. but here in, by here somewhere,
9:56 pm
mainly because of the project conservation is working well about the project film on your washing. kiana is and all countries have to do their bit. it is not just brazil's responsibility on your nature belongs to everyone. and that's why we all have to help with environmental protection is to preserve nature as riches. and above all, the brazilian estimates because of ation is, can know how much they need the help of people from the surrounding villages. and they've turned many into committed environmental antonio mendez is the best turtle tracker, full and wide. it's his job to find the hidden ness. and he's been doing that for 35 years. he has seen many turtle moms to be returning to his beach time and time again. after their journey across the atlantic. some of them travel
9:57 pm
all the way to the west coast of africa. mm. oh, he just said he would recognize his old friends, even without me every one of these people who has dedicated their lives to the brazilian coast and screeches has a unique perspective on what they're doing. i'm not valuable and i used to eat turtle. and today they give me work and a salary to live with me. so i would like sea turtle to feel at home in their habitat again. and at some stage that they'll no longer be want to be endangered species. that is my mission. i am a live the we
