these places in europe are smashing the records the death into a ball. they puncher the treasure map for modern globetrotters. just cover some of your exit record breaking on. do you too. and now also in book form the animal conservationists and about north east coast. there are creatures that live here that can only be found in a few other places and the landscape is breathtaking. but the conservationists have no time to favor it just now. they have a job to do to stuff the environment here from changing even more due to human
8:31 am
intervention. the brazil coast is sensitive and i'm just right. the really help me think what i was anyway. we are here to look for injured or dead creatures on the beach. it was basic 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 the patients are going to be as him as a bag. he and his team aim to save every animal that gets into trouble on their stretch of the coast. like this bird, they found the gannett on the beach several months ago. it was completely exhausted . the team of biologists and animal care workers gave it veterans and fish to restore strength. today is the birth big day. it's going to be set free again.
8:32 am
it's a special occasion for the conservationists to the moment they have all been working towards ah, the time to take off and fly to freedom or maybe not. 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 we're still want
8:33 am
to floss always on birds 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 into the wild. hope the bird is fine now it could leave, but it doesn't want to be your thoughtful. ah, 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 city seals, the cost of brown car project based in the brazilian state of rio grande g denotie. the project is mainly focused on preserving these creatures see count or amenities as they're also cool. they love the atlantic close to the equator where it's nice and warm. but these ones need some t, l. c. the
8:34 am
project searches the beaches. formalities that have been stranded, caught in nets. they 5 boats or injured by legal hunters. it brings the marine animals back here and looks after them. often it takes several years before they are strong enough to be released back into the wire. what do you mean if i keep saying the less contact we have with them that 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 foot, which wouldn't be good once they are free again, it's all for a fee for the with the feeding bottle we have developed. we can feed them without touching them. they said maybe so calories, any mice in a few years, baby amenities, only drink milk, and the very
8:35 am
d i y construction works a treat this young animal his skin. it's probably lay stranded in the sun 4 hours before residents found it and contacted the se, tassels project son like field seek house, don't go on land. so they don't have a protective ferry pelt, or if they do stray onto a beach, they're mercilessly exposed to the some though you any more, we thought fordable, he's, his condition was critical for 60 days. but now he's out of the dangerous. 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,
8:36 am
it will be another 2 to 3 years before it can survive out in the open sea alone. on the following morning, we accompany the teens on the daily beach took one hand, so the other no. together they take some 100 kilometers a pipeline every day. oh, good to go over. ya. sion says there is 100 percent chance of finding injured or dead animals every single day. at 1st loans, the environment here may still appear but must have changed. ah, especially of the last 30 years, there's been a lot of development of hotels industry. and so, ah,
8:37 am
that will be sad. you can, these artificial songs, pans have destroyed the mangrove that used to line the river. a lot of my stuff, the manatees used to give birth to their young in the mangrove. it was a place with enough food and fresh water, where the manatees could feed their babies undisturbed in the calm waters, and also find enough food for themselves. you prefer me? ah, it doesn't take long before the conservation do come across a dead creature. a sea turtle. if there's no external signs of home from the way it's lying, with sand, from the tide to under its head, it must have been washed in on the high tide as sign it died in the sea and not on the beach, says biologist, gene piano. do you know how the creature dive often
8:38 am
made a visa? it's always hard to say at 1st sight not more, but with the examination possibilities that we have here on the beach. we will soon be able to find out more that we'll have to put it up and take a look at it or get them off. the auto fee attracts onlookers. now i think that's the fan of very, very fussy. i was out walking here. it's the 1st time i see a dead turtles. it's a loss for nature. lamarche. nobody out of here i came over because i saw people here. i wanted to find out what was happening. i saw dead turtle the last time i was here to them. i think that it's due to environmental pollution back when i said the police and this to actually didn't die as a result of pollution. it's stomach contents are normal and it has no visible
8:39 am
injuries 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 in a fishing net. then just a few meters away, they find these fishing contraptions to catch her fish or shellfish in which are classic creatures that need to surface to breathe. also regularly get caught and throw the bit o go still bu viaz m is going to visit one of his former patients, amenities that he looked after for years, which is almost ready to be released into the one that's there. amanda olivera and auto barbosa. from the quasi project come in capital, she's getting on very well here. she's eating the vegetables that we give her and
8:40 am
she also likes the grass that she'll find later in the fee not, but i. 1 the manatees have been kept in small pools to here for the wild. they need to get a taste for the sea again. but the reintroduction must be gradual. to this and the diode, it just kept created it floating to 100 meters, actual free manatees are currently waiting here to be set free. ah, well, the scientists might have trouble getting, 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 pines. so that it sinks to the sea floor
8:41 am
where the man, if he can, practise grazing. a $500.00 kilos, seek out, devoured about 50 kilos of plant matter a day. before the phone said, 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. for him to be the only visual that tells us whether they've gotten to the stage where they can survive and see everything. but i thought 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 to manage, these will swim off into the atlantic in the service. so you might just tell me when we released the animals, they're given
8:42 am
a gps that allows us to track them. one of them is already fitted 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 finds enough food, and whether it's joined up with other amenities. a lot of this allows the team to see whether the many years of care pays off. if one more of this endangered species survived from the seas of brazil. mm. beautiful. naturally also attract tourists. small example, show that tourism and animal conservation can go together. geneva. so that takes visit his alpha miss boats to where the seek house
8:43 am
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 set up on me. i just was, when the coven pandemic started, i was still a fisherman, but i was selling less and less fish. you know, then i noticed that the manatee came to the same places at the same time. i used this knowledge and started taking tourists there, especially now. this is my work. i don't, i don't to day he's able to tell his passengers a lot about the animals. for instance, that they are related to elephants, even though they're known as seek house. that they can survive for 6 months without food and love warm water, which is one of the only to be found in the topic. and that they can remain under water for up to 15 minutes. i can see them already, we're almost there. he also tells his visit his that manage. he's are at risk even
8:44 am
though humans are they own predators. janine or the server now sees himself as a conservationist, as his 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. 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 say, i had never seen a manatee before, and i'm impressed by how huge they are. i've learned something i read the seasonal. this is a prior runker on the other hand of the tourist. they're here to catch green patch or macro, the. they kill fish. but miguel, the silver,
8:45 am
the deputy chairman of the union in bunker says 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. it's used to catch 200 kilograms. officially. the amount of nowadays is 20 to 50, easy to day the sea is calm, light winds and waves that are a meter high at most. nevertheless, we haven't had any luck. we're not going to find any fish today. it's a poor day for our 3 votes. that book of prescott luckily being in the union means that they said their profits and the 2nd john gotta had more luck.
8:46 am
miguel says a lot has changed here. they used to be less noise, no cove and no expand houses. he thinks that's why they're catching few fish these days. fishes are often the 1st to notice changes along the coast. 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 and mystery out 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,
8:47 am
everyone here used to make their living from fishing or foaming. today the fishes feel they are no longer respective and environmental catastrophe in 2019 hammett that home and also sally, 2000 kilometers of coast, including here where their heart is. they say the authorities responded far too slowly. but i'm not for myself that are beach here in rio grande. you didn't, she was the worst hit. the reefs were completely covered in oil that made our life very difficult because everyone thought our fish had been contaminated, does not. okay. when they are, the prices still have inter covered by like boss and want to do the 1st clumps of oil were washed on to the beach in september 2019. no one knew whether or was coming from and it just got worse and worse. hundreds of beaches were effected
8:48 am
for months. residents tried to remove the oil and they related joined by state employees. but it kept on washing in got many marine creatures lost their life in order to keep this all what i thought god was in again about the way that we still don't know who was responsible for the catastrophe. some say it was a venezuelan oil tank, that, that all, yes, it was in the others say, brazilian, off shore oil rigs are to blame. either way, getting the beats looks clean, now that only at 1st glance, back into the ugly oil from 2019 just won't go away. it's still sticking to the
8:49 am
stone. it'll take a long time before that disappears. and this will remain here every high time, loosens the oil a bit. and it ends up on the beach or on the see bit more about that give accident in the fuel scientist. so still trying to find out who caused the pollution hello. hello. are you taking samples? yes, we're analyzing the sand. it's still very oily. yes. in the small mangrove swamp, over there, and on the see best. we have so much technology, but we still don't know who is responsible for leoni mendez is a c biologist from the federal university of rio grande. do not see she's researching the impact of the oil catastrophe on the coast.
8:50 am
i just saw a key. but all the oil is still here exerting its influence, even in the places where it's no longer visible on so many devices over time, the particles get smaller and smaller and can be absorbed by the ecosystem. ice sam by plants and animals, emphasis damages the leon niemen gas and her assistant regularly collect carl samples to these sensitive creatures have also been contaminated and they feel a long term damage. fit 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 out and conservation bank. they give the flemish ma'am to the
8:51 am
1000 kilometers service. the beach also looks clean again, despite the recent orosco. ah, this is the tomorrow project in by here, which is dedicated to the protection of sea turtle. the inquisitive paddlers spend their lives from the big pools so that visitors can learn about them. then easy, mora is preparing to act as midwife. about 100 turtle eggs have been incubated here in the sun for about 50 days. and the eggs always all hatch. at the same time. the i love the little ones. they're so cute. the case that we should realize how important it is to
8:52 am
protect them. now it really pains me to know that they often end up needing plastic because of the plastic the little red tiles weigh in just 20 grams. each one of them is locked and then it's quarter to the sea. normally the 1st alice and the life of the turtle are the most dangerous ones. there's some tiny hatching is a survival tactic. if a lot of baby turtles run across the sand together, at least a few will manage to dodge predatory birds of fish, once they've got to the,
8:53 am
to the head out into the open sea for 2 days. biologist, piano data tells us 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 its nature. that's why so many hats out there, part of the oceans, food chain. the turtles arrive at the beach to lay their eggs in december, january, and february, brazil, summer months, luciana, date us and denise the 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. devoted to seize the opportunity to measure and mark the turtle. thanks to this method,
8:54 am
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 egg, it's as if it's in the tram. they are oblivious to everything around them, but also to the fact that we're here by the last, you must, that's why we can do our work without disturbing them. telephone message is but only until she covers over the nest taps down the sand and crawls back toward the water. the turtle is guided by the night crest of the breaking waves. bright life from street life, cars or houses with his oriented her. and she would no longer find her way back to the sea,
8:55 am
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 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. you thank you. like many other animals in brazil, the turtles are in danger of extinction. but here in, by here,
8:56 am
we're mainly because of the project conservation is working well. the project film on your washing cannot do it is in 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 the conservationist can know how much they need the help of people from the surrounding villages. and they've turned many into committed environment. and 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
8:57 am
all the way to the west coast of africa. mm. oh, he just said he would recognize his old friends even without they've had me every one of these people who have dedicated their lives to the brazilian coast and the creatures has a unique perspective on what they're doing. really not valuable. and i used to eat turtle, and today they give me work and a salary to live with aladdin. nobody got me. so i would like sea turtle to feel at home in their habitat again. and at some stage that the no longer be one of the endangered species. that is my mission, live the
