ah, discover the world around you. subscribe to w documentary on youtube. ah ah . millions of species spatially at our planet, but it's no secret which one dominates them all from crowded cities to isolated. restless, we've all sorted out of poverty over nature in the drive for development eco in yesterday. explosive ways. we can co exist with the natural world of which we are inseparable, but hello,
5:31 pm
welcome. i'm funded that around the globe. cities are expanding beyond their boundaries to accommodate a growing population. when other nice ation encroaches on the natural habitat of wild animals. be me put up a fight to survive in delhi aggressive monkeys, have been bullying residents for years. no. authorities and conservationists are divided on how best to get the upper hand. ah, india's capital new delhi has a problem with a monkey problem from downtown business district to residential neighborhoods. gangs of marauding monkeys terrorized people going about their daily lives. in
5:32 pm
columbia colony in ne delhi, a resident was taken care of her baby when a troop of 12 knocks burst into her home. pretty little kitty. no my know what you did were busy. i press my 9 month old daughter against me, and i pretended to sleep the walk up, not only for nick acting, but the monkeys surrounded me. all that happened now. well, then, the nod jostled that they surrounded man started biting me. jonathan was again on my back my shoulders, my thighs at everywhere. it would have as they appear to be now, but they bit me on my stomach to thought age of up the car together. big movie nature. sh. no one knows how many pounds you're on the city. what's clear is that the primary can live issue with more than 950 tags reported at last count in 2018. over the years, their numbers of increased steadily. our development that's gone hand in hand with
5:33 pm
the rapid growth in daily's human population, the loss of their natural habitat to make room for people industrious and farming is part of the probably jungle in the wrong. they need have been decimated, especially in the region here over now though metro lina's coming, we had recommended the major line be actually taken under ground but are despite or lie of foot. the deer marcy insists on having it over the land, which would mean thousands of genes being got once here encroached upon their police. how can we blame them from encroaching upon us? not only residents, the monkeys as a menace. the animals are reviewed by hindus, as descendants of the monkey, god, 101. as a result, people handled bananas and scraps fueling their population explosion. my mom told me that i believe it's possible that they have the power of god. we pray to them as part of praying to our hindu deities, thousands of temples devoted to them, and everybody price to them. if you see in while there is a scarcity,
5:34 pm
there will be the barrier and there will be predictor. so there is this population control that he says is also really just symbol. and lot of people who feed these animals and that is so contrary to, you know, reducing the problem because they are getting food from database, getting food from people everywhere. so nutritionally, they're doing pretty well, the only disease is digging on on the population and that's right in the wild a. what we're seeing, the rate of broad is much less than what is happening and out of the city, no one's against feeding the monkeys. and recently introduced fines for offenders in residential areas over but residents can only don't local officials for hope. and the call in monkey got to like shar hidden osman. one part of the job is
5:35 pm
imitating lung goose among the species that deli prime. it's fewer whether they're solid. i've been at this job making language sounds for a year and a half. now the monkeys gets scared when confronted by a language. it's very agile and rhesus monkeys are scared of the sound. it may say that dizzy. oh, mon also set up traps till your monkeys into cages. all the animals are then transported to the solar, but the wildlife sanctuary on delhi is outskirts and free to roam around the periphery. it's part of an official relocation program underway since 2007. but experts say the plan designed to take pressure of the capital has backfired. egbert molig was india's 1st woman primatologist. she has been working for more than 30 years to saul and kick conflict. she points out that monkeys live in social groups
5:36 pm
and their circles get disrupted when random monkeys are caught in once or twos in small boxes. multiple unstable groups are created and that triggers aggressive behavior. more groups lead to more home range. let us spread into newer areas of the city from q 80 as where they were there every way. and every view is not foraging. ground. so naturally did eat naturally the create problems. the wildlife institute of india has been commissioned by the central government to conduct a monkey population centers and behavioral study. it advocates sterilization as a means to control the population. animal rights activists like gory, molly key believe sterilization only exacerbated the problem. television has classically increased the aggression in monkeys within that, in a module,
5:37 pm
it only all kind of made the monkeys more aggressive. while the population came down, the monkey bytes went down. the government is now seeking to recruit more monkey catches and train them to round up the annals in troops. confining entire tribes in the sanctuary could help freed residence from the monkey menace plaguing the streets and homes of delhi. while some urban animal population spose a danger to people, others are just a nuisance dick pigeons, for example, in many cities they did, i did as a best our reporter set out in berlin to discover how these books have co existed with humans in the past. and how bridges came to be viewed as a plague? love them or hate them when it comes to pigeons. berlin is having opinions all the
5:38 pm
horrible. flying rats! i'm afraid of pigeons. i don't like them. lowball when they come to my balcony and they don't let me use my balcony. most people disliked these animals because simply, they crap too much. others are afraid of potential public health risks, but experts say berlin's estimated 10000 pigeons under threat. they are not more or less transmitting the seasons than any other bird or the other animal. it cuts in him, and that is berlin's animal protection commissioner. she's on a mission to eliminate misconceptions about pigeons. there is a conflict between humans and pet since because they are many of them. definitely a man made problem. and most people don't seem to be aware that those animals that we see here and not wild animals, they're domesticated edwards,
5:39 pm
and pigeons are in fact the world's oldest domesticated bird. for as long as 10000 years, people have relied on their meat and eggs for food and on their eagerness to return home to deliver messages. at the 1st olympics in ancient greece, pigeons were used to get word out on who'd one and more recently. pigeon post marked the start of news agency. reuters in world war one, a pigeon named share. i me received a middle for its bravery after it delivered a message that saved the lives of 200 us soldiers in france. so how did such a heroic species come to be seen as a pest? during the 2nd world war, many flocks were destroyed from bombing and that, and set the pitches free and they had no longer housing. and one thing that we did is that the m, we bred them to reproduce a lot. so they have this, this urge to reproduce and reproduce. they do. pigeons lay an average of 2 eggs,
5:40 pm
$6.00 to $8.00 times a year. common attempts to control in numbers include trapping poisoning or even shooting the birds. experts call it torture. also have inadequate m. mays of keeping pitches out of certain areas, and then they get entangled and caught and die the air that is all in suffering. we don't see. luckily for the birds, there are berliners who've taken matters into their own hands. and thankfully, many, many people in the city who take care of pitches and they do get in a voluntary basis. and without that, we couldn't, could manage at all because there's nothing in place by the government. yet. de leon water has been feeding berlin's pigeons for more than
5:41 pm
a decade. she pays for their care out of her own pocket. i thought you might mitchell english me. i wish i didn't have to feed them because this isn't the right place for these animals. i know no, but it's better than doing nothing. feel yuba miss, we'd much preferred to implement other measures like pitching, lice, wood, i machine guns and those i pigeon. last sour, an alternative method to control the birds population and their droppings. here, the animals are provided with appropriate food and can nest in a secure environment with and their eggs can be swapped out for identical looking fake ones. that says, captain herman is a humane way to control bird numbers city wide. we had talking about a stray cats and dogs. we wouldn't have this idea of killing poisoning starving
5:42 pm
them to get rid of them because they are very well. we have our responsibility for those animals, and the same goes for those as city pitches that are domesticated animals. there are only a handful of pigeon lofts in berlin, and all of them are run by volunteer groups. they hope that in time the city will adopt these enclosures as its official strategy to keep berlin's burgeoning pigeon population in check like pigeons in downtown berlin, the brown hyenas of namibia are also tinted by their reputation as women. the animals have long been misunderstood, and hunting has pushed their populations into a threatening decline with a growing recognition of their value to the ecosystem. community based efforts are underway to protect them from farmers who feel for their livestock
5:43 pm
the skeleton coast in north western namibia is home to brown hyenas, also known as strand wolves. why knows a very important in the ecosystem and i've got a very important role to play at lakewood jade as the bad guys. and that's what people think about i enough in general, who if we're coming over, which is always a cargo van, who can do nothing about it. but if, if i must come of lindsey, we are killing though we are big in the reno, owns an assembly up in the field. listen, we are now living in a nature reserve among side wild animals, and we can earn as much with them now as we do with goats and sheep. so i no longer shoot them immediately. the hyenas are perfectly adapted to the extreme desert conditions, an icy cold ben gala ocean current
5:44 pm
biologist mc ferry has been studying the animals here for 7 years, and it's still fascinated by them. she's the science coordinator for a tourism company that supports conservation projects in the region. i put a lot of respect why nash was to survive as a large scavenger in the days it it's, it's no mean feat m and it was every social. when the out they, they solid g so you just see the single are you not out there, but when they back at the dean when they are and cups at the din, this a lot of social going on the a lot of time spent with a cups playing with cups, grooming the cuffs fair bay discovered a network of dens off the coast. where packs of strand wolves gathered to socialize and share their catch. they carry carcasses dozens of kilometers through the desert to fi, to their comes in the dens, own scavenger animals like these prevent diseases from spreading, making them important for livestock farming. but
5:45 pm
their reputation as predators means they're mercilessly hunted. oh oh lipa we could have poison food, lions full liquor to cheat us and in the hyena suite b by catch of that just people are afraid of buying. i said people don't appreciate the value of brown. i know us and they skate of 9. i so people would, would throw stones at them, they would, j seamless goss. ah, ah, 7 years of drought have ravaged the region. the animals here have to travel ever greater distances in search of food. this means they cross paths with farmers like a manual glory, rob, who are now losing more and more livestock to predators. today. that is the
5:46 pm
dental place. if i'm in your, quote the internet and reach it last week, went to light duty cruces goals. 8 and ship deal going to farmer in my little korea . as a result of the lion attack gooey rob, last half of his heard a sizable financial loss for the farmer. the government compensates farmers after such incidents but at a rate around half of market value. when to go to the wild animals from the desert, the lions, the elephants causes a lot of problems. we'll get graded, our quick one t, it's getting well, we don't gain anything from having wild animals here and they bring us nothing. no more horde. mark t went to a hole in our livestock, our, our income, how we earn our living, the old rock at our ho near his stall. gary rob has discovered fresh hyena tracks
5:47 pm
on brown. hyenas don't hunt goats, but the tracks could have been made by spotted hyenas. to a more aggressive species, lou liquid come gun. if, if the government doesn't take care of the hyenas, again, we have no choice or google play the dumb, cuz i mean, we have to shoot them. that's the plan on the mazda ah, when he was a cattle, her phineas casa owner, also killed hyenas in lions. today, he protects them. he's a ranger, a member of the unable community reserve. since the ninety's farmers like casa ana, have joined neighbors to create their own nature reserves, which now cover about one 5th of namibia land mass. last night, elephants rated neighbors vegetable patch. so for the next few nights casa, ona will stand guard level. despite the problems they cause the farmers still want
5:48 pm
to protect the animals on your boat. like oh, you know that didn't things have changed book under the and i my younger she yet for back in the day. if a hyena took one of your animals out, you hunted it down and killed it when going yet pulling the air or the kid a we live in a new world. i'm with laws that protect wild animals and okay, do you, how can we do it? well, with envy, and if we take care of them, we can even live from them. so we should try to live together in no bible got to hoop it, but we do better then we come back to local un, ohio farmers have agreed on limiting livestock so that both wild and farm animals can co exist. since animal populations increased attacks by wild predators have gone down, 100 bed earns its income from tourism, and was able to install electricity and water connections and rebuild a preschool. lou, back on the skeleton coast arranger informs fair bay that an elephant calf is
5:49 pm
missing. the biologist fears the worst, she finds the half half way to a watering hole due to the ongoing drought. the mother couldn't lactate. there is no hope for the young elephant mode of life out. yeah. i mean if you wonder if you live but she was born yesterday, so it seems such a waste toilet not to ever life out yet. yeah . so i love, oh, i knew most and you do what you can. but i mean she, nation like mosquito. and this, this is part of it. date, dentist, bottom of life,
5:50 pm
long periods of drought have made the fight for survival even harder here. hyenas and other animals much search for new living environments. but with the help of researchers like mc fair bay and community based conservation efforts, there still a chance in namibia for people and animals to re adapt and for july out of the desert. i. oh, to spain now and the canary i little to fluff alma when nearly a 3 month long while came eruption lift entire villages, by beneath rivers of lava the field, a molten rock destroyed buildings, plantations, and vineyards and residence of the term. and to find a way to live with the walgreens legacy and rebuild their communities. cleaning up efforts at the foot of the camry, the ha in last montes are in full swing. tons of ashes need to be removed. shadow gone, fall is under either. is a busy tube. it's a special clean up mission,
5:51 pm
but despite the hard work, she is relieved. her village is still there. boy felice, it hillary were over the moon in north. we didn't think we'd come back the eruption was so close just over there that are in thought. fire fighters and many volunteers have helped her to free the house from the ashes. but there is no running water at the moment. and the roof of the small annex might collapse. she and her husband almost lost it all. m e m a was so scared the a house with collapse collaborate bundle con, done by her. so nice abala law because of all those ashes there are a lot of pressure built out of emma and the walls of these types of houses are old . and this is an old yet strong house law because it didn't collapse. it's got 44
5:52 pm
can i think are you shadow gonzales and that are they and others here are optimistic that in a few weeks time life in last manchester, we'll be almost normal again. once the tons of ashes are gone, the island also needs new housing developments. those who weren't as lucky are still living in emergency accommodation. the local government has decided to allow denser construction on la paloma now. because the lava has taken away a lot of the space not far from la mancha, as the aftermath is pretty clear. what had j again take mass of lava has buried almost everything, including the village of told. okay, where horsey garritano lived before and we got her leave. her a mess with her on my house is literally a few kilometers on here under the lava in it. i cannot tell exactly. we're any more than i'm in february. this is this, this is just one big black desert thormayer leaves quite an impression of imprison
5:53 pm
the eruption of the comedy, the hub. okay. now has changed his life and that of thousands of palmetto was for ever for round 3 months, the lava has been destroying buildings and livelihoods. and even the church that was once built by the villagers. right? prefer the architect garritano once to rebuild all of it. just where it once was, but on top of the larva, the whole of gold okay, is cio located digitally evident click for the secondary cover. we could prove to be complicated and difficult. when we don't, marvin have an up to date map of the structure here in soil learning as to warming or but yes, i will. we will have a new landscape here. see bar must be made effort of our own way. will buy saw him . the lava is still hot, though it will take a long time for it to cool down. in the mean time, scientists on the island of tin
5:54 pm
a reef are running tests to see if the ashes of the volcano can be used to make them. and while the reconstruction antenna yaki is sadie horace, i understand the ashes are very clean and i like most would be perfect for construction. okay, locally that would give houses and buildings on local touch to really gaffer holy the fees your him and saudi lalellah. near the middle, the architect has a vision, the historic eruption that has destroyed so much in this patch of the island could attract many visitors. there could be a museum at the foot of the volcano, maybe even exhibitions, and he wants to fully rebuild toward ok to live a life right next to the larva. is she an acre? so everything that will be built on the lava he should be sustainable, antique a logical it but it broke it down being boiler. i also think from what part of their, kimberly protected natural area for the lava part of the the location of luck or
5:55 pm
luck. horsey garritano once to give back to the inhabitants of til ok. and other villages in the south west of la palmer, what the volcano has taken from them, their homes and part of their identity. each of our stories to be has highlighted that the planet belongs to every living. being the calls at home are unsustainable, cracked as is burnt, only hamas, but also cause tremendous collateral damage lit, already living with the consequences. global warming, rising sea levels, unseasonal, floods and droughts, deforestation, burning of fossil fuels are affecting every species on the planet. a course correction we're going distance is the default, as opposed to a mere suggestion is what we need to think about that. and i'll see again next week from our entire team in india and germany. good bye. and thanks for watching.
