hi, millions of species populate our planet, but it's no secret which one dominates them all from crowded cities to isolated re slots. we've assaulted auto polity over nature in the drive for development eco in yesterday. explosive ways. we can co exist with the natural world of which we are an inseparable part. hello, welcome. i'm frantically around the globe. cities are expanding beyond their boundaries to accommodate a growing population. when organisation 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. now. authorities and conservationists are divided on how best to gain the

upper hand. with india's capital, new deli 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 calendar colony. in ne deli, a resident was taken care of her baby when a troop of 12, la cox, boston to her home, made a litigate in almighty. what you did were busy. i press my 9 month old daughter against me, and i pretended to sleep the walk up natalie for nick acting, but the monkey surrounded me. oh, that happened now? well, one, the not child thought the surrounded man started biting me down on my back,

my shoulders, my fine everywhere. it would be to say now why they bit me on my stomach to thought it up together, said ruby nature. no one knows how many thousands room the city. what's clear is that the primary can live issue with more than 950 attacks reported at last count in 2018 over the years. the numbers of increased steadily development. that's gone. hand in hand with the rapid growth in deli human populations. the loss of their natural habitat to make room for people. industrial and farming is part of the problem jungle in undergo. they may have been decimated, especially in the region over now the metro line is coming. we had recommended that the metro line be actually taken underground, but despite all efforts, the d m r c. interest on having it over the land,

which would mean thousands of trees being got once here encroached upon their place . how can they blame them from encroaching upon oz? not only residents, the monkeys as a menace. the animals are reviewed by hindus, as descendants of the monkey got hung on. as a result, people handled bananas and scraps fueling their population explosion. my mom, 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, there will be the barrier and then there will be predictor. so that 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 batteries. they're getting

food from people ah, everywhere. so nutritionally, they're doing pretty well. only disease is digging dial on on the population and that's right in the while, what we're seeing a bit of broad is much lesser than what is happening in out of the city. now warns against feeding the monkeys and recently introduced fines for offenders in residential areas. over violent residents can only turn to local officials for help . and the call in monkey cartridges like shar hidden osman. one part of the job is imitating long goose among the species that daly's primates fear were death. oliver, i've been at this job making linger sounds for a year and a half. now the monkeys get scared when confronted by a longer it's very agile and rhesus monkeys are scared of the sounded very valuable assailant. duffy ah, candles. my postman also set up traps till your monkeys into cages. the animals are

then transported to the osalla, 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 capitol has backfired. it burned molig was india's 1st woman primatologist. she has been working for more than 30 years to solve human monkey conflict. she points out that monkeys live in social groups and their circles get disrupted when random monkeys are caught in one sort twos in small boxes. multiple unstable groups are created and that triggers aggressive behavior. more groups lead to more home range that are spread into new areas of the city from qx, 80, as where they were there every day. and every via is not

for it in 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 sensors and behavioral study. it advocates sterilization as a means to control the population. animal rights activists like gory, malia key believe sterilization only exacerbated the problem. television has classically increased. oh, the aggression in monkeys. within that, in a module, 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 residents from the monkey menace,

pleading the streets and homes of delhi. while some urban animal population, suppose a danger to people, others are just a nuisance. dick pigeons, for example, in many cities there derided as best our reporter set out in berlin to discover how these birds have co existed with humans in the past. and how pigeons came to be viewed as a plague. love them or hate them when it comes to pigeons. berlin is having opinions on the horrible flying rats of . i'm afraid of pigeons. i don't like them. you know, lowball? well, 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 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 me see here and not wild animals, they're domesticated animals, 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 metal 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 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, $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 ways 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 pitching them. they do get in a voluntary basis. without that we couldn't, couldn't manage at all because there's nothing in place by the government yet till he and halter has been feeding berlin's pigeons for more than a decade. she pays for their care out of her own pocket. as they might mr. english me, i wish i didn't have to feed them because this isn't the right place for these animals. i know notice it's better than doing nothing. feel yuba miss, we'd much prefer to implement other measures like pitch and lightfoot, 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 coupling hammon is a humane way to control bird numbers city wide. you're talking about a stray cats and dogs. he wouldn't have this idea of killing poisoning starving them to get rid of them because they are very well aware of 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 chic like pigeons, in downtown berlin, the brown hyenas of the media 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 the skeleton coast and north western namibia is home to brown hyenas, also known as strand wolves. i know is 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 to if we're coming over, which is always a cut over and we can do nothing about it. but even if i must come of lindsey,

we are killing though we have been reno owens an assembly for we 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 biologist mc ferry has been studying the animals here for 7 years, and it's still fascinated by them. she's a science coordinator for a tourism company that supports conservation projects in the region. i've got a lot of respect toy nash was to survive as a large scavenger in the days it it's, it's no mean feat m and it was a re social when the out the 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 been, there is a lot of social going on. they, 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 gather to socialize and share their catch. they carry carcasses dozens of kilometers through the desert to fi to their comes in the hands, o scavenger animals like these prevent diseases from spreading, making them important for livestock farming. but their reputation as predators means they're mercilessly hunted. oh lipa we could have poison food lions full liquid to cheat us. and in the hyena suite b by catch of that, just people are afraid of fighting. 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 again, 2 places. i mean, you caught the internet and wait it last week went to the alliance to secrecy goals . 8 and ship deal going to farmer in. i looked it up 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 went toward the wild animals from the desert. the lions, the elephants consist a lot of problems we'll get graded. our quits are quang t, it's getting well, we don't gained anything from having wild animals here when they bring us nothing go more, hold more r t went to a hole in our livestock, our, our income. how we earn our living, the old work with our whole near his stall. gary rob has discovered fresh hyena tracks. alamo brown hyenas don't hunt goats, but the tracks could have been made by spotted hyenas, through a more aggressive species, globally. liquid come over a. 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 owner, 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 to protect the animals. 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 i, ina, took one of your animals out, you hunted it down and killed it, open wound yet pulling the air. oh, 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, mon, 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 missing. the biologist fears the worst, she finds the cap 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 know most and you do what you can, but they mean she, nation like mosquito. and this, this is part of it. date, dentist, part of life. 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 fluff alma when nearly a 3 month long while came eruption lift entire villages by it beneath rivers of lava. the fury molten rock destroy buildings, plantations, and vineyards, and residence of the term, and to find a way to live with the wilkins legacy and rebuild their communities. cleaning up efforts at the foot of the country. the ha, in last montes are in full swing tons of ashes need to be removed. shadow gone, felice, and that other is had busy tube. it's a special clean up mission, but despite the hard work, she is relieved. her village is still there. boy, fairly similar. we were over the moon is not 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 to your house where collapses collaborate, vandal gone down by her. so nice are bottle of live 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 willoughby. forget know, think out you shadow gonzales and that i, they and others here are optimistic that in a few weeks time life in la mancha us, 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 a gigantic mass of lava has buried almost everything, including the village off toward. okay, where horsey garritano lived before we got her leave her a man with her. i'll my house is literally a few kilometers on here under the lava in it. i cannot tell exactly where any more i'm in february says if this is just one big black desert thormayer leaves quite an impression and imprison the eruption of the comedy, the hub. okay, now has changed his life and that of thousands of palmetto us 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 geo located digitally evident. click for the sale company car we could prove to be complicated and difficult when we don't, marvin have an up to date map of the structure here and then swallowing at the moment. but yes is i will. we will have a new landscape here. see, bar must have been any 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, a reef, i running tests to see if the ashes of the volcano can be used to make them. and while the reconstruction in the yoke is had a far as i understand, the ashes are very clean. her like what would be perfect, a construction ok locally that would give houses and buildings on local touch tune really carefully the fees your him and so it'll allow me to remodel. 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, told ok to live a life right next to the larva. is she an acre? so everything that will be built on the lovely should be sustainable and ecological political. the mean will, i also think from what part of their kimberly protected natural area for the lava therapy. the location lock or lock hotter, garritano wants to give back to the inhabitants of to locate and other villages in the south west of lap alma, what the volcano has taken from them, their homes and part of their identity. each of our stories today has highlighted that the planet belongs to every living,

being the calls at home are unsustainable, cracked as is born, totally harmless, 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 where coexistence 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. ah ah ah ah,
