whatever it takes, 5 policeman follow, being paid to go here we are here is actually on fire made for mines. rarely have the paradise beaches of say, shells been so empty. but tourists are now trickling back to these islands in the indian ocean, including from germany. tourism is a major source of income for the islanders, but that revenue is also needed to save this unique nature.

time to set off on today's excursion. the 1st group of tourists are waiting out on the catamaran, dhs, the tourists that comes here. there's the li, meet the ordinary, come in the morning. so you see it's halves fund, the project. it gets the conservation. well going. when we did tours, we tried to add for kids what we are doing here on the island. what's the force of the war? they are on their way to cousin island, where a rare species of bird was saved from extinction. this island is a holiday highlight for many tourists. they would come to fish as mostly because of the b and also for snorkeling and diving. but this causes

a lot of threats to the marion area. call rose, because a lot of pressure. so i think it to be best if we can stabilize a bit with the poorest, but also we need them to continue with the economic need them as well. each visitor has to pay the equivalent of $37.00 euros. this feed mainly pays for the rangers. like dallas, lawrence, he won the african ranger award in 2020. good morning, money mailers, with a fee, and i will mention both more both officials warbler said that them was closed at the same time, but life and finish to know what the island, turn it into a reserve to see if the war for now you have around 3000 or more of the war blow in

this issue. okay. the fun part about the fair return is that they don't build in if they just fall a small dent on a branch. and billy the egg on most of the female covers the egg. she will sit there for around $20.00 to $30.00 days. yes. and then be able to come and feed her with fish. otherwise, if she moves the eds for that, the parents will come and fitted with fish, but it will stay there until it learns how to fly. but what miss, who's in the show is the prolog. 2 of the island doors hards, rock hard rock yonder, granite. but one yes, which is a mixture of birds for sand, water, and although debris and when a solid sides becomes hard as a rock with an area of $27.00, hector cousin highland is among the smaller of the se shell's islands,

but it's home to more than 300000 birds and much more that's as big as they get. and also to easily identify the female. if you look back a leg, you can see that those. yeah. they have along those and that helps to dig in the soil. lady eggs. the john thought toys the can live up to 200 years or more love. okay, fair. and it was lovely to see so many birds app class. they're not shy either. even the tiny baby baby is not client that are in locust. i meant humans have hardly encroached here. i'm probably have cleared a few passes. i put the wood to the side and that's all i. and there's no concrete just a few cottages. fine for 30. the tourists get back on the boat. but dallas stays behind, soaking in his surroundings. i know maybe some people with thing,

but the birds doubting the same thing every day you sit at ot dois, just not the case when you live with them. you learn to appreciate. it's dear friends. every day. every day the sun set every day, the sun rise. you see the beauty every single day, every minute, every sega nazareth, dallas shows us around as a passionate ranger. he knows everything about this island, including the bird call to attract, let's say, shells, magpie robin. or easy a monitoring? yeah, we ring each bird with different color. mike, my name is dailee. this is violet luke. i can be shocked. he glides to can be blue orange as well. but this paradise is threatened. i'm more and more extreme weather

events during the season of the city to come to live egg which is october for february, march. we get around $800000.00 to us. coming to the egg. there will come just here in the sand. dig it and live the eggs, but with the erosion it's continues to come further up in land and most of the time than this, we've got to wash away climate change and the resulting weather are also a threat to the ranger's homes. yeah, yeah. under the house, under the house of cause of erosion which happened last year. and now we're just trying to stuck up some rocks. dallas would like his african ranger award to be shared by the whole team. for him, it's about more than a prize to be able to win the ranger award. that has become huge, as it has put to show on the map in terms of conservation of wildlife nature.

conservation is valuable in itself, but it's also become a selling point for tourists and something that justifies the high costs of staying on the archipelago. a vacation in paradise is expensive, but tourists are willing to pay for it alongside them. the people of se shells celebrate their creole culture and language. a few kilometers away to people are getting ready for their big day. just some final preparations and they'll be ready to take their 1st steps into married life far away from their home in austria. yes, to hope that we wanted our wedding to be something special make we wanted to get away somewhere where we could be alone and by the sea. i don't think there's any

place more beautiful. i don't regret it. i do it again. and again, why as well as those with the movie does it couldn't be any easier. the registrar joined them right there on the beach. today is the beginning of a new chapter and today. yes, i ripping it aloud. in a few minutes you will walk how from yeah, as husband and wife. ready with the challenges of the married 151395, you leave with you make you found a law law me and

i ride. follow the yes. got it comes if a lot of bookings are coming in right now, we've caught up a lot of tradition. of course, there's still a boy that's not be filled. but i am optimistic that things will keep progressing by people will keep poking them and will do fine for a wedding package. costs around a $1000.00 euros and covers everything from the photographer to the coconut drinks . yep. i've run into that. i searched online for places to get mary just the 2 of us and say, shells came up 1st to say we also looked into malicious and some other options with the name. let's take another photo through the tree and then we'll head over to the rocks. as a demise,

most couples who get married with us come simply to enjoy the moment to me and because it's beautiful. it's a shelf is paradox. you can't deny it, no matter how many times you visit like people come once and then keep coming back . because it's so pretty him of you, there's always something new to this guy. but anyways, i had a wedding shootin seychelles wouldn't be complete without a photo at sunset. a site that tourists on the next beach over are enjoying to tourism provides the main source of income for the archipelago. se shells is also a haven for the super rich, as well as tax editors. but that's another story. the capital city of victoria is

small and modest. after all, the total population of se shells is less than $100000.00. 1 of the islands residence is both a priest and the president. the reason why this sport was chosen as the sake of, from here you could see all the, all the, you know, islands, mister any, the one who did the cool. he was a bit scared of himself. so he got all those trees blunted. so as to block off steak house that sunset. monday. it's monday. i can get a waiver round carlo on a head of state, so approachable. he even brings us along into his office. he's passionate about nature conservation or he so ministry of agriculture, climate change and environment. so these are that that's how we've combine them.

because of our size, the min attraction is tourism to his wanting the see sun and send these other 3 men items that they come for. and this also makes us so quite vulnerable, because we cannot go into industrialization because we simply too small and covey daughters that we had put to maybe too much emphasis on, on tourism. so when calvin hit to, we were basically on our literally, on our knees, the countries income was next to 0. the australian high commissioner to say shells is on her 1st official visit to the archipelago. she is also responsible for more issues, madagascar, and cameras. all places that are threatened by climate change when there's

a rise in c temperature in temperature in general, we feel you directly as a couple of years back, a revenue and stuff cycles and we lost over 92 percent of our corals through bleaching. it is time for, for those who are more responsible for the destruction of the planet to, to play their role and not just sue because they are powerful nations, just to continue treating others as a, as the poor neighbor, basically. but for them to put their money where their mouth is, don't just come and give us lectures on climate change. we are fighting for all the survival c grass could help in that fight. the plant works small miracles against climate damaging c o 2. whether that's here off the coast of the main island, or far out at sea in a protected area, shared with more issues. it scenario larger than switzerland. and international

scientists would say it can store more carbon than a terrestrial forest of the same size. yeah, but it, this group of researchers is meeting to survey the sea grass meadows of say, shells for a new project. we realized that cbs a stores, organic carbon facials wants to, i use protection of cigarettes is part of their and d, c. and so by agreeing to protect the c graph uh, within the it is that a facial than they are helping to sequester carbon out of the atmosphere. most people are aware of climate change, but it's less widely known that c o 2 can be pulled out of the air and stored. and what's more that see grass can sequester carbon 30 times faster than a rain forest. and it's believed these underwater meadows can last thousands of

years. if left alone, a sea grass is related to terrestrial plants and their flowering plants. so they actually have flowers and pollen under water. so look, might advance plants whereas, and there's only about maybe, oh gosh, i 70 species in the whole world. probably about it doesn't. she's here say shells is protecting a natural heritage that's already been lost elsewhere. britain has lost more than 90 percent of its c grass meadows. that's another reason why say shells once conservation to be measured. because science can argue its case in numbers. we could collect these cores preference, hopefully about a meter deep. and then you take the car back and you chop it up and, and do carbon analysis on it. and then based on a combination of what's in the sentiment course and the area of sea grass that we determine based on our mapping, then we can come up with an estimate of how much carbon are c grasses and say,

shelf i sequestering, which would then helps climate change into water. these tests are always a race against time. because of the islands, high temperatures needs to be put into a fridge because what we want to see in organ galban, we just don't thing in the yoga meta. and if we leave it too long, in the most environments, you know, in the heat, bacteria will do their job and digest all the snyder. and the only thing you do the shells is very interested in the environment. i mean, i've been working as a shelf in 1981, and it's really been, you know, remarkable to watch how that the attitude towards environment has, has shifted over the years to the point that i think failed was one of the leaders

of the world really in terms of being interested in bio diversity and preservation of the environment, the facial can be a model for other countries. it's not only scientists who are conscientious of the environment here. a group of women meets regularly to collect see week that's washed up on shore. so can be put to good use myrna jill is proud that she and the other women are doing something meaningful for the islands. a spot of us, they shall, while i've the see ways is day. what do i do? we, let's see with, we have to do something, we'd be done. what justice for a, the way we have make the compost happy. i'm power the woman to get some, rob, financial, a income for the home. then we also have been to clean dod ya environment to maintain the environment. it's. 1 all everything

sweeping, collecting bagging the women around here nearly every saturday. sometimes the whole family comes along. the important thing is that everyone has fun. once the pickup truck is full, it's off to the compost pile. not only preparing dom, let's see. we used to for the compost. we supple says you have to put some must be with family. then you put that series and you put some grass. and then you put that seaweed against and how many layer that you wish after one month, you have to turn it then let the process continue. myrna jill is a teacher earning the equivalent of less than $900.00 euros a month. not much in a country where so much is imported and costly. the homemade fertilizer comes in handy. i don't satellites are from death on the see eve from robbie to, in also from the cal anomaly. i start with the fertilizer from the c,

a c with. then for small plants, then i use some money from the, from the rabbit, or from the hey, know from the cow. i use it because for small blunt you have to use the c facility, so he's very good. it's sunday and the president and 1st lady of se shells are heading to church waiver rum color one is deeply concerned about climate change. my house is not next to the see right now i oversee the capital, but i was say to myself, but with that with the, with things are going. the rise in sea level though the mid atlantic islands already being severely affected by coastal erosion. there are some, some places where over the last 50 years or so we've lost up to 20 meters of land and dec. furthermore, the, the outlier outer islands are,

are even more affected because they are just, they don't have rocks to, to act as a barrier. it's only send and in the same way that they were created, it's easy for the see just to take back the sand. today we took officials as a 115 island archipelago to i can tell you, there are certain certain islands that are starting to to disappear. so who knows in the next 250 years, what might happen? they arrive at st. luke's church. rom cala want pushed for it to be renovated 10 years ago after his mother passed away even today he would still rather be here then in the big cathedral in the city. if somebody was very down to her very calm girl, i would say, and he's got

a very good sense of humor. one boy now and for it isn't even as president, he continues to preside over funerals and blessed children in the congregation. first and foremost a bris, so when did they? oh, call me father or andrea they don't call me president servants was gone. and so what are the expectations? the expectations on me is to ensure that my brother, my sister, gets the best in that i fight poverty. i fight injustice

that there is famous. and if this is what serving god is all about. now, what are the expectations all full of politics? politics should also be doing the same thing back down by the c r 2 fishing ports. this one is the industrial port. tuna is brought ashore here, most of it to end up in cans. it's mainly caught by large ships from e. u. countries, spain and france. tuna is a valuable fish. but here it's treated like a cheap mass produced item. next

door is the port of the local fishers with their small boats. they mainly catch yellowfin tuna. it can bring in 5 times as much as the use mass produced canned goods. partly because it's been more sustainably, lute for re knows the hard work that goes into it. we have to think up the shade of very poorly. he has limited just with russell. that's all for law, says that because you bite her. that's why we have been very careful with each it many and say shells would prefer to see less fish go to industries and far away europe. but local young people often don't want to take on this demanding job, even if it pays well. the fish is processed very carefully with regular temperature checks. and sometimes

check on for is very crucial. we have to ensure that the product is within, gets up to them through chevy. it has been kept in that sheila, well, when i went back on i sheena, on humans getting a very good temporary i think, and from each chill now being cleaned, believe about that, you're not going to be exported to the common. so after they finish the, to the what the thing was in the recall and the i'm happy fish to be exported to france. madge out and canada. the blue shield, though, with one shipment company,

said the truck with aerivac and was the vehicle across from the fishing port is the coast guard pier captain lyndon le blush is supervising the departure maneuver of the largest patrol vessel here. the s c t s 0 esther. it deals with a legal fishing which is also part of nature conservation. lieutenant luigi lozzo instructs the task force. so what we usually see during this time is that there's an increase activity of fishing activities. the whole of the sales region, and it's all role and responsibility to get out there and make sure that we don't have any on license on registered illegal fishing happening. and we don't do this bol selma. we walk in partnership with the sales fishing authority and together we go out and conduct these though we call them the fisheries boarding. just off the

main island of my hay. a fishing boat has aroused suspicion. lieutenant lou, so tries to make contact with the position 01 degrees, 28 minutes south 055 degrees at 21 minutes. this is the seizure school's gonna wash about coming. calling with for 9 hours, no response. ah, such as it's only a small boat, but every one is subject to the regulations. a one. 0 hm. they called the boat but got no response. so an inflatable raft,

with armed special forces and fishery officials, heads over fighting the illegal fishing trade is no easy task. imo, i wind up with somebody because you're gonna you're gonna find it on you know, a everything on i'd recommend ahmad license on lot everything on board. yes. okay. any with that? no, we don't get much problem with them. yes. in florida. yes. my gosh, yolande guy, cool moros yam. it's just a local fishing boat. they get into trouble if they over fish. but the huge you

vessels, further out, are completely legal. the waters quieted down for a while due to the pandemic, but things are ramping up again. has been bless you don't, i was i again because there's been less activity on the water and it's easier to be void. those that might be conducting some delays. deductibility. so i guess it due to the gulf viewed as being a blessing and a girl. yeah. the location of se shells is also a blessing that could one day become a curse. if climate change brings more extreme weather events, if islands sink due to rising sea levels or if protective, coral reefs die off. this tropical paradise is at risk and without help, it may not survive. mm ah. a pulse
