around 5000000000 bards fly between africa and europe bouts a lot of air traffic. sandra, the journey is logan dangerous. and once they've landed, they'll see that a lot has changed in their european refuge. for one thing. there's a lot of plastic in the landfills, which are often feeding grounds for the birds. waterproof clothing is the must here . andy green and victor martin, nor biologist. i got your pedal. they're looking for seagulls than a lagoon called 20 to pierre dra. it's located between malika and seville, and spain. as a local can regarding the honor i asked, i've been fond of them in the meantime. 5th. yes. as the years by you learn to appreciate these animal law society gives them a bad rap, but their intelligence surprises us again and again. e bad. oh, that her bremen movement and hand that get all most of the birds over wintering

here are lesser black backed goals. the migratory birds come here and there are thousands during the fall from colder climbs in the north. but there's something wrong, more dead goals than usual. didn't your plastic? oh yeah. yeah. maybe want to plan was where the rest of their plastic asked about a 100 refining bits of plastic all over the place. but of this for examples. a bottle little of that by yeah, here's a chicken boon from what he says of glass is part of a bottle. not ever that you were in a conservation area, but there were many migratory birds spend the winter in vietnam, but this late i law were not at risk from high levels of contamination for law has been here. i don't very often, well it's the goals themselves that are bringing in the garbage. in their stomachs they leave it behind in their excrement and vomit.

to latania such info. no light back. gulls over wintered here before the mid 19 eighties. they were only found on the coast than they figured out. it was much easier to find food in land at the rubbish dumps that appeared here, went through fucking dana minto, the ritual is the same. each morning. flocks of birds arrive at the landfills, goals, storks, and other waterfowl. so the rubbish doesn't stay in the landfill. but biologists victors, as humans, are to blame, not the birds to this day 90 percent of garbage and, and a loose dia isn't separated until it arrives at the open landfills. victor takes the samples from the lagoon to a laboratory and seville. and yet again, his colleague who leon, con, oh, can see particles, a plastic through his microscope. the researchers fear it's a dangerous cycle that a lot of the latter motel that interview with other animals that hump these contaminated waterfall. now if i were end up eating the foreign objects as well,

this was on the higher the or up the food chain. the, the more we see of simulate in our body of cl. again, the other that i to and humans might be at the top of that chain. it's not just micro plastics that pose a threat. chemicals. antibiotics and pathogens are even more harmful with the tenants. but those multi resistant bacteria are the biggest problem. because giplin bring the antibiotics and the germs into the wetlands where they transferred to other birds, species and possible tempo dogs, for example, and then transport them to cities. and our loss of pockets will bundles. the goals repeatedly provide them with new clues. thanks to the bird detective instinct, the scientists have made some unsavory discoveries come with not millions of them. we did extra knowledge, we know flying or direction be friends,

or had to be something a try. and then i would, i also went to have i live in la. doesn't find an illegal. i don't know if i got it . if at the almond elma de la, so despite their bad reputation, the goals are inadvertently doing their bid for the environment. no wonder they hold such fascination for these biologists. researchers in come rooms, april forest are also observing animals to draw conclusions about the habits as one of the would be gets green forest. it's a hot bed of biodiversity and a refuge for a number of endangered species. deforestation and poach in pose threats to vis unique arbiter. but there is hope. the guerrilla guardian cobs 15 back this rain forest can only be reached on foot. zante tear and the able forest research project team are on the lookout for rare primates. oh,

oh, look and that's a gorillas nest wave was on command, usually build them on the ground. glory after their evening meal. they make themselves a place to sleep. long as a cushy ball offered to is he on board? we haven't levin primary species here. the including guerrillas, chimpanzees, been drilling and prices red color. this monkeys, they call alberto purse. the primates are in high demand with poachers who can sell them as bush meat. jaunty tear also used to make his living that way. but for most of the last 10 years, he's any study their tracks to find out which animals are traveling way in the forest. he lives in liberty on the edge of able forest. one of the 3 villages that are taking part in the project. they do when i am grasped what impact voting hands and anyway like it's not really a profitable business particularly. okay. yes,

you can earn a bit of, but the income is very irregular. that's why i decided to stop hunting is hungry. i live in an empty shahid. usually now he only gets to see the animals in video footage. the reset his have set up 17 trial cameras in the part of the forest rigorously. besides chimpanzees and gorillas, these forest elephants are also threatened with extinction. and the extremely shy drills are particularly at risk the ebel forest research project was set up by the san diego z wildlife alliance which supports primate conservation. it's been collaborating with the villages for more than 10 years. many of them used to be poachers. now they've learned to collect data on the animals or set up camera traffic. anyone who wants to take part

must join a guerrilla guardian club. then they get paid for their work. for gandhi drank an on going have to thin out the clearing a bit. so the camera isn't obstructed, cassandra, i hipaa laconia once a month the team spends a few days venturing deep into the rain forest. they use campuses and t p. s to find their way. marcell kitchen has been part of the team for 9 years. the environmental scientists records precisely where each animal trail is found. what's particularly interesting are the movements of the around 25 gorillas that were discovered here in 2002 or 2. then they were only 2 known gorilla subspecies in cameroon. one group living south of the sonata river and another hundreds of kilometers away to the north. for the reason why we call we are collecting the sample is to do some genetic analyses to find out, well, how related the glass of

a bow. 2 doors found side of the cassandra, the coffee where glass is very significant and it is even these analyses are finally, you know, finally come to a conclusion. we might realize that in cameron, instead of having tools hops dishes of gary love, we might be having a 3rd one. able forest in southwest and cameron covers an area of almost 1500 square kilometers and borders on nigeria. it is part of a large re forrest region, the 2nd largest world wide after the amazon in brazil, to protect the rain forest in the future. the project aims to include the residence of the more than 40 villages surrounding the forest. the 3 villages taking part in the project so far all have a gorilla guardians club to enable the residence to feed their families without having to resort to poaching. they can join the local club. here they get help to buy life stock or plant vegetables or cocoa o.

like here in liberty, there is a small school in the other 2 villages on the edge of the forest. the teachers receive training from the scientists and protecting the forest and its animals has become a fixture of the curriculum. people know what kind of animal is that. then a guerrilla man, he. the idea is to raise awareness about the topic among the youngest visitors. so can move blair down. what i like about the course is the guerrillas common is there like people yesterday. and what i learned is that hunting isn't good because animals are like people are gone live. the project has made many of the visitors see the forest with different eyes, like shante tears, some 90 percent of the one time coaches have become farmers. and that's what the children see while they grow up. but the guerrilla guardians clubs don't want

things to stop their move wrong. go unfair. do we want to know those zone to be created was on which the measures to guarantee the survival of the guerrillas are respected rush because the species is in danger of extinction. finish by this young alma that's why he only takes his children to the edge of the forest. well, look here, this trail, what animal left, that trail, that he does on a porcupine. he wants his children to know about animals, but he also wants them to know when to leave the forest to its inhabitants. once again with soon that be careful would nature, answer to it with respect is more important than ever. we'll see you next week with the new addition of echo africa until then. i am chris alone, signing off from lagos, nigeria. thank you, chris, and a one good bye for me to hear in counselor. in the meantime,

please do stay in touch with us and all our social media platforms will be waiting to hear from you see soon and a wishing you the best from here. ah, a a a ah, with
