a revolutionary technology that's been awarded in sherman feature, brian ah, tomorrow is 60 minutes on d w. you want to know what makes with love about in a way, but i'm not going to have to watch my own car. everyone with later holes in every day. getting, are you ready to meet the german can join me, rachel stuart, on d. w. for in the heart of germany. somewhere in the hearts mountains, a creature that moves star, unaware of some call it the human fish. it's

a pair hits take some getting used to ignored, almost forgotten, but that is about to change with global london saxony. unhealthy home to the only alms in germany, this blind seller, mondays facing extinction. but conservationists haven't really no test because alms aren't just hard to find. they can also be hard to look at. but marcus menda is a fan anyway. he's the marketing director of the hebrew land caves and he wants to help the local alms improve that image. as he live nor lucas, they live in the dog. oh, good blood borne with eyes the talk news turned and saw a layer of skin grows over them. and it's a really unusual animal. once fits here, the 3 toes of the front to the back. crazy folks,

i thought there were so many things that are unique that says this creature part of what i'm the with young on the side of the bazaar alms are about to become famous. but there's a problem. they having trouble pro, creating that's why mark was menda is funding a conservation project. this research team hopes to help the unusual creatures reproduce the sciences you ought to shy it's amazing. young animals have survived so many decades when, if they would be happy and that leads to reproduction. hopefully that will be great and voted as physical. then we'd have to protect the baby and. and also b o. b for biggest challenge daniels was raised on a muffled these in the household, along with few fans and no offspring to date. is this the end for the week to land on the sink? and bag research institute in frankfort? am mine. it's primary focus. animals that send

a schiffer down most people spine spite us to many, just an 8 legged night man. better squashed than protected. but biologist pay to gaga is one of that biggest fans. mm. it should be spiders, earthworms bugs, even aphids. luck. they're part of our planet good of our diversity of the life that lives around us, and we need them to that one born on people. often the o. t. t acres collection includes more than half a 1000000 specimens. spiders play a key role in the ecosystem. they keep some insect populations in jack, but because they look so creepy, it's hard to convince people that they need to have protection. but katie acre has come up with a novel solution. he gives the spiders celebrity names, irish when one species of spider i've grown particularly fond of is the head to

robert david bowie. david bowie, actually somebody named david bowie, of course, helped get the word out, that it's habitat is under threat, coin, the confederates in fun. and chagrin, docile english does the he could, that was how i got the message. i said maybe even reaching people who wouldn't usually hear about oil to these on for like new young ve provides washer now is not uncommon. the giant crap spider may not be anywhere near as famous as the real david bowie. but thanks to pay to jak as idea, it's have plenty of media exposure. funding and public support are crucial for research and species protection. and because that's been lacking to date, many species of spider on dying out unnoticed with potentially grave consequences. he can systems grow, we can with every extinction on her english. there's actually a lack of knowledge here. one that's preventing us from getting species like these under any read list, or using good hard facts to properly reinforce the message that they need

protection, commitment. but that's why we're trying to promote research into these animals. we are, so we'll actually know mall and we'll be in a position to say with certainty, yes, this species name protection now on chron, yet crucial for a particular ecosystem. these guns 50 for jesus, or the unit cost in the 1st step towards the better image. information, after all, many people are scared of spiders. a mostly unfounded fear says the biologist. the tarantula, for example, may be huge, but it doesn't pose a threat to humans. research is the foundation of any successful species protection program. but to date, there's very little scientific data on the home. it's natural. habitat in subterranean rivers makes it hard to observe. that's why cooper land is a unique opportunity for researchers. losing the

hoover land alms are already over 80 years old. life expectancy around a 100, at least, that's what scientists think. they also think the ohms can still reproduce, but if they don't procreate soon, the populations fate is sealed. then no p r campaign can help the team from the likeness institute, wazoo and wildlife research uses ultrasound to examine a female we had no, we'd gotten our hopes up a bit as far because we found this female together with a male under a rock. but what we're finding here doesn't look very promising, after all, we have it healthy. yes, sure. it's healthy, but there is no sign of any exit. the reproduction

specialists only come to overland twice a year. they usually focus on preserving large species, such as the northern white rhino. dorothy sure, it's much more difficult to get funding for research into small unknown species. i found that live in caves and are inaccessible funding scalar um will come over there as much easier for large charismatic species like ry known. so ha, i'm fabian's like the alm are among the most threatened vertebrates, but they usually overlooked by species protection campaigns. it's easier to get close to people with mammals and birds. were there somehow closer to us than if i'm working with fish, amphibians, or reptiles. that's much more difficult to go. although there are a few icon, such as the fire salamander and the fire belly towed there,

brightly colored and impressive, but it's easier to pull on people's heart strings if you stayed. with mammals and birds, the mother to logan blabbed. the alm has already captured the researches, hearts, and baron lake tate, about pen latest discovery. yeah, i'm glad we just found relatively well developed egg deposits or follicles in receiving them from messenger. we're going to measure them again to see how big they are. he will, but this is an active female animal, reproductively active. these round structures here but to reproductively active female doesn't necessarily mean babies the researchers can't get their hopes up just yet. your near most incidence fully looking at it cautiously on. yes. it's

a lot different than breeding copies copies that would happen much more quickly, or were broadens or if owns, take forever. and that's why the moment it's still speculation to say whether or not they can reproduce is offered franconi roneesh obama, but we'll keep added. i'm grand verizon populations are fresh water species have declined by 84 percent over the last 4 decades. at least partly because of water pollution and with a dams. researchers think more people need to know the truth. could the on be the perfect character to help raise awareness. but 1st they'll have to survive. new bacteria can enter the water. the creatures also hate bright light. the researchers look for eggs with head lamps and an endoscopic camera. mm hm.

we're using a low light camera. hang on, there was something. her light there could be sperm. amazon, no, spill, we're a bundle or metaphor. so let's have a look up, see mom before you're home with her. i up to now we've seen one sperm it before and it was a bit more ragged and more reflective. similar wisconsin to was actually transparent friend that i think that's gravel to bed. could have been something we often both of the things that we're hoping that maybe in 2 months when the female we looked at with the ultra sound is ready for us, that will actually find some of them like to work with them. so it's dinner time is less than a chance of own babies. protecting

aesthetically challenged animals requires some creativity. simon, what approaches, totally unique stand up comedy. the englishman founded the ugly animal preservation society. 9 years ago. you have always had a proper, deep love of the weird and the wonderful creatures. and i've been amazed that people aren't into them. if you only care about the cute things and you're missing the point of conservation, and i'm trying to get people to love these things, which at 1st glance, they might not simon what 1st life of parents since the career locked down when it's gonna be a class get back in front of real people and a because i would, we don't gigs on line versus not the same open still funny. what's a terrifying prospect? the biologist is toryn the u. k. with his show today, he's appearing at

a science festival in the western english city of chelton him, you're much to find you on what we really should do. yes, it was all because of these dish i hit lattice does. does it mean a why the pond is the w w asked mars got? yeah, it's it's cute, fluffy that what you're thinking, black and white, save them so much money and color photocopy. yeah. you know, the red lists that look like the big book of endangered species. like a kind of yellow pages of death. i was looking through it a start to notice that it was filled with butterflies, but there was no moths cuz mouth to that little bit too dull when they go extinct. we don't even seem to notice, never mind care. and i thought i thought this is wrong. you know? cuz cuz we got all of all the things cuz cuz like as anybody's tried internet dating knows, the vast majority of life, right there is a hideous, ah, the common decamp also has its own mascot. is the panned and not good enough. the

sh. did you all know the blood fishing this animal? the world? i mean it's ugly. it's depress. physically, a liberal democrat. we sleep walking our way into a mass extinction like we are, is bod, for the planet as an asteroid was for the dinosaurs. and that's, that's a tragedy. and, but it's tricky. got to deal with it arrives, decided as can you stand up comedy because otherwise you get grief fatigue. so by addressing it can a light manner and having fun of it mental, i could get people talking about conservation in a different way. and simon is no lone wolf. you still want to what is kind of other comedians also share the stage with simon. the ninja lantern shock. each of them presents a different animal. they share the entry fees with various environmental projects. as the evening draws to a close, the audience votes for its favorite in the extinction slam would work to vote from

scott and rob, who's looking for the ninja luxury. and he'd like to vote for the mary river turtle . oh community. so jen, so i think that is the answer. this is joan from science news. will you agree animal mascot? i only thing i think is more to be of the animals than we realized before. we learn to lot from just is not what you just see. it, sir, is a lot more to them. i love animals, so stop actually get an exposure to the ones that you don't see. his lunch is, is riggs. i, in, in 2013 what? open ice an online paul, to crown the world's ugliest animal. the block fish won and found fain that's the thing of it was by ology, the more you look, the more beauty you see, even if you're talking about an ugly thing. so look, ugly animals matter to. don't be boring.

mock was, men doubt also wants to protect ugly animals. he wants to turn alms into celebrities, to attract tourists to rubin and, and raise some cash or whatnot. lincoln was from fault for life on his own is sometimes used as men sole gazande. so often on to when i did some actual animal that you can see or even talk to is also like it was that when can that leads to ignorant? and we need to remedy that and say, okay, this animal lives in germany, which francisco tony here in the herman's her came to ruble on, as far as that makes it special bits yellows. and that's where we can start telling story labels. it's and i, she sions who up c n. and marquess menda has hired an advertising specialist to help out will be its own lake in a sec, so please turn off your flashlight. now we are here and all of us. yes,

that's all lake with animals live here with blue holland. spend their entire lives in the novel stage. in balcony countries, the amphibians are called human fish because of their skin color. sounds more like something out of a horror movie than a p r campaign. i am going to see it, so seeing animals totally naked, like but it was not especially attractive with the now when the took him to look at how it moves, it's watch it. you take the time to think about that song. it's can, there are plenty of things you can use to play a creature to children and make it interesting. can thurmond as if that's illustrated and animated kids will love it. like that and make something cute out. yes, we can when the leave, because of a lesson education, something small and a full time. that's why you think that might make it seem dull. which back to that's what we'll touch people's hearts. a shy and it's appeal lies in as prime

audio nature to learn. it's unique now that's actually t 2. so i know i wish colonoscopy funded was on the hide, and i think lab needs to be conveyed as on his loved the cuteness, but perhaps something cheeky conflict of us precious. it will be a challenge. but a nice one issue now was for a few weeks later mark was menda is going to sabina shannon bags agency, and michelle designs for the own as levy star are ready. the w. w. f spends up to 2700000 euros a year on advertising. mark was mendez budget is a fraction of that. but will the campaign still be a success and help st. the on the sides of the idea is that the i was having a really relaxing morning, laid back missing had nothing can bother him this early in the day and thus later than he walks into the light and it surprises him. he's off of the fellowship of the it's not what he was expected. done a good all right arm which left us and i'll just let it speak for itself. my physician i can't

i just oh yes, that's really cool. who if i like choke? if i newspaper in the coffee mug, make it funny. i don't in coffee official, just the way i wanted it to be. i will will, will kids from like the style always i'm the little details will appeal throughout all which he can the i'm a complete package retired, straighten and the vaccinate and which one is a one? when did the sister can all good? well, the closest to stream with them when we go normally the humorous animation will help us increase awareness of this very special animal. and from among a lot of people already, the yahoo! wafa and you, much on all, hildreth was, if of these adults finish or school age student this year in so via their oil down the all and fan club can start growing because we've got an actual character, goods and rigor. marcus menda is happy with the character named all

nish, but will all mesh become a star o? a meto when the noah frank canyon town of a ban, a good place to find an exceedingly rare animal. but you need a good eye to spot one. it likes to hang out on a rose bush leaves thick antenna plant, back the bark, which measures just a few millimeters, was thought to have been extinct in central europe. bending 2011 and tamala, gest klaus man to re suddenly found it again in a. then he launched a conservation project. it slogan, save rossi, very exciting. bugs have an image problem, image bugs, or something you might find in your bed,

but something you have to protect yourself from old look out for some even smell bad stink bugging can. so in principle, people's experience of bugs tends to be really bad, it's listed. and then one comes along that has to suddenly win hearts and minds and turn everything around on. and we did as 13, we all disclose grozis neighborhood was a military training ground until 2004. when the army left, the site was earmarked ford motor racing until klaus mondrey came along. he campaigned against turning the forest and meadows of the $270.00, to site into a racetrack in doing so, the biologists saved the habitat of the thick antenna plant bug and numerous other species. some may not even have been discovered yet screens in the a d audience, the unscrupulous species that are disappearing for the ones we're not focused on

and get us cuz i don't see it as a ranking because this bosses are unknown. i can't decide against as easy as i don't know. it exists as general form to him, so they're not just a multi unit him. and so the more appealing ones tend to be prioritized forms understand. we just have to accept it was more about we can't give up and allow ourselves to resist efforts to save other species. largely lesson of the under an auto group would extra just like the bug itself. it's happy tant, has suffered long term neglect. the ran insect thrives only in the transitional fringes between forest and field intensive, farming and forestry on destroying those fringes. but thanks to rosie, science is now taking a fresh look at the unique species. diversity of the forest edge are distinguished images employ. yeah,

that's i think that with this project we've stumbled on a need that now needs to be addressed. we're collecting the necessary information some and we're seeing our work validated by all the species where able to find on the forest edge often debit and also in the threat to the speeds. sells them to federal school. it's no coincidence that creatures living in these areas are often among the most endangered in those so sick ferguson, klaus mondrey and his team have appointed rosie the patron species of this ecosystem. they hope that bucks protection will benefit as many other species as possible. a common but controversial practice in nature conservation. after all, each species has different needs within a single habitat, a possible solution to preserve entire ecosystems instead of individual species and approach that is being tested in aden. the site is now an official special area of conservation. so far more than 7600 types of plant and fungus have been identified

here. it's one of the most species rich areas in germany. i grew up not far from here and in the past, and you couldn't access this area on the sphere. it was restricted only luckily i am your he'd made me will past it once a year was and now partly comes to rosemont, his ari i saw it's been transformed us now i come here every other day. it's my bring my dog as well. my own, this is a lovely place for a war for klaus mentary has campaigned for the preservation of this region for more than 15 years. this is, as you can see, the lovely fig antenna, the thick red antenna system. we've been lucky to find wonderful mom, and his efforts to put to rosie in the spotlight will continue. the w w. f specialist agrees such a commitment can definitely pay off heater every species is worth protecting. often including those we assume to be unnecessary. for those we don't find especially

appealing, i see also research shows that working with lesser known species as possible. it just means putting in more time to increase awareness of those lesser noise. lisa cannot fill out the contract. so back in the hearts region, efforts to get the home to reproduce failed again this year. but well, the public relations campaign be more successful. it would help the research mac was mentor, has gathered a few testers to find out yahoo with these together with frost and lugs agency from foster. we've produced an animation about this very special animal that's to make the old truck live to families and children guys, i'm of amune for. let's take a look. one think it's only a few seconds longer as we hope with us. it's my getting palsy. good then. ah ah ah

ah as each blemish on opi, that's what gets exactly what we wanted an employee, mike, something positive and micro law phones from lack of a vague windham. i've all, mom, i'm just to have fun while learning about the animal. it's quarter skin wednesday was all night, and a t i was wanting, i know the old minutes new guys as a promotional star in a cartoon. and now was a stuffed animal, the biologist, and it's been a great opportunity for species conservation. i think he's now yours. he lives right here. instead of finger wagging and saying you have to save the world up, you can't destroy everything you have to protect species by for the on says, hey, this is something i would like to conserve it. and if we're realizing that now the made will realize it later to about some tiny little insect that we can't even see

if we're not special ed in this. perhaps what we perceive as utley may hold the key to preserving something very beautiful ah ah ah, ah ah

ah, with who with no key how life began with brand new insights into the microcosm, courtesy at the lattice light, p 7 microscope from indiana shows as a light cell division,
