it's a different story and could pianist around 40 kilometers north, several people who were hurt by artillery fire. the morning we've visited, this is where they would normally go and attack ruined the local police clinic just a few days before the injured have to leave town. the head doctor shows us what is left off his hawkers provide you with your finance only wooten their mores and there's simply no excuse for this or the it looks like they want to destroy the civilian population. there is never been military personnel at the poly clinic, only civilians know what maybe we just provided medical treatment to normal people in need of all those movies. the hallmark workers not saving them from dunham, hewing at one of the few 80 amps in the town that still works. those normal people see their home being destroyed or wrong them. and that the temperature draw. got him been recorded watches every day. when you leave your home,

doctors were there, but not a single female. and i want to help the women of my country in jamaica because i think is one hooker with a marvel with follow her mother's career with the up to the taliban. they weighty site. how many women dock to stay once and where i go can i can tell i would have to finish. want to give michelle to a meeting in with angela the ambia of northern argentina, or one of the few indigenous peoples left in the south american country. they have also been affected by the corona virus pandemic, and are trying to protect themselves from the virus as best they can. the, and by indigenous community of 20 remodeled dos is located in the sparsely populated border region between argentina, brazil, and paraguay. so far, no one here has contracted coven 19. but they're worried. the traditional medicinal

plants they rely on to protect themselves are becoming ever harder to find foul ca glue. okay. ah, use our ne doing plans to treat respiratory diseases law, but there are in so many around to now because so much of the forest here has been filled by loggers. you would still eat and there have been more and more forest fires the last few months when the forest is burning. we can breathe as well. one, a cobra 19 infection would make it even worse. ok, so of course we're worried and we're good there. in recent years, multinational corporations have occupied vast areas of indigenous lands to produce pulse for the paper industry. according to the u. n, the pulp and paper industries are among the world's biggest polluters. supplies of drinking water are now under threat. argentina's government says it has introduce measures to protect them by people in the home. yet for a minute,

the minute after medical staff and essential workers indigenous communities were one of the 1st groups to be vaccinated. their vaccination rate is 90 to 95 percent corporate. despite efforts to get the vaccines to isolated areas, many members of the in by a community did not want to be vaccinated. they prefer to rely on traditional medicinal plants and their knowledge of nature passed down through the generations . the earth has belong to us for generations. and we take care of it because we can only live and survive together with nature. as a people we were here long before any one else. ah, the community here hopes to protect itself from the corona virus by sticking together and relying on ancient traditions. ah, see horses are some of nature's most fascinating creatures. but in portugal,

their population is declining at an alarming rate due to coastal over fishing. sea horses have captivated the human imagination for thousands of years. and many cultures see them as mythical creatures. one person enthralled by these small animals is biologist george palmer. for the past 15 years, he had studied them here at the faro marine research station in southern portugal. i get the really that's for the family because they're so different. so interesting, so, so sensitive and they were present so well there i thought that began like my role model for research. the station is located in ria formosa,

a lagoon with designated protected zones for short and long snout at sea horses. this is an oasis. scientists have discovered more specimens here than anywhere else . but the sea horses are currently under severe threat. as far as i know the 1st the researchers, they estimate us, i'm more than 1200000 sea horses in lagoon. ah few see 4 years ago there were estimating around one any 60000 quite a bit. please. one problem is the fishing community through we can say sal lives on an island in the lagoon. he loves the sea horses having grown up around them. he knows the areas where fishing is prohibited, but he also knows that there are those who don't respect the restrictions audible music method again, my protect its own, starts close to where we are now and stretches all the way back. fair. oh, forest. professional fishermen are not the problem. always get the ones we're fishing illegally,

or we'll use dragnet to sort of march the sy horses with her last good a. yep. and you'll google the google mud? george. the biologist is looking for small shrimps for his d. horse farm. to him, the issue is more nuanced. see horses becoming caught is understandable. a much graver problem is the destruction of the sensitive animals habitat by the fishing nets themselves. this has led him to search for alternatives and experiment with artificial seaweed. together with his colleagues, he has already covered large patches in the lagoon and by the looks of it, the sea horses are warming up to the new material theory of go there. love it in an artificial thing. it's good for the start and then becomes natural because all other animals colonized this artificial fructose and made. and that's why we thought out of 100 official, one. it's a glimmer of hope for a species that keeps captivating the imagination of humans, but is now threatened by their very actions almost everywhere in the world. not

only in their oasis in the ria formosa lagoon. ah. the joy ride through fascinating worlds. uncharted death. our guides know their way around with a strictly scientific trip to some pretty wacky places. curiosity is required to borrow today. in 30 minutes on d. w. a pulse with the beginning of the story that moves us and takes us along for the ride. it's all about the perspective culture
